?‼?? UK: At last someone asked Theresa May the right questions on freedom of speech in the British Parliament. pic.twitter.com/GFFl88PM0w
— Onlinemagazin (@OnlineMagazin) May 19, 2018
Challenged in Parliament about why criticism of Christianity is taken for granted while criticism of Islam embroils one in societal (and legal) difficulties, British Prime Minister Theresa May answered:
We value freedom of expression and freedom of speech in this country. That is absolutely essential in underpinning our democracy. But we also value tolerance to others. We also value tolerance in relation to religions. This is one of the issues that we’ve looked at in the counter-extremism strategy that the government has produced. I think we need to ensure that, yes, it is right that people can have that freedom of expression. But in doing so, that right has a responsibility, too. And that is a responsibility to recognize the importance of tolerance to others.
This heralds the end of the freedom of speech in Britain, for May’s statement is flatly self-contradictory. Who will decide whether one’s criticism of Islam has shaded over into becoming “intolerant”? Presumably the police or some governing authorities. But the freedom of speech is designed precisely to protect people from being prosecuted or persecuted by the governing authorities because their speech dissents from the accepted line. It was developed as a safeguard against tyranny.
By introducing this massive exception, May is turning the freedom of speech on its head and emptying it of all meaning. She is also implying that the British government will now be bringing the full force of the law against those who are deemed intolerant, and indeed, that has already begun.
St. Manuel II Palailogos says
Here lies … United Kingdom
Rest in Peace.
Ritch says
If she thinks ‘tolerance’ of ‘other religions’ is so important then WHEN is she going to have mosques and madrassas that preach the violent and hate-filled doctrines of the quran?
Ray Jarman says
Ritch, When one has a death wish, he or she cannot differentiate between good and evil. She and the British ruling class seem to have a death wish or maybe they are so insulated by their power and wealth, they have become completely myopic. I wonder if the Magna Carta is ever mentioned in the British educational system because here in America it has been replaced with the teachings of Mao and Muhammad.
Jak says
When we SEE her dumb whitebread ass prosecute one (even one)muslim for yelling death to the Jews then we may believe there is a chance Britain will survive, Otherwise theyjust have a ringside seat in watching the slide to the bottom
Julea Bacall says
Thats what I demand.
WESTPAC Spy says
Muslim prayer leaders get to say it. It’s only hate speech if you or I quote them. Ask Mark Steyn.
I highly recommend everyone read Vaclav Havel’s essay about communist Czechoslovakia, “The Power of the Powerless,” to get insight into how Theresa May and her fellow travelers think, if you can call it thinking. Actually, Havel rightly perceived that the key to understanding them is that they refuse to think.

“…If I refer to it henceforth as a “post-totalitarian” system, I am fully aware that this is perhaps not the most precise term, but I am unable to think of a better one. I do not wish to imply by the prefix “post” that the system is no longer totalitarian; on the contrary, I mean that it is totalitarian in a way fundamentally different from classical dictatorships, different from totalitarianism as we usually understand it.
. . . .
{4}The manager of a fruit-and-vegetable shop places in his window, among the onions and carrots, the slogan: “Workers of the world, unite!” Why does he do it? What is he trying to communicate to the world? Is he genuinely enthusiastic about the idea of unity among the workers of the world? Is his enthusiasm so great that he feels an irrepressible impulse to acquaint the public with his ideals? Has he really given more than a moment’s thought to how such a unification might occur and what it would mean?
{5}I think it can safely be assumed that the overwhelming majority of shopkeepers never think about the slogans they put in their windows, nor do they use them to express their real opinions. That poster was delivered to our greengrocer from the enterprise headquarters along with the onions and carrots. He put them all into the window simply because it has been done that way for years, because everyone does it, and because that is the way it has to be. If he were to refuse, there could be trouble. He could be reproached for not having the proper decoration in his window; someone might even accuse him of disloyalty. He does it because these things must be done if one is to get along in life. It is one of the thousands of details that guarantee him a relatively tranquil life “in harmony with society,” as they say.
{6}Obviously the greengrocer . . . does not put the slogan in his window from any personal desire to acquaint the public with the ideal it expresses. This, of course, does not mean that his action has no motive or significance at all, or that the slogan communicates nothing to anyone. The slogan is really a sign, and as such it contains a subliminal but very definite message. Verbally, it might be expressed this way: “I, the greengrocer XY, live here and I know what I must do. I behave in the manner expected of me. I can be depended upon and am beyond reproach. I am obedient and therefore I have the right to be left in peace.” This message, of course, has an addressee: it is directed above, to the greengrocer’s superior, and at the same time it is a shield that protects the greengrocer from potential informers. The slogan’s real meaning, therefore, is rooted firmly in the greengrocer’s existence. It reflects his vital interests. But what are those vital interests?
{7}Let us take note: if the greengrocer had been instructed to display the slogan “I am afraid and therefore unquestioningly obedient;’ he would not be nearly as indifferent to its semantics, even though the statement would reflect the truth. The greengrocer would be embarrassed and ashamed to put such an unequivocal statement of his own degradation in the shop window, and quite naturally so, for he is a human being and thus has a sense of his own dignity. To overcome this complication, his expression of loyalty must take the form of a sign which, at least on its textual surface, indicates a level of disinterested conviction. It must allow the greengrocer to say, “What’s wrong with the workers of the world uniting?” Thus the sign helps the greengrocer to conceal from himself the low foundations of his obedience, at the same time concealing the low foundations of power. It hides them behind the facade of something high. And that something is ideology…”
In the not too distant past one way to refer to the subjects of communist dictatorships was “state slave.” Naturally, the state slaves didn’t refer to themselves that way, but they all knew it. The mindset of a dhimmi is the same. But Theresa May and her ilk can’t just come out and say that, can they? So rather than say straight out, “I am afraid and will obey so please don’t hurt me” they wrap up their submission in words like tolerance or respect. That makes their surrender sound more high minded.
melek-ric says
Tolerance that isn’t reciprocated is merely submission.
asma bint marwan says
Great words.
CogitoErgoSum says
Islam means submission. In English the name of the religion should be “Submission.” Perhaps we should start calling it by its name in English.
Yokel says
And here is how the government is going to enforce its “voluntary” “balanced” tolerance:
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/21/ten_social_networks_ignored_uk_government_consultations/
Only 4 social networks turned up to “agree” to a “voluntary” code of practice, so minister gets his big stick out.
Ray Jarman says
CogitoErgoSum, I have refused to use either the word (this time only) muslim or islam and have used the word cult because it is not a religion but in the future I will use the word submission. Thanks
Julea Bacall says

