"The Crushing Of Free Speech!" | Isabel Oakeshott Hits Out At 'Blasphemy Law' Fears

Removing gravestones to make a car park for a mosque. Disgusting

[@paulinesmith706]

Absolutely agreed

[@5578pedro]

On both counts it is disgusting.

[@GlasgowsGreenandWhite74]

Scandalous,family’s shouldn’t let it happen

[@leondxut]

In my opinion that is another category and, again, IMHO the removal of gravestones should NOT be done. However, it does happen in places where space is a premium.

[@JoaoSoares-rs6ec]

All mosques usually have a stone set in that says Allah is God and he doesn't have a son. That is blasphemy but they are entitled to their opinion. This thing should work both ways.

[@PaulGlancy-fp7ob]

All these gods and religions, they can't all be correct. Delusional is the word. Have you any idea if the size of the universe? Think of one light mile. You can grasp that, I'm sure. That's the time it takes for you to shine a torch, and it'll take a year for me to see it. Yes, a light year is nothing. Take a billion light years! Square. "God" doesn't exist, and don't come back with prove it, it's you that needs to prove me because you believe and I don't because it's ridiculous to suggest that there is nothing out there but us and a big guy in 3 parts with a big long beard and golden hair and a big cloak. Then, we have the guy called the devil😂. Good and bad. He must look all nasty nasty, Nick, lol. Think of this Santa Christmas guy. One word from Santa is Satan. Santa is Saint, Saint Nicklaus. So there if is. Santa Klaus Old Saint Nick. The presents and gifts are bribes.

" Islamophobia is an invented term , designed to deliberately misidentify criticism of Islam with racism . Islam is not an ethnicity or race , any ethnicity can convert . Islam is a religious and political ideology and , in a free country , no ideology should be above criticism or question . "

[@davidirvine4294]

Well said!

[@Chal-zne184]

Absolutely true.

[@uploadingcontent]

What he said 👆

[@toku_floyd]

A phobia is a fear of something. In context, Islamophobia is a fear of Islam, which is quite correct.

[@phillipclark7861]

Mr Ali seems to want special treatment. That's a double edged sword.

[@UbiquitousRomp]

Until their numbers are big enough, They will seize more power and infiltration by playing the victim to get laws passed that suit them and only them.

[@geraldvelez597]

"Freedom of speech"???? What of the thousands, THOUSANDS, locked in prison for making a comment on an online post or in the street? There is no possible way that a society that allows such practices most certainly can never claim that they have free speech.

[@sparrow_6177]

He needs to start building more prisons because if he lets dangerous prisoners out early, to put anyone with an opinion in prison, he needs to realise, we will all be locked up and safe, yet him and his lot will be living amongst those very villians he let out. Karma will eventually get you Starlin, it always does. This is not without consequence, you are now upsetting people all around the world, not just at home.

[@raynicholl4446]

So if they go against Christianity the same goes,if not,this is discrimination

[@jhutchings7627]

If they are so protective of Islam does this suggest that Islam does not stand up to scrutiny? If this is the case then not allowing scrutiny is a way to stop any curious muslims asking questions about it that might uncover uncomfortable lies/truths. All religions should be able to be discussed thoroughly and openly - WHY NOT?

[@simonepleton765]

We all know the answer to this - I suggest it is because this particular “religion” is oppressive , false and bogus and does not stand up to scrutiny of any kind.

Hatun Tash previously Islamic from Turkey, now a christian, was slashed with a knife in the face at speakers corner, then she was arrested by the police watched by a rejoicing Islamic mob. She has moved thirty times to avoid being murdered by Islam. Why do we put up with this stuff in Britain. Starmer jails people in prison for demonstrating against an Islamic man who murdered three young girls and wounded about nine more. Starmer went out of his way to protect the killer and jail some some of the rioters. One of those who died in prison. This was yet another big mistake by Starmer who appears to want this nation to be Islamic.
