I bet the Gang of Four are pleased that England has its priorities straight:
British Police hunting for man who made a rude joke to a Muslim By Pamela Geller - on August 18, 2019
In the birthplace of the principle of the freedom of speech, making a joke in violation of Islamic law sets off a manhunt. The land of the Magna carta is D E A D.
While the good people of the UK live in fear, knife crime has destroyed the peace on UK streets, police launch a manhunt for jokes that violate the sharia. That is life under Islamic law.
Note TellMAMA’s headline: they claim that this man made a “racist slur” against a Muslim. What race is Islam again? In reality, there are Muslims, and Islamic jihadis, of all races. But TellMAMA wants to intimidate Britons into believing that anyone who makes a rude quip to a Muslim is a racist, and thus deserving to have the book thrown at him.
But that’s all this was: a quip. Say anything you want: the guy was rude, or his joke was tasteless, or whatever. But an arrestable offense? That’s insane. The Muslim could have laughed it off, or come back with his own counter-quip. Instead, he contacted Tell MAMA, who contacted the police, who, instead of telling them to grow up and stop the endless victimhood posturing, is actually investigating. The cumulative effect of all the many incidents like this one in Britain will be a cowed and submissive populace that doesn’t dare utter the slightest negative word about Muslims or Islam, for fear of prosecution. And that, not coincidentally, is the status Muslims enjoy in Islamic law, which forbids all criticism of Muslims or Islam on pain of death.