BC says
Perhaps Ms May could explain to the Muslim community who have show themselves to be extremely intolerant of other faiths and of the British way of life and values that May claims to protect, that tolerance works two ways, The Muslims have to tolerate our way of life. They in fact practice isolationism and teach their children in special school not to integrate or be friends with non Muslims, whom they regard as unclean and sinful. It behoves the Muslim community who are after all strangers in our midst and uninvited strangers at that, that the onus to become [art of the wider community is entirely on them

Thank God America has President Trump. a brave man fighting for his people that know that it is not a religion but an ideology that they hide behind until they grow in number and then use our own democracy to vote the cowards off their benches and out of parliament , and vote their sharia law of each and every land which they have invaded .They brag now that they are now in and on every continent by the millions.I have a neighbor from Iraq, When they were invaded they were forced to wear hyjabs on their heads and because the Muslims ideology is the law of the land. You must do as you are told. Your young Prince assumes the Muslims are assimilating. They are baby making , remember 5 to 1 to vote all you Christians gone, Britain should be glad the youngest Prince and his new bride who hates our Trump are not ruling Britain. They are however supporting of course the Muslims right to live their Sharia law.,( this is dangerous) This is where the Prince and his bride will do Britain under also because they follow the New World Order,which is not about peace or freedom. It is about control. You see in their ideology of the NWO . there can be no one great nation. The point being though is that all Christian nations must be dissolved. .That means Britain and the United States of America.The great ones must fall. Thank God your younger Prince will never be King.or good by GREAT Britain!

All JIHAD is a form of AGGRESSION.

There are some FOUR THOUSAND AND TWO HUNDRED different religions … The British PM is asking us to TOLERATE all religions EXCEPT FOR CHRISTIANITY.
Clearly, inconsistent.
Julea Bacall says
please do not forget Judaism or Buddhism plus ALL the rest.

Any time there is a “but” placed in a sentence covering free speech then there is no longer free speech.

