Note Tugendhat’s cowardice. Even though the only religion that anyone is demanding be exempt from criticism is Islam, Tugendhat doesn’t dare say that, but retreats into making a generalized statement about all religions. That in itself indicates that he and his government do not have the will to take on the actual problem that confronts them. So while Tugendhat is right that no religion should be exempt from criticism, at the same time he is demonstrating that the British authorities will once again waste time and taxpayer money going after a “far right” threat that they themselves have largely fabricated, while ignoring the jihadist elephant in the room.
“No religion has a ‘right not to be offended’, says security minister,” by Charles Hymas, Telegraph, March 11, 2024:
No religion has a right to be exempt from criticism, the security minister has said ahead of a crackdown on extremism…
Kasahun says
I am glad that things for Islam are going well in Great Britain as the royalty show or reveal their true Muslim face by making their pictures believable by lies, as ladies in mass are converting to be muslims.
Well, remember your British leader is a Muslim.
Mickey Mouse says
This is what you call bunk.
FF says
hmmmm … Rishi Sunak is a Hindu
somehistory says
They know who are the ones guilty of exploding in rage when being criticized…a.k.a. someone telling the Truth about what they believe and to what the belief leads them to do.
So to keep the rage from exploding against them, they drag the innocent in as buffers against the rage, pretending that the innocent are guilty of exploding in rage with violence.
They know the Truth about islam and the violence mozlums perpetrate, just as they know that mozlums are the formers of the rape gangs that have had their evil way with so many young girls in the past fifty plus years. But along with that knowledge is cowardice…or agreement…with what mozlums do.
Either they are afraid of being targeted, or they believe that mozlums should be left alone to do what they do.
This guy seems to be of the fear brigade. They march in public, but take no dangerous action to eliminate the enemy.
Fuzzy says
Islam is not a religion – it is a cult
somehistory says
A cult is a religion. The *leader* of the cult is the one worshipped by the others in the cult. It is a false religion, but it is still a religion because an *entity*…in this case, a human…is worshipped and obeyed by his followers.

By the same line of reasoning, geopolitical ideologies like Communism and Nazism are “religions” as well
somehistory says
Yes, they are. Both of those are religions, they just don’t claim to be so, and most people would not recognize them as religions.
Woody says
I’d say it’s a maffia organisation.
somehistory says
Yes. And in the U.S., would qualify as a violation of the RICO Act if some prosecutor looked at it with courage and upholding the Law.
England Invaded says
Except in the UK muzziness has almost reached that status of being protected.
How many people in hiding for criticising or even raising issues?
How many threats made daily due to these animals being upset.
We have sharia in the UK as well, the list of horrors is endless.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
How is the Security minister different from the Home Secretary? Doesn’t the latter cover internal security of the UK?
MD Anthony says
He’s trying to avoid assassination
tim gallagher says
Yes, that’s the way that things should be, no religion should be exempt from being criticsed. However, the reality is that the UK has let large numbers of Muslims invade the country and these barbaric scum will turn violent and riot and wreck things if there is any criticism of the stinking, totally evil religion of islam and, therefore, the authorities will not be able to cope and so they have to keep caving in to the Muslim scum. Letting Muslims invade is a massive mistake and then all the difficulties of trying to cope with thuggish, barbaric scum, knuckle draggers who do not believe that islam should ever be criticised or they will riot, follow on from allowing that invasion. Idiots who knew absolutely bugger all about islam’s nature let the Muslims invade in huge numbers and now the UK is fighting for survival
Pray Hard says
Typical atheist coward type statement …
Pray Hard says
Go to any atheist website and you can read thousands of equivocal or conflationist comments like this by atheists.
Statler says
If that is so, then why aren’t we allowed to criticize mohamedanism?
Rufolino says
If you think “we aren’t allowed” to criticise Islam now, wait until the new Labour Government “redefines” Islamophobia and makes any negative discussion of Islam illegal..
Mick says
No need for discussion..Enough to report facts on Fulani,, Qataris, Turks, Azeris, Alawites….
somehistory says
And here is welby on the subject
“Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, head of the global Anglican communion, on Wednesday warned that a new definition of extremism set to be unveiled by the UK government risks stoking division.
Welby and his de facto deputy in the Church of England, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell, said in a joint statement on Tuesday that the new definition “risks disproportionately targeting Muslim communities, who are already experiencing rising levels of hate and abuse”.
….In their joint statement on Tuesday, Welby and Cottrell warned that it could end up “labelling a multi-faceted problem as hateful extremism” and “may instead vilify the wrong people”.
I would ask them, Just which people should be “vilified”? Which group is the *right* group of people?
If one group, as for example, mozlums, are causing the most trouble, shouldn’t that group be the group to target to end the trouble?
