Sharia Watch director and former UKIP candidate Anne Marie Waters has announced today that a forthcoming exhibition of Mohammed cartoons to be shown in London has been cancelled after discussions with counter-terror police.
Writing for Breitbart London, Waters revealed the security services believed the event would be attacked, leading to a “very real possibility that people could be hurt or killed – before, during, and after the event”. The organisers of the event had approached over 200 galleries with requests to host the exhibition and were turned down by almost all of them. After the final gallery, which had initially agreed had a change of heart the Draw Mohammad exhibition was left homeless.
Waters regrets that the lack of a single gallery space in the country willing to stand up for the Mohammed cartoons and the pressure from counter terror police to cancel event confirmed her suspicions that Britain had become a “frightened nation”. Calling for the establishment of a global free-speech movement, Waters remarked “It cannot be a talking shop put together to discuss shouting fire in a crowded theatre, but a tireless campaign to actively defend, by legislation and other means, the right of people to criticise, analyse, reject, satirise, and mock any single set of beliefs which is capable of affecting society as a whole, especially its freedoms”.
“We need an international campaign comprising all who seek free speech protection, particularly from Islam. It needs to work hard and fast to reverse the tide. I will contact every organisation, politician, writer, and advocate for free speech that I can find, and I hope we can take the fight for free expression on to the world stage.
“The aim is a fear-free Mohammed cartoon contest. When we can have that, we will know we are winning”.

Goodbye Britain. In a few years you’ll be removing the cross from your flag and the Queen will have a prayer rug.
Gutless cowards that refuse to fix their muslim problem.
Hold it in a public park in London.

Ah...Yea...when your most of your babies are named after a murderous desert sodomite brigand (and did I mention demon possessed) and when police are not exercising judicial enforcement of thugs bearing that name (or any other Islamic name). By the way, this whole response is racist (the truth).
The message is clear: terrorism works.
Apparently its “taunting”