Not the PC here in Canada it is the Liberals Justin Trudeau has been OBSESSED with Islam from the day he some how managed to convince enough people to vote his useless hide into power and now being backed by our NDP.Our PC Party seem to be the ONLY Party who cares about the COuntry and the people.
Shirley says
When the average person around the world, finally realises that by ”CHRISTIAN” they mean YOU and ME, then maybe the world will realise the truth. Most people who aren’t religious, think that it doesn’t apply to them, they aren’t religious, so they can ignore it all and hope they leave them alone in this ”religious” fight.. Hopefully, they will wake up before it’s too late, but somehow I doubt it. We are ALL Christian to moslems.
J D S says
Obummer said America was no longer a Christian nation.
Well are we or aren’t we a Christian nation…???
Muslims want it to be an Islamic nation. Is that ok?
Be honest ….are we willing to fight for America?
If you were ask by a Muslim, wielding a sword, this question. are you Christian and you were, How would you answer?
gravenimage says
True–Muslims consider all Westerners to be Christian, whether they are or not.
Julea Bacall says
If it is used consistently it could be good. No reading the Qur’anic passages that are antiSemitic or intolerance to ‘others’. I would love to see her start this.If all intolerance and hatred is banned from the Qur’an in UK….what would happened. I want it. Same with Hitler’s nazitalk rot. She cannot say its ok for one but the rest.
We do know the difference between snark and truth and can prove it.
Cicero says
Britain is almost overcome by the Sharia maws on Islam.
Just reading excerpts of her speech quoted here shows a weak and doubled sided response to the pertinent question of free speech in the U.K.
Yes she values free speech but at the same tim3 if that free speech offends people from a particular community ( they only have to say their feelings are hurt or they feel offended) and the unfortunate infidel will be visited the the Dhimmified British Police and then prosecuted.
However free speech is tolerated from that same religious community when they call fro Sharia law and the superiority of their barbaric political ideology masquerading as spiritual beliefs over other communities’ beliefs.
Norger says
Yes. Muslims successfully oppose criticism of Islam by leading with their glass chins— “how dare you offend me so”— and the Theresa Mays of our political class just cave in to the blasphemy laws of a 7th century death cult.
Clive Stephen Delmonte says
So right, Norger ! But what’s to be done ?
Julea Bacall says
make her follow her rules against the Qur’an.
Mark Swan says
Absolutely Julea Bacall—One law for everyone, no exceptions—no arbitrary rules.
boakai ngombu says
“O LORD, shouldn’t I hate those who hate You and be disgusted with those who attack You? / I hate them with a perfect hatred, they have become my enemies….” (Ps139vv21,22//Beck)
SAE says
The Religion of Peace…& TOLERANCE:
Quran (2:191-193) – “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]…and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.
Julea Bacall says
So have May follow up on her rules with all those kind of passages. Voices cannot be afraid to let her know in some intelligent way. Give the petition started in France against this kind of Qur’anc talk.
J D S says
Obummer said America was no longer a Christian nation.
Well are we or aren’t we a Christian nation…???
Muslims want it to be an Islamic nation. Is that ok?
Be honest ….are we willing to fight for America?
If you were ask by a Muslim, wielding a sword, this question. are you Christian and you were, How would you answer?
Julius Legatus says
This is all in preparation of bringing in a Moslem PM named Javid, currently Home Secretary.There is a plot according to Tory Insiders to garner Mosem votes and keep the Tories in power. The Moslem vote now decides who is to govern UK. This has all been planned. If it is not the Tories then we get Corbyn and Sadiq Khan. The Moslems have done a splendid job of classic infiltration. The UK is finished.
Terry Gain says
Yes. The alternative to May is clearly worse. But the UK may have go clearly worse before it gets better. Clearly May is not the solution to the conquest in progress.
Anne Smith says
I do not think any alternative to Theresa May in the Tory Party could be worse than her.
She has led her party and the country to utter confusion and the resulting mess from her former tenure at the Home Office is now coming to light. Amber Rudd took the rap but the real fault lies with May and her complete incompetence in every aspect of government. As Prime Minister she is proving to be worse than useless. Unfortunately, together with her inability to distinguish any policy that might be to the benefit of the country, she embraces an unthinking regard for Islam and stupidly believes in moral equivalence of all religions. Just where this is leading us is becoming painfully obvious.
Julea Bacall says
just make May follow up on the Qur’anic passages that are anti-Semitic and orders to kill all ‘others who refuse Mohammed as a prophet. Give her the petition started in France to amend the Qur’an. Really, if sh orders it based on what she has said, that would take care of so much. Maybe they would even move out.

Mira S. Ghoshal says
The UK is committing a slow suicide one day at a time. By not treating all citizens equally, and effectively bending over backwards to protect criminals who are Muslims, the British people are losing confidence in their justice system. Civilization is a silent agreement that we make to each other everyday of our lives as we live in free societies. Once that societal agreement is broken any society can go back to a state of fear and despair that ultimately leads to violence and all out civil war.
SAE says
Muslims can not live in a civilized society. The two are incompatible.
Karen says
“By not treating all citizens equally,….”
Yes, exactly right, this is the heart of the problem.
CogitoErgoSum says
What about tolerance for freedom of speech? What about being tolerant when someone says something with which you disagree? Dragging someone off to jail for speaking in public is being intolerant of him/her and showing you can’t stand hearing what’s being said. What she is saying is in full support of intolerance. Well, let’s do as she wants. Somebody put a gag on her and throw her in jail.
SAE says
I’m with you, Cogito. Throw Theresa May in jail. She may not pass Go nor collect $200. So weird, she makes all the rules but none of them affect her, yet. That needs to change. Let’s all play this game of Intolerance…and by the same rules. So, I find those devious head bag coverings offensive. Even more offensive are all those smelly asses up in the air. It sickens me. Where’s MY redress?
Karen says
“What about tolerance for freedom of speech? What about being tolerant when someone says something with which you disagree?”
Beautifully said. Being “tolerant” of people with whom you agree, or who never offend you isn’t much of a feat, is it?
Norger says
Allen West says “one-sided tolerance is cultural suicide.” There is no virtue in “tolerating” religious fascism.

