The British Press Continues Down the Slippery Slope of Self-Censorship
Canada Free Press ^ | 02/09/15 | Al Kaltman

When fear of reprisal is the reason why British news outlets censor themselves, then the nation is no longer free, the battle against Islamic fanaticism has already been lost

Among the artworks in the Islamic collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum are two beautiful paintings by 12th century Persian artists. One depicts Mohammed ascending to heaven and the other is a scene in which a prince is drinking wine while carousing with beautiful scantily clad women.

Were the artists alive today they would be guilty of insulting Islam and sentenced to death by stoning in Iran. If they were Saudi Arabians they would be executed by being beheaded.

In an op-ed in London’s Evening Standard, Rashid Razaq wrote that as a Muslim he knew that there is no God given right not to be offended, and that the murder of the Charlie Hebdo journalists wasn’t an attack on freedom of expression so much as an attack on an easy target by those to whom satire poses an existential threat because they fear that “we’ll realise their brand of religion is a joke.”

If there really has been 1,000,000 victims of Muslim rape gangs, then there is no coming back from that. England is 100%, totally, irreversibly lost. The decline will be exponential now. The caveat to that is a massive uprising by the English. Since that won’t happen, England’s history as the greatest contributor to culture in the history of the world is over. In 20 or fewer years there will be nothing left that anyone will say is truly English: no royal family, no Church of England, no Parliament, nothing. 1,000,000 children raped, with no response, no outrage, no end is a really big deal.
