A British teacher’s use of an offensive cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad as part of a lesson sparked an outcry this week, causing protests, the temporary closure of the school and a student petition in the teacher’s defense.
The teacher, who has not been publicly named, was suspended after showing a 9th-grade class a caricature of the Muslim prophet as part of a lesson about blasphemy.

UK “local Islamic leaders” are aggressively trying to subjugate Britain under the hegemony of Sharia. Islamic supremacists frequently resort to veiled threats that are intended to cast fear into disbelievers. Behind this threat that Britain will become “like France” is the Qur’anic directive to “strike the necks” of the unbelievers (47:4), which is exactly what happened to French teacher Samuel Paty and is a characteristic method of execution carried out through the history of Islam. The Qur’an also says:
[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, “I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.” Quran 8:12
Note also how the chairman of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board manipulated the use of the “n-word,” as Jihad Watch discussed HERE. Asim is insulting both blacks and the intelligence of all people when he makes such an outrageous comparison. An intentional disparaging of blacks, strictly related to race, is not in any way comparable to insulting Islam and Muhammad. Not only is Islam not a race, it a religious doctrine/ideology that mandates severe human rights abuses in order to expand its hegemony. Westerners most often display Muhammad cartoons not in order to upset or disparage Muslims, but i) to protect the freedom of speech, which is a fundamental right in free societies; and ii) to shed light upon Islam’s Sharia-based human rights abuses and the violence committed in its name (as illustrated in its 1,400 years of brutal conquest), sending the message that the West will not be intimidated and subjugated under the Sharia.
Christianity is often insulted; no threats of terror, violence and/or beheadings ensue. UK Muslim leaders are serving to demonstrate what normative Islam really is, contrary to ongoing claims that Islam “is a religion of peace.”
It is also ridiculous even to have to mention repeatedly (which I will nevertheless do once again here) that not every Muslim adheres to this supremacist and violent ideology. This should be obvious. Those Muslims who do not follow the violent passages of the Qur’an and Hadiths however, are frequently deemed to be apostates and persecuted as such in Muslim countries.
Now is the chance for the Boris Johnson government to stand up to Islamic intimidation and these veiled threats of jihad terror.
“Muslim Leaders Demand UK Shows ‘Respect’ to Islam or Face Becoming ‘Like France,’” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, March 29, 2021:
Local Islamic leaders in West Yorkshire will send a letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson demanding that Britain show “respect” to Islam or face becoming “like France” following controversy over a teacher showing students a picture of Mohammed.
The imam of the Al-Hikam Institute in Bradford, Adil Shahzad warned that there may be consequences from the Muslim community if action is not taken against the teacher, who has already been suspended and forced into hiding after a local Islamic group shard his identity online.
Local campaigners have been protesting outside the Batley Grammar School, vowing to continue demonstrating until the teacher is fired.
“All we ask for is a bit of respect,” Shahzad told The Times, adding: “If one teacher can do it, another teacher can do it five years down the line, and we do not want this to be the case. Otherwise we are not responsible for the actions of some individuals.”
A Muslim refugee publicly beheaded a French teacher, Samuel Paty, who had shown images if the Islamic prophet during a lesson of freedom of expression.
Shahzad said that if Batley Grammar School doesn’t do the “right thing” then Britain will “likely that we will follow the route that France has taken, for example, or other European countries where firstly it’s ‘let’s insult the prophet’, then we’ll start banning the burqa.”
The imam claimed that local Islamic leaders tried to ease tensions during their Friday sermons in order to make “sure nobody does anything irresponsible, that we don’t spread hatred, that we don’t spread violence, that we do it in a peaceful way, within our democratic right”.
The chairman of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board (MINAB), Imam Qari Asim MBE — who was appointed as the British government’s “Islamophobia advisor” in 2019 — has also suggested that showing images of the Islamic prophet should be as socially taboo as “using the n-word”.
“I guess when we talk of a potential curb or limitation on free speech, I think that sets alarm bells ringing, leaving some people [wrongly] thinking that Muslims are asking for restrictions on free speech,” he told The Telegraph.
“But I think what we should try and emphasise is that there’s already a phenomenon in place in that actually there are boundaries to free speech,” he added, contradictorily.
“Like, for instance, people cannot use the ‘n-word’ – and quite rightly so – because this is derogatory and causes deep pain and hurt.”…..
Alex Lund says
It doesnt matter if GB shows respect (whatever that means for muslims) – in the end GB will be turned into a caliphate.
That is the muslim endgame since centuries – all territory on earth must be muslim controlled. then we will have peace.
(ROFL – the muslim groups of sunnites and shia or whatever they are called kill each other since Mohammeds time and wil do so until the end of time.)
notnolib says
I just love the fact that muslims hate muslims and that their made-up mon-god allahahaha hates muslims.
Allahu’s Snackbar!!!!!! The place for pork!
Raja says
Alex,
It is the devil that is let loose by Islam. They will always be on the judgement seat and continue to kill anyone who is less Muslim.
The gory Islam has no morals, standards except lawlessness.
Eur says
Muslims when they say respect actually mean submission. The same happens with the word religion, for Muslims religion includes politics, religion, way of life, social control … Words are misleading … and Muslims more so.
mortimer says
Agree. Muslims actually mean ‘submission to Sharia blasphemy law’ when they say ‘respect’. But why should I ‘respect’ and submit to Sharia law? I was taught that ‘respect must be earned’.
What should I respect about the Sharia law DEATH SENTENCE for blasphemers? Sharia blasphemy law contradicts modern human rights codes that protect the freedom of speech and our freedom to criticize religions or ideologies without fear.
This mullah has mobilized the CANCELLATION CULTURE to equate Islam (a POLITICAL ideology) with a ‘race’. Islam is NOT a ‘race’ as is Judaism.
The comparison of Islam to a ‘race’ is therefore fallacious. Muslims come in all races of humanity, not in a single race.
About 51% of Islam is a political ideology (such as communism or fascism) and it may definitely be criticized.

“Cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad”
Until politicians and so-called journalists stop regurgitating that nonsense, the problem will continue.
For those who accept that 7th century caravan raider as your Prophet, raise your hands!
mortimer says
Exactly. 80% of people on earth are NOT Muslims and do NOT believe that Mohammed is a valid prophet. They are NOT required to submit to Sharia blasphemy law outside of Muslim countries were it is in their criminal codes.
Criticizing Mohammed or lampooning Mohammed is not a crime where there is freedom of expression protected in the constitution.
It can be argued that Nazism is a religion and a political ideology at the same time. This is similar to Islam. I may criticize Hitler as a religious figure or as a political figure. Either way, anyone today is free to criticize Hitler. We should also be free to criticize Mohammed in the same manner.

Clearly England is not a place for muslims to practice their… “whatever you wanna call”.
They (muslims) should be more intelligent, hey’ll always feel ridiculed, and that’s what their leaders want and have been very successful achieving.
There are a lot of muslims in England and there will be much more since they are huge proliferators.
People are a problem for muslims now however in a generations’ time (25 years, 15 has passed, 10 years left) muslims will be a problem for people.
There is no way, in England, for people to respect the muslim beliefs. People don’t care what others belive. Do you care about what I believe or do I about what do you? WHO CARES ABOUT ME?
We’re a highly advanced society morally who have been throught everything and more, no one can tell us what we can say and what we cannot!
We are like America. We’ve built them!
The religion (Islam) has been the weapon to control the ignorant. Politians do the same. Politics and religion are the same thing in what is regarded to “rule” (lead).
The ignorant muslims who feel insulted by anything that comes out of people’s mouth have their rights to voice themselves however it should stop there (say what you think and that’s it!).
I understand that not all mulims are the same and that only 1% or less are jihadist or extremist, who cares?
One is too many! “If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas”.
A phisical abuse cannot be justified by a verbal abuse.
What is an insult is not be able to insult.
born saturday says
everywhere in europe will become like france sooner or later…. places they have accepted immigrants (cause they havent everywhere everywhere), are even likely to become like african countries at least countries with not strong military… this is the plan of the new world order they are speaking of… first import the terrorists and then take the army on the streets and force massivelly repressive regime in all the west to tackle it… only the repression will be on all of the people not just in the immigrants…. in all the west the leftist and immigrant organisations are exersising their violence and oppression to lead us to this direction…. its a set up….. a lot more happens than that to lead us to the new world order like preparations for world war…. trump was your peace president, whenever will all the people realise this.

Change “terrorists” to Leftists and you’ve defined the Harris/Biden Trojan horse campaign that has resulted in this deceitful administration.