2) defending oneself against the rabid Islamic protected class

I was wondering which MP asked the question.
What sort of a person is this Charles Walker?
And… did you communicate with him, to thank him for at least having the guts to *ask*?
Jaladhi says
Theresa May wants to tolerate murder in order not to offend the murderer! Truth be damned – whats a little lie here or there leading to a a big lie!! 1984 is back!!
SAE says
“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible because there will be no words in which to express it.” 1984. “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” 1984 “To die hating them, that was freedom.” 1984.
somehistory says
What she’s saying is: Cities have two-way and one-way streets.
moslims will be allowed to use any streets to get to their goal….taking over the country and the world.
All other citizens will only be allowed to use the one-way street where saying anything negative against islam is not permitted. Go the “wrong way” on the one-way street and be arrested, fined and jailed.
And only if one slanders Christians, Jews, or others, will one be allowed to use the two-way street.
The quote from the woman is not really explanatory as to “why” Christians can be slandered by anyone, but moslims are not to be talked about…except to lie and say they are a ‘benefit,’ ‘peaceful,’ etc., etc.
She is enforcing “tolerance” of evil while criminalizing truthful speech.
underbed cat says
Hopefully the next request by Imams for permission to have an al Quds parade in London will be refused, denied for the hate speech that it is, which calls for hate for Jews and refuses Israel it’s rightful Jerusalem. She should ban the calls to prayer if she bans the ringing of church bells. I guess the hidden desire to take over the E.U. by using terror and deception has not become apparent to her or she realizes that the high numbers of jihadist really are not peaceful and her country is at risk should a word offend the pious.

Indeed. That filthy mayor of London will be parade leader and maybe they’ll recruit the new duchess of Sussex

Dear Theresa May,
Do the “others” value tolerance of the English, Scottish, Welsh and (northern) Irish?
You may find that some (predominantly Muslim) don’t.
Aren’t you in a pickle, then?
To paraphrase Thomas Mann, it is a crime to tolerate evil, which, in your country’s case is Islam.
Sooner or later, the U.S. will have to end the so-called and increasingly doubtful “Special Relationship” and impose visa restrictions on the “British.”
Cheerio.
Terry Gain says
If you read President Trump’ s Ramadan message you may conclude that it is more likely that the clueless British position on Islam may be accepted in the United States. I support President Trump but the United States will also be conquered by Islam if it does not elect a President as well versed in Islam as Jefferson and Adams.
gravenimage says
Luckily, President Trump is quite solidly anti-Jihad, which is a very good thing. Like so many, though, I think he knows next to nothing about Islam itself.
TKF says
Where the US leads, Britain and the rest of the Euro-Peons will follow. Lacking a backbone of their own they will ultimately be obliged to use the our’s, as per usual.

Anybody would think, from your post, that America is free of this type of shit. Wake up! Look at the double standards already in place in your country. Look at the actions of CAIR, SPLC et al. You are in exactly the same position, the only difference being that you still have your guns.

