A screening of a controversial documentary on the history of Islam has been cancelled on security advice after its presenter was threatened.

Historian Tom Holland's Channel 4 film Islam: The Untold Story sparked more than 1,000 complaints when it was broadcast.

Holland was threatened online with a torrent of abusive messages on Twitter.

A Channel 4 spokeswoman said: "Having taken security advice, we have reluctantly cancelled a planned screening of the programme Islam: The Untold Story.

Here is another example of Islamists enforcing Shariah blasphemy laws. Note that the Islamic world uses two methods in tandem to suppress freedom: the political Islamists, like the Muslim Brotherhood and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), use "lawfare." They attempt to get international laws to enforce Shariah through transnationalism and they also use law suits to harass and intimidate. They have virtually unlimited funds with which to do so. One Saudi prince filed no fewer than 40 such lawsuits before he thankfully dropped dead.

All the while, the Islamists make use of the implied threat from the Jihadis, groups like Al Qaeda, HAMAS, Hezbollah, the Taliban, Ansar al Shariah, Lashkar e Taiba and others, as well as mobs of largely illiterate Muslim citizens, to use violence to enforce Shariah.

It is important to note that both the violent Jihadists and non-violent Islamists have the EXACT SAME GOALS and they work together. This current crisis illustrates that vividly...

Islam is evil and terrifying, but it uses that horror to protect a glass jaw.

That’s why they get hysterically angry when anybody talks about Mad Mo.

“We’re going to find out, sooner or later, if Abdul will pray, to a glowing crater.”

A month after that, there will be no more islam. It will go the way of the Aztec and Inca religions, after their god-kings were overthrown.

It will be a case of recycled history, but with some thermo nuclear warheads at the scource this time instead of a Lepanto style engagement.

Muslims are non-violent. It is a religion of peace. And if you dare question that statement they will kill you.

""Today (1950), the hatred of the Moslem countries against the West is becoming hatred against Christianity itself. Although the statesmen have not yet taken it into account, there is still grave danger that the temporal power of Islam may return and, with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be Christian, and affirm itself as a great anti-Christian world Power"."

Put it out on DVD. I’ll show it, and serve popcorn for free.

The only people who survive Islam are the people who resist and defeat it.

The sad truth of the matter is that, by almost any other measure, the prospect of victory is becoming more remote by the day. And no one seems able to explain the reason.

In an effort to provide the missing answer, on April 24, the Center for Security Policy is making available via the Internet a new, free ten-part video course called “The Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Enemy Within.” This course connects the proverbial dots, drawing on a wealth of publicly available data and first-hand accounts to present a picture that has, for over a decade, been obscured, denied and suppressed:

America faces in addition to the threat of violent jihad another, even more toxic danger – a stealthy and pre-violent form of warfare aimed at destroying our constitutional form of democratic government and free society. The Muslim Brotherhood is the prime-mover behind this seditious campaign, which it calls “civilization jihad.”
