The Islamist organisation 5 Pillars has reported John Cleese to the Prevent Programme after John made factual, accurate and valid statements about Islam

John's statements on Islam:

“To criticise a culture whose holy book advocates the killing of all the people they disagree with...is not racist. It’s culturalist.”

“traditional British values are under attack from Muslim belief systems, especially the Koranic demands to kill ‘infidels’.”

“I personally prefer a culture that does not approve of Female Genital Mutilation, Child Marriage and Killing Infidels.”

“Another religious diktat from the Pro-Paedophila Propaganda Department.”

5 Pillars are a vile organisation who should not exist in the UK

We value freedom of speech and expression especially when it comes to criticising ideologies or religions

Cleese took a swipe at 5 Pillars, a truly vile extremist organization that is all about spreading Islam in the UK, and publishes a lot of jihad-adjacent content. They have been running a pressure campaign to get his speaking engagements canceled.

I wonder if they’d stoop so low as to arrest him.

If his comments get any real traction they sure will arrest him but they'll have to stand in line behind the muzzies that want to kill him

It took him 80 years, but Cleese if finally moving away from the fashionable left and is choosing sides for the right reasons.

Islam truly sucks! You’d end up at zero if you listed all their good points. They wish to destroy everything not them and then take everyone else back to the stone age. Hate and Destruction follow them wherever they go.