We are not as far down this road as much of Europe–but this is still definitely a problem here in the US. We can’t be too cocky.
gravenimage says
Our having a codified First Amendment does help quite a bit–but it is not an absolute safeguard.
Benedict says
Muslims ultimate idea of free speech is the mind-numbing recitations of the Koran and ditto calls to prayer from megaphones reaching into every nook and cranny of a society five times a day.
If that’s the same “free speech” Theresa May “value and tolerate” she should be mercilessly castigated and ridiculed out of office by people who understand how to exercise their free speech in public forums.
Walter Sieruk says
Theresa may by her statement which are employ words of no worth when not uses in wisdom. In which she spoke that “We value free speech… we also value tolerance to others …” Then she further talked about “responsibility to recognize the importance of tolerance to others.” She didn’t say anything about the responsibility of the imams in England who in the mosques get the people so worked up into the mindset of jihad murderous violence then they literally become dangerous to self and others.by commit deadly Islamic terror attacks.
That prime minster of England, Theresa May, had made public statements about those violent and vicious terrorist attacks on London Bridge and nearby Borough Market. She has declared this heinous religious terror attack as the outcome of “an ideology that is a perversion of Islam,” That statement shows that she didn’t do her homework. For those jihadist Muslims were putting in the practice the instruction of real, actual, non-watered down hard core Islam. As the Quran in, for example, Surah 9:123 instructs “O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you…” Running over non-Muslims with a van and then stabbing them is a very effective way of showing people who are not Muslims harshness. Also Surah 9:111 teaches “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed…” The whole foundation for the ideology of Islamic terrorism is the theology of the Quran. As seen in those two, just sited, verses from the Quran and other verses well, such as, Surah 4:89. 5:33 47:4. Teresa May also denounced “Extremism.” This type of “Extremism” is based on the Quran.
Walter Sieruk says
On the topic of tolerance . How about those jihad minded -Muslims who are extremely intolerant of other people who are not Muslims to the malicious degree that they go out the murderous people who are non-Muslim in Islamic terror attacks. Theresa May said nothing about them. Does she want the British people to be tolerant those Muslims who are totally intolerant in non-Muslims and then try to murder them ?
What kind of madness is this ?
WildWelshWoman says
It’s impossible to have tolerance AND free speech when the very people who want to shut down free speech are the noisiest.
It’s either one or the other and it looks like free speech lost.
Cheer Bear Girl says
Theresa May might as well have said she has surrendered the UK to Islam.
Terry Gain says
I would love to have the opportunity to ask submissive Ms May why we should tolerate an intolerant, violent and totalitarian ideology of conquest that claims to be a religion.
Michael Warden says
Yet another : ” I believe in Freedom of Speech BUT ….”
Ren says
It would be impossible to value freedom of speech and “tolerance in relation to religions” at the same time because some religion, islam in particular, does not tolerate to being criticized. So to value freedom of speech and tolerating islam would be a contradiction in itself.
Linda says
She just seems to be saying, “Freedom of speech is an ideal goal, but we’re so afraid of Muslims, we have to curtail it so that the Muslims don’t come after us politicians.”
Mark Swan says
Absolutely Linda.
rubiconcrest says
The ones who threaten other’s speech should be the one serving time in jail, fines and account suspensions.
Wellington says
Pathetic. Theresa May’s “response” was something even Orwell would have been hard pressed to come up with.
Freedom is dying in the UK, courtesy of two groups way above any others: 1) non-Muslim apologists for Islam; and 2) Muslim apologists for Islam.
May is wretched, an appalling excuse for a PM (ditto for the Queen, someone I used to respect but no longer because she has been monarch while her nation has gone from a free country to an essentially unfree polity and she has said nothing about this). Sharia May represents the antithesis of what people like Winston Churchill and Thomas Jefferson represented respecting liberty. This should be obvious to all but the obtuse, the ignorant and the malevolent. Unfortunately, there are a shitload of obtuse, ignorant and malevolent people out there. May belongs with this shitload. Easily so.
TKF says
A collection of ideas is not a person and is therefore open to the full weight of analysis and criticism, even if it hair-lips every Muslim on the freaking planet. The spineless Brits and the culturally suicidal Euro-peons will find out too late, that once you lose the freedom of speech, all other freedoms will inevitably follow.
traci94 says
May STILL didn’t answer the question of WHY is it OK to criticize Christianity and not Islam? I don’t agree with this at all, BUT if it is going to be applied in Britain, then at the very least, apply it across the board equally.
Wellington says
Seconded but, of course, all religions are equal but one religion, Islam by name, is more equal than others.
Damn, I do wish a British Prime Minister would say this but, yes, I know I’m dreamin’. Still, once in a while a dream comes true.
traci94 says
PS…actually, May needs to tell all of these whiny babies to grow a pair!! And, to me, it just says something about the Islamic faith that adherents to the faith absolutely can not handle criticism of any kind – it demonstrates just a lack of maturity and a real insecurity or something. I’m not sure of the word I’m looking for, but maybe arrogance. You just can not go around everywhere demanding that others respect your sensitivities while totally disregarding and disrespecting everyone else.
Green Infidel says
She never answers. She just waffles.
Wellington says
Indeed. This is because May is a waffler, par excellence. I wonder how she sleeps at night. Oh wait, it’s due to “superb waffling,” which relieves a person of any true personal responsibility.
My God, what a wretched excuse for a Prime Minister she is, very much like Obama was a wretched excuse for a President, ditto for the current pontifex maximus and the PM of Canada (among so many other rubes).
But Trump is the real problem. Right.
David M says
Because the polticians know if you criticise Islam there will be a violent backlash. When an Australian politician Pauline Hanson wore a burqa into Parliament as protest to them being worn, a leftist Green politician Sarah Hanson-Young said “don’t do that, the Muslims will riot if you make them angry.”
Karen says
May says: (paraphrase), “We value freedom of speech but we also value tolerance”.
Yes, most of us do. We also live in a world of dualities, ironies, and contradictions. Many worthy ideas will be in a constant state of tension. But, if some topics are off the table for discussion, then the freedom of speech has died; you have something else, but it is not free speech. It might be largely free, somewhat free, kind of free, freer than China, but it is not free speech. And the restrictions won’t stop with religion. By elevating tolerance above freedom, we lose our freedom. But this shouldn’t be very surprising.
In the West, when these two values collide, and our personal values are insulted, most of us grit our teeth, grin and bear it, walk away, write angry letters and get into heated debates, change the channel, stay polite, and keep trying to be decent. But we’ve always had a special reverence for freedom of speech, which is the basis of all of our other liberties. This would be my suggestion to anyone who feels offended by another’s speech; move on, and preserve your own freedom by allowing other’s their freedom.
Kasch mir says
May’s “tolerance to others” is simply code word for submission to islam and mahometan blackmail.
Lydia Church says
1. She did not answer the question. That just provided the premise for the question he was asking.
2. If she seriously meant that in any sensible way, then she would ban insults to Christianity and allow criticism of islam as that is the religion that is intolerant, and follow that up legally.
3. Obviously the opposite was meant, which I said they are aiming for, as that is their true meaning of ‘counter-terrorism,’ believe it or not.
R Russell says
She’s a Globalist and the Globalists think they are using Islam to subdue nations for them the Globalists to overthrow Islam and take control.
Why else would she betray the church she is supposed to be a member of?
David M says
Not to overthrow Islam, to overthrow modern free societies & nation states.

I don’t think May wants to overthrow Islam.
Chavez says
Is the answer not simple? Should someone not create a religion which is to the letter exactly the same as Islam, except for every mention on ‘Jews’ or ‘idolators’ or ‘polytheists’ or Kuffar as mentioned in the Quran, you’d replace with Muslims…
Would it be allowed to be practiced? And if not, shouldn’t Islam also be disallowed?
Georg says
An objective demonstration of the double-standard made for Muslims and Islam is that if one were to take the Koran and substitute the word “Muslim” for “Jew” or “infidel” or “polytheist” it’d be labeled hate, or in this case “intolerant;” and to make it worse, the reason this is so is not because it is logically sound, but because of the threat of Islamic violence should we have an open discourse–as is our longstanding vital tradition. Therefore, we lose our freedoms due to violent threats from this imported archaeofascism. Islam shows itself to be manifestly incompatible with our most basic traditions and infiltrates using our freedoms against us by claiming religion for its militant ideology.

