‘Monty Python’ legend John Cleese doubles down after incendiary posts about Islam spark UK complaint

"Monty Python" legend John Cleese is doubling down on his months-long string of incendiary posts about Islam after activists filed a complaint that asked Britain's counter-radicalization program to scrutinize him over the missives.

"How exciting," the 86-year-old comedian wrote after learning that a member of the public had referred him to Prevent, a British government program designed to intervene when authorities believe someone may be vulnerable to radicalization or becoming involved in terrorism.

The September 22 referral, first reported by Muslim-focused British news outlet 5Pillars, accused Cleese of a "sustained pattern" of online activity that "demonizes, dehumanizes, and collectively attributes violence and criminality to Muslims and Islam."

John could end up in jail due to the Brit law outlawing offensive comments about murderous mooselimbs.

Violence and criminality are attributes of Muslims and Islam.

"Violence and criminality", eh? How about:

... for starters.

Telling the truth about the intolerant, bloodthirsty, backward, rapacious, nihilistic cult of islam is “incendiary”!

This is the quintessential example of speaking truth to power. But don’t hold your breath waiting for that recognition.

“””Monty Python” legend John Cleese is doubling down on his months-long string of incendiary posts about Islam after activists filed a complaint that asked Britain’s counter-radicalization program to scrutinize him over the missives.””

***

Are those activists really that stupid... or are they just trying to use UK law against the ones that dare to point out the law-breakers and radicals. It’s like how the radicals in the US try to use or are using lawfare against anyone that exposes them (like Nick Shirley, O’Keefe, etc.).


Britain’s main counter‑radicalisation programme is called Prevent, an early‑intervention strategy that stops people from becoming involved in, or supporting, terrorism by offering support and guidance before they commit an offence.

I have the Fawlty Towers DVD. I’ve watched each show at least six times.

“Prevent, a British government program designed to intervene when authorities believe someone may be vulnerable to radicalization or becoming involved in terrorism.”

So... he was reported because ... he’s the exact OPPOSITE of being vulnerable to radicalization? Am I reading this right?

Maybe he should quickly move to the US, if he hasn’t already done so.

Cleese is a relic of a better age when you really could speak your mind in the UK. So long as you DON’T MENTION THE WAR. (Fawlty Towers reference)