“A person is guilty of blackmail if, with a view to gain for himself or another or with intent to cause loss to another, he makes any unwarranted demand with menaces;”

Michael Copeland says
Imam Shahzad claimed that local Islamic leaders tried to ease tensions during their Friday sermons in order to make “sure nobody does anything irresponsible, that we don’t spread hatred, that we don’t spread violence”.
If they, indeed, did so they were teaching AGAINST Islamic doctrine. The Koran praises as an “excellent pattern” the words of Ibrahim, “between us and you enmity and hatred forever”. Ayatollah Yazdi made clear “Violence is the heart of Islam”.
Alternatively this claim is taqiyya.
Michael Copeland says
There is, of course, no means of verifying this claim because filthy kuffar are NOT PERMITTED in the mosques for the sermons.
PRCS says
Need more “Undercover Mosque”.

Likely this Imam means not that Muslims were taught not to be violent, but to keep an eye out for Infidel “blasphemy”.

infidel says
Like mafia thugs… these are nothing but standard tactics of these Islamic goons.. As a start, ask them to genuinely respect other religions and not preach hatred in their sermons. It cuts both ways
Raja says
Infidel,
With all due respect to you,
“genuinely respecting other religions” are too difficult for all shades of Jihadis (Unfortunately most of Muslims).
For starters, they can respect other humans and still love those who they don’t agree with.Oh, no that is not what the devil teaches.
nameless coward says
‘Now is the chance for the Boris Johnson government to stand up to Islamic intimidation and these veiled threats of jihad terror.’
It is indeed. I’m so glad I didn’t vote for his party.
‘Local campaigners have been protesting outside the Batley Grammar School, vowing to continue demonstrating until the teacher is fired’
Has Tracy Brabin (Labour and Co-operative) Member of Parliament for Batley and Spen said anything regarding this matter?
gravenimage says
Your idea that Labour is prefereable to Conservatives on Jihad is pretty iffy.
Here’s what Tracy Brabin had to say:
“The upset and offence this has caused is understandable but it was also predictable. I am pleased that the school has recognised it was inappropriate and apologised for the offence caused.
“I hope the school and concerned parents can now move forward constructively and focus on their children’s education and overcoming the challenges presented by the pandemic.”
https://inews.co.uk/news/education/teacher-suspended-batley-grammar-school-prophet-mohamed-cartoon-protest-929889
Notice she says *nothing* in defense of freedom of speech–nor in support of this teacher receiving death threats.
nameless coward says
I didn’t vote Labour. I don’t trust Boris Johnson so I “voted” for the none of the above party in December 2019 – and I am NOT an anarchist.
A mob is a mob is a mob is a mob.
I’ve attended anti-Islam demos. Have you?
(I’ve also read the petition. I read the petition but I didn’t sign the petition)
gravenimage says
Yes, I have attended anti-Islam demonstrations here in the States.
Boris Johnson is pretty bad; Jeremy Corbyn would have been even worse.
Infidel says
I agree w/ you: if I dislike both parties in a contest, I don’t vote for either. Particularly if it’s immaterial who comes to power
Like in this case, had Labour won, Brexit would have been reversed, but not much else would have changed, particularly wrt muslim immigration
gravenimage says
Jeremy Corbyn is actively *pro-Jihad*.
john smith says
nameless coward, I agree with you, Boris Johnson’s government has been a bitter disappointment and I did vote for them. It’s not as if we were spoilt for choice. I believe the Labour Party would of been far worse especially with Jeremy corbyn.
There is only one party worth voting for in the next General Elections, and that is For Britain.
gravenimage says
Agreed, John.

I am not a Labour voter. Many people have voted for the Labour Party in the modern era i.e. the internet era. Google was founded in 1998.

Or face the situations like Nigeria, Somalia, Mozambique and so on.

So, muslim “Leaders” are *demanding* that their religious/political ideology – islam – be respected…
Or else!
And I always thought that legitimate respect had to be *earned*.
Sounds like the Mafia…
Raja says
The goons have admitted that France is on fire because of Islam besides hinting that Islam is NOT a “religion” of peace !!!!!
They also have the habit of blurting out truths occasionally. It is the West that chooses to be willfully blind to “noble” Islam.
saturnine says
“If one teacher can do it, another teacher can do it five years down the line, and we do not want this to be the case. Otherwise we are not responsible for the actions of some individuals.”
Yet another banal threat from the Muslim mafia. The implication is that they’ve taken responsiblilty for the actions of “some [Muslim] individuals” in the past, a laughable idea.
