John Cleese Reported to 'Prevent,' UK's Terrorism Prevention Program
Hot Air ^ | September 29, 2026 | David Strom

Posted on 10/01/2026 4:36:05 AM PDT by lowbridge

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

-snip

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.

Cleese is currently on a comedy tour. I hope he has good security. As we all know, the “religion of peace” often reacts violently to any criticism.

Anyway, Cleese’s (factual) comments are sure to upset the British government. I wonder if they’d stoop so low as to arrest him.

These are the quotes he should be held for:

I will not buy this record, it is scratched. My hovercraft is full of eels.

Do you want to come back to my place, bouncy-bouncy?

You great poof.

If I said you have a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

I am no longer infected...

I hesitated a second before posting that reply - but I know people around here are hip enough to get the reference.

It’s very hard for the gov’t to go after people like Cleese & JK Rowling. I wish more of the elite/aristocracy would stand up & speak the truth.

As though he should not have the balls to say it. Either you do or you don’t and he certainly does.

I know he has no love for Trump so I’m not holding my breath waiting for Cleese to thank him for doing anything at all about it.

Cleese can pound sand after all the shots he’s taken at us and Trump. He and his progressive Brit pals deserve everything happening to their extinct country.

The UK is lost. Expect a wave of immigrants from there as the survivors run for their lives.

If they won’t fight for their own country and culture why the heck would we want them?

Absolutely not. We have enough back stabbing weakling libs in this country already. No Brits, Canadians, Australians, or Kiwis.

As a group comedians are well above average IQ.

Cleese is a brilliant example...