It is Islam that makes the crime of hate speech that should be outlawed. Us telling them to Stop their abuse/condemnation of others is not the crime. There IS hate speech and Islam is pure hate speech. Same with Klan or Supremacists of every kind.
Julea Bacall says
Islam commits hate speech every time the Qur’an is read. Talk about ending hate speech means ending anyone making sermons out of the Qur’an/Hadiths. I read it and its hateful and bigoted. (and al Azhar refuses to fix it and Iran would never either. No one will fix Islam so it will have to end)
Matthieu Baudin says
Freedom of speech is a privilege denied to those who don’t belong to the much trumpeted categories of ‘oppressed’ social and cultural identities. This is not only the death of free speech in Britain, it is also the adoption of a new and fashionable type of social apartheid – inequality before the law based on cultural group affiliation. The Conservative and Labour Parties have now effectively merged around what they perceive to be the imperative of establishing a new censorship to meet the needs of the times.
Scott says
And Ms. May wants to know why Americans will never give up their Second Amendment rights!
Well, now she should know.
Julea Bacall says
I do not think this has to do with ‘freedom of speech’ at all but the Bigotry and acting on it of Islam, Klan, Nazigroups any kind of Supremacists who want to beat down the other guys. The thing May and too many leaders of free countries do not know is how Bigoted, Abusive, Supremacist and active to get rid of the ‘other’ Islam is. Somehow. they have to be shown, because no one on left or democratic right could allow what Islam calls for. No one but a Warlord Dictator manipulating his army into thinking ALLAH SAID and they will get GREAT APPLAUSE.
Julea Bacall says
Would you sign a petition for France NOT to allow the rapper Madine, to perform at BATACLAN soon. He raps about everyone coming to Muslim Jihad over secular govs and Unbelievers. His picture is put up holding the sword. When you find out the words to his raps, its violent, inciting hate and giving praise to Islam.
Some people are saying ‘Artists get Free Expression and speech” Others find it as insulting as when Islam wanted a Mosque or Center at the site of 9/11. A Muslim Jihad rapper at the Bataclan in France!! Would you say ‘free speech’ for him. NO NO NO. And not in US either. Some speech has to have Borders or real freedom is destroyed by those who abuse it. NO ONE should allow Madine to rap Islam, hate, intolerance and Jihad in France. That is abuse of Free speech. Free speech does not mean everything under the sun is OK. There are borders.

Dear Hector Archytas,
We rejected the petition you created – “Forbid all religions motivating murders as a retaliation.”.
It’s offensive, nonsense, a joke, or an advert.
We can’t accept petitions that are offensive or extreme in their views In any case, murder and encouraging others to commit murder are already illegal. We’re therefore not sure what further action you want the Government or Parliament to take.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards:

I think Western governments and their leaders are so scared, because they know how many people are fed up with this all and not everybody can ventilate their thoughts, but there are so many of them, that is why May and others have started to oppress people, by total dictatorial behaviour. Because if something really happens, they will be held responsible by one or the other, and they will choose for the so called group with the biggest mouth and violent solutions, both the left and the muslims want to get rid of us, and every party hopes that the other will do that, so the governments can wash their hands in innocence.
Pilatus times.
History repeats itself, always, but in more modern forms. People don’t learn. All Western governments played the role of Pilatus, so did the Pope, and then they took on the role of Judas, the muslims are the Romans, you will see the big play unfolding.
A world play in this century, the biggest!
Keep your faith in God, the solution will come and you will be surprised, so will the other players, and truth will prevail, God is the only truth , and every drop of lies will become transparent, from all of us.
It is what it is.

