A CHANNEL 4 film about Islam was cancelled last week because of threats by Muslims.

That was quickly followed by mass protests worldwide in reaction to an Americanproduced low quality film that mocked Islam.

Britain’s politically correct, and a significant proportion of our political left, will presumably be delighted because this will further erode free speech: in particular criticism of Islam.

What is bizarre about the British political left is that they foam at the mouth in reaction to the so called “far right” in the form of the BNP. But they normally defend Islam against any criticism.
