So causing "loads of hassle" is acceptable now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

despritdan   219 #28 Posted June 8, 2022 So here it is folks, the peaceful tolerant face of happy, harmonious multi-cultural Britain.  Cineworld pulls £12m film on Prophet Muhammad's daughter after it's branded 'blasphemous' | Daily Mail Online  We're seeing the usual tame capitulation to the Muslim bully boys but bullies usually get their own way, because they tend to be violent and we can't blame the cinema managers for fearing for the safety of their staff, given what happens to people who upset Muslims.  France teacher attack: Four pupils held over beheading - BBC News  Robert Jenrick 'troubled' teacher has 'gone into hiding' over cartoon of Prophet Muhammad - LBC  French journalist under police protection after documentary on radical Islam | Daily Mail Online  Apparently, the film is breaking the laws of blasphemy even though that isn't a crime in this country, but that doesn't matter to this lot, they bring their own laws and values with them, then impose them on western countries who are foolish enough to let them in. We need politicians who are strong enough to stand up to Islam but they're all running scared and find it safer to give in to their demands whilst telling us we've been enriched.  Islam is spreading throughout the western world like the red weed in 'War of the Worlds' which smothered and choked the landscape, turning what was green and blue into red with planet Earth slowly ending up looking like Mars. It's only a matter of time before this country becomes dominated by Islamic values and we end up with a society that resembles a graveyard rather than one enlivened by the chatter of free speech. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I wouldn't have thought so would you?! It's now a nice little earner, as millions of people like me, who had never heard of it have now heard of it, and many will want to see what all the fuss is about. 4 hours ago, top4718 said: So causing "loads of hassle" is acceptable now? Protesting is about causing loads of hassle. Can't have it both ways, either it isn't allowed and people complain that the government are too heavy handed, or you allow it, and thousands of men can go and get away with this sort of thing.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If someone doesn't like the film then don't watch it, simple. If someone doesn’t like it, they don’t watch it.  If someone likes the film, they can’t watch it (not at Cineworld at least). Simple!  Oddly, was just reading this thread, and it came up on the BBC news! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