Is allah in the koran tolerant?
No
allah CURSES the Jews and the Christians {koran 9:30}
allah insults all Jews[and unwittingly,all Biblical =Jewish prophets} “apes to be despised and hated”{k2 v65}
allah ridicules,denies and dismisses Jesus Christ’s death(but of course Jesus was a Jew){koran 4:157}
allah thinks we should not all get along{unlike God:see the 2nd chief commandment…missing,of course,in islam.like the 1st chief one…..}
“Oh ye who believe!Take not the Jews and Christians for friends”
koran 5 v 51
So WHY oh why can’t we all get along?Muslims,Jews and Christians?
Because allah says we can’t!
You see that?No pesky “Love thy neighbor” for allah!
One might get the impression that allah and mo don’t like Jews or Christians.or GOD… with those awkward commandments that allah tells muslims in his koran thay they are allowed to break.
Is the self-appointed “prophet” of islam,muhammad,tolerant?
No.
mass murderer of Jews {Abu dawud 4390}
Proud owner and seller of black folk into slavery(2 sold for the price of one!..){sahih muslim 3901}
committed polygamist,serial adulterer {bukhari 5:268}with a child “wife”
murdered prisoners of war ibn ishaq 451
a racist,psycopathic, bigot who completely missed the bit about actually OBEYING ANY of God’s commandments.
…and apparently you can’t draw cartoons of this incredibly “perfect”,holy man….it might cause offense..
{And WHAT about the offense to God caused by muhammed’s mass-murdering,immoral life of unbridled sinfulness??}
muhammed,too curses the Jews and the Christians(suspiciously like allah’s curse…)Sahih Muslim 1082}
But then it is hard to take a man seriously who admits to being..
1A terrorist
“I have been made victorious through TERROR”
bukhari 4:52:220
AND
2 A complete fraud who made up stuff AGAINST GOD.
“I have fabricated things AGAINST GOD and have imputed to him words he has NOT SPOKEN”
al tabari 6:111
That would be the commandment-of-God violating “holy” koran then…..and islam.”the religion of peace”
islam’s version of the Angel Gabriel?
Yep:he’s somewhat intolerant too..
“Jibreel is the enemy of the Jews”
al bukhari 4:60:3329
one might get the impression that allah-mo-jibreel don’t like the Jews…which is LUDICROUS because in the Biblical narrative..
1All of God’s True prophets from Moses to Jesus are ….JEWISH
2 according to Jesus Christ( “we Jews” )
“We Jews know who we worship..because it is FROM THE JEWS that salvation comes”
John 4 v 22
so clearly, the Actual God has a purpose for the Jews:but try explaining that to allah and his muslims!
allah,his “prophet” mo,libreel the anti-Semitic angel of islam….apparently don’t get that.
Besides,allah’s cusing of the Jews AND the Christians shows allah to be an extremely bigoted,hate-filled caricature of the actual God{The God of Moses,of Abraham,of Jesus Christ etc}apart from being violent,theologically incompetent{….Christians are NOT polytheists allah which you would know if you knew what God’s Holy Spirit was wouldn’t you?..}and extremely misogynistic.
Judaism and Christianity both have the 2 chief commandments.They are in the same Biblical Fold.
Since allah curses the Jews AND the Christians,islam is NOT in the same Biblical fold:especially nthat the anti-Semitic allah is clearly NOT the God of Moses
islam does not have the 2 chief commandments.It seems alalh missed them completely and so,muslims believe that allah allows them to hate..
allah’s anti-Semitic nature is absolutely absurd because God cannot have an anti-Semitic nature.
Laura says
I don’t value tolerance of the intolerant, and neither does anyone else I know. It seems that only craven elites are tolerant of those who would take over our country given half a chance. Surely the time has come when religions are stripped of the ‘respect’ that they do not deserve and laid bare to show them for the scams that they are. But, western governments are shit scared of muslims, every time muslims push, the elites step back, instead of standing firm and saying NO.The majority are being subdued by a minority, if we don’t stop them now, it will be impossible in 50 years time.
Paul Freeman says
Criticism of something is by its very nature intolerant. You are saying you don’t like it. That’s how they get you.
A religion is just a bunch of ideas claiming divine foundation. But where is the divinity in Islam? Where is the love for humanity fostered by the experience of the divine?
Islam is not a religion. It is just a bunch of ideas, some of which are very bad indeed. It is the worst possible betrayal of our civilizational heritage that we privilege them.
FYI says
{God’s tolerance} versus {allah’s intolerance}
————————————————————
If someone said to you that the Actual God {of Moses} didn’t like,say,the Chinese people,you would most likely laugh at the absurdity of that.Given there are billions of Chinese people in the world, what sense would that make?None.Anyhow,you cannot have a God who is racist,since He made ALL peoples.
If someone said that allah didn’t like,say,the Jews………you should most likely laugh at the absurdity of that……you would have an anti-Semitic ,bigot of a god.what sense would that make?None.
You cannot have an anti-Semitic God…..
….except….except…..allah most definitely is.
We see allah in his koran is violently anti-Jewish calling the Jews “apes,to be despised and hated” k2 v 65
allah does not like Jews.Period.
So we have on one hand,the Judeo-Christian God{of the Bible,of both Judaism AND Christianity,of the 2 chief commandments which show God to be a God of LOVE}who reigns over all people and all races.Creator of the Universe.
And then we have on the other hand,allah….who CURSES the Jews and the Christians,preaches hatred for non-muslims{Remember there are no 2 chief commandments in islam}.
So on one hand we have, God who created the Universe{if you are Jewish or Christian}and is a good God who reveals himself via the 2 chief commandments,to be all about LOVE.And ALL His Biblical prophets are Jewish.
on the other hand,if you think allah is god,you have an anti-Semitic bigot who curses Jews and Christians.preaches HATE…with his psycopathic mass murdering “prophet” muhammed,the “perfect” man:Yes,that makes sense doesn’t it?

Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil. – Thomas Mann
patriotliz says
Great quote! I think Theresa May puts too much emphasis on “tolerance” of a faux “religion” that is intrinsically intolerant to all others. She can’t discriminate between good and evil. Maybe all that Hitler had to do to conquer Europe was to declare his Nazism a “religion.”
This is why Europe is dying…Death by Multicultural Tolerance coupled with the lack of pride in your own culture, heritage and struggles for freedom.
Norger says

Jedothek says
Robert calls May’s words self-contradictory. That is possible. For my part, I can only say that they are dangerously vague.
She says that free speech carries with it responsibility. That is true: that is why there are laws against libel. But the enemies of free speech have no confidence that they could stamp out criticism of Islam with libel suits; they would rather wield the duller bludgeon of state censorship. Would any lawyers care to comment?

