A man in Britain was visited by police and told to take down his material that was critical to Islam from Facebook. He states:
The officers themselves were polite and reasonable enough, however their message was somewhat chilling: it was insinuated that if I continued to post material which could be considered critical of Islam or offensive to the practices of Muslims, I could potentially be arrested for ‘hate crimes.’
Equally chilling was that I have no idea how they obtained my personal information and they weren’t willing to disclose this information during their visit.
These police officers should be swiftly reprimanded, but it much more likely that they will be backed up by their superiors. They are acting like Sharia police. All religions should be allowed to be criticized, scrutinized, and even mocked in a democracy. British authorities have apparently forgotten that. Until they wake up and recover respect for the freedom of speech, they are aiding and abetting the destruction of Western civilization.
The UK has overwhelming problems with Muslim rape gangs, hate-preachers who incite jihad attacks, and Sharia courts that send women back to their husbands to be abused and sometimes killed. Yet this is what the police are doing.
So while this Brit was paid a polite but clearly threatening visit by the police for his critical Facebook postings about Islam, in June it was reported that “Google refused to remove vile YouTube rants” by Muslim hate preachers Ahmad Musa Jibril and Abu Haleema “who inspired the London Bridge killers.” These men “told followers to make ‘enemies’ out of all kuffar [non-believers]” and “instructed their Islamist viewers not to grieve victims of terror attacks.” Their jihadist teachings were also found on Facebook and Twitter.
These hate preachers and their ilk should be promptly rounded up and deported, or otherwise jailed.
Increasingly, we hear shocking news about Muslim preachers instructing their coreligionists to commit the worst crimes against innocent “unbelievers,” but there is rarely any followup news. Unfortunately it is those who report on the deeds of jihadists who are deemed to be the troublemakers, and falsely accused of hate.
The more we are intimated by jihadists and Western authorities continue to aid and abet them, the further we sink. The UK is now effectively ruled by Sharia norms; criticism of Islam is forbidden.
“Rees-Mogg fan ‘warned by police’ for posting content that is critical of Islam”, by Jonathan Curtis, Your Brexit, August 7, 2017:
The owner of a Facebook page praising the Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg has told their followers that they have been visited by two police officers who provided ‘advice’ that included a warning to stop posting content that is ‘critical of Islam.’
According to an update on the page called The Church Of Mogg, the page itself was frozen by Facebook for two weeks, and the owner was advised that they could face arrest for ‘hate crimes’ if any further content of that nature is posted in the future.
Perhaps one of the most worrying parts of the Facebook post is that they say they have no idea how the local police obtained his details without some sort of court order or similar legal action.
At the time of writing, this question remains unsolved.
Jeez, no real crimes to investigate?
Some thing merit hate or else you’re a coward and have no love of the truth. Islam is one of these.
This would make an episode of The Sweeney very boring.
>>>These men “told followers to make ‘enemies’ out of all kuffar [non-believers]” and “instructed their Islamist viewers not to grieve victims of terror attacks.”
Nothing in the Koran of respect for humanity, believers & non-believers. Lots of pure hatred in the Koran for non-believers.
The UK’s citizens need a written constitution that protects them from their government.
You mean like the one we have that gets ignored?
I have many British “friends” on FB. Most of them are pretty circumspect when it comes to islam. You can certainly get where they are coming from but nothing like the free speech exercised by the Yanks and the Australians.
Ah yes....hate crimes, that uniquely American far left invention designed to shut down free speech that we exported to the rest of the world, and some of the suckers fell for it. I HATE the left.
I wonder why these UK muslim-loving, self-hating cucks let Pat Condell get away with what he says about the muzzies on Youtube.
Ok. So document these communications from the police, then stop posting.
Then begin posting the same stuff except replace Islamic references with references critical of Christians and the Catholic church.
Then sit back and see how much the police care about what you post on FB.
MOst Americans have NO IDEA about life in other countries. People who don’t travel beyond our borders assume there is freedom of speech everywhere else. Can’t you get cited now in Canada, if you use the wrong pronoun when referring to a transgender? God Bless America! May she always retain the freedoms we are accorded in our wonderful Constitution! (And let NO MAN OR WOMAN take them away from us!!)
First they took their weapons from them, because no civilized Brit needs a gun. Now they are taking away their right to free speech, I assume because no civilized Brit should ever complain about someone who wishes to kill him.
“Jeez, no real crimes to investigate?”
No real crimes under English Common Law.
But a LOT of crimes under the now ascendant Sharia Law, which has apparently superseded the Crown.
Soon, England shall no longer be England.
I do know enough about the state of personal freedom in UK to never go there nor want to go.
Freedom of Speech is a human right, and one in which England has long abused it's citizens. Canada too.
The time for allowing the government to censor what people think and how they express themselves needs to come to an end.
Pard, I’ve spent time outta the country. What we have is still better than anything else on the planet.
They will obviously get into real trouble if they say what they think. This suppression of speech seems to be one of the ways in which Europe distinguishes itself (in a bad way) from the USA.
I expect it is a legacy of their long history of Monarchy/Aristocracy. It needs to be overturned. Freedom of Speech needs to be recognized as a Universal human right.
My ancestors were present and accounted for it! :-)