“we also value tolerance to others”
I believe what she means is that she values intolerance of the tolerant. If we weren’t all so tolerant, in other words, we wouldn’t have all this intolerance around us, so we shouldn’t be so tolerant. Doublespeak. May is a lot like Merkel.
Hogdude says
Ms. May, let’s assume that I’m a neo-Nazi (I’m not), however, I want to speak anywhere and everywhere in Great Britain encouraging all citizens, especially young people, to adhere to the Nazi philosophy and “throw out” the centuries old Parliament and also the monarchy, to boot. Under your advocated policy, shouldn’t I be allowed to teach and preach to all your people? I thought not.
Norger says
Excellent analogy. The U.K. “tolerates” precisely this kind of speech from one group and only one group.
Richard Courtemanche says
She values more the so-called “tolerance” of others more than free speech. That’s what hypocritical and coward politicians have done.
Badger says
I remember well that question in the House. That bloody woman talks about tolerance but for her it is a one way street. She is telling US we must tolerate the culture of islam but refuses to demand tolerance from muslims.
Is it not understandable that people like myself have become so angry about islam and muslims? When we have an ignoramus of a prime minister who keeps feeding us lies about that satanic religion? She has often declared (on what authority I do not know) that islamic a religion of peace. What utter nonsense. Does she seek advice from the Muslim Brotherhood?*
How much longer does this stupid cow think she can keep this up? We are not fools. We do not rely on the BBC or the Telegraph any more for our news. I see every week, all around the globe, hundreds of people are slaughtered in the name of Allah. (468 killed and maimed last week – see ROP). Very few people believe governments any more, and for this woman practically none.
* yes she does. The Muslim Council of Britain and the Muslim Association of Britain are both linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, a proscribed terrorist organisation in Egypt of all places. These are the people she goes to for ‘expert advice’
Julea Bacall says
She needs to be told that she must ask Muslims to be tolerant and amend the qur’an of its bigotry. But do not use words in public like fat cow, or Satanic, or any other ‘street language’ or its an automatic lose. No one in power will listen. Clean it up, get a copy of the French Petition-in English- and send it to her to sign. She most likely has never read the Qur’an and has no idea what they teach. None at all. Get it all in Clear Clean English and make sure everyone sees it.
loadsman says
As anticipated, the word ‘but’ came along. No good Theresa, no good at all. There is no free speech.

Wayne McMichael says
Governments do not have “Rights”, people do, and NO ONE has the right to silence you… EVER!
Julea Bacall says
Some things really must be silenced like things that are i the Qur’an read at Mosques and bigotry with fighting taught to children against ‘others’ or especially Jews so Islam can be the one and only Supremacist religion by the command of Allah. This stuff really has to silenced because it is NOT THE WORD OF ALLAH even and makes for apartheid, violence, total Intolerance and something that wants to silence and shut down Everything But them. THAT KIND OF STUFF has to be stopped. I do not care if they stop Nazitalk, KKKlan talk, White Supremacists Talk…all bigotry, violence inciting talk, Slanders, libel, (some of our States incredibly ban cursing o the streets) whatever BUT NOT WHAT ROBINSON DID! I guess it was based mainly on his reputation but that should not have happened.. Information (not stupid dirty jokes but Information) about Islam and what the Qur’an/Hadiths SAY has to get out in English & many other languages as Warnings. They can have a religion that says they are related to Abraham & believe in one Allah if they want but they Cannot say NO ONE ELSE WAS, not even Judaism or that NO Other religion is allowed on Earth by word of Allah or that Atheists/Agnostics also must be gotten rid of. They just ca’t be allowed to teach this in USA or any country with multi-religions and Government-Religion SEPARATE.. Governments and May Must tell them to can the Qur’a/Hadiths as they are written! For real. We have to tell them they cannot teach this stuff. They are teaching silence of Everyone but them. May needs it explained to her and Government has to issue a law against it.

It is a progressive fallacy to think that a human being can achieve the ultimate progressive goal of being tolerant. Being tolerant is impossible. May stated that, I paraphrase here, we shouldn’t tolerate intolerance – WHAT! Her statement is against intellectual reason.

Theresa May, there is a limit to what you can tolerate! Do you mean to tolerate the brutal rape of your innocent English girls…tolerate the harsh shariah laws…tolerate the loud prayers to allah from your minarets…tolerate the uncivilized behavior of your migrants? If that’s what you are tolerating, then you will be responsible for the fall of your beautiful country into the hands of the muslim migrants you harbor! You are a Liar when you say that you “value freedom of speech” because you do not! Look at the people you have encarcerated for simply speaking the truth about Islam – for exercising their freedom of speech! Theresa may, the world is watching you! Theresa may, your name will go down in ignominy if you do not set free the people you have encarcerated unjustly, like Tommy Robinson!
