The Daily Mail here again shows why it is the worst paper in the Western world. Yes, the Guardian and the Independent and the Telegraph, etc., are just propaganda sheets for the hard Left, but the Daily Mail is even worse because it reports accurately on jihad terror, but then vilifies and demonizes those who stand against that same jihad terror, and has kowtowed to violent jihadis in censoring images of Muhammad before.
“Daily Mail adopts sharia to censor Mohammed image,” Archbishop Cranmer, March 31, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Daily Mail reported yesterday that another teacher has been suspended for showing an image of Mohammed. This image hadn’t been shown in a classroom setting for educational purposes, however, but was featured on his coffee mug from which he was drinking outside the staffroom; indeed, he was reportedly “photographed carrying the item in the playground at Colchester Royal Grammar School in Essex”. And it wasn’t some venerable 15th-century Shia portrayal of Mohammed encountering the angel of half-fire and half-snow, but rather a ink-line cartoon of him standing next to Jesus saying, ‘Hey’, to which Mohammed responds, ‘How ya doin’?”
Blasphemy.
The satirical cartoon is from ‘Jesus and Mo‘, which was created by Mohammed Jones (pseudonym [..for fear of death]) in 2005. It is either perceptive, astute and funny, or offensive, blasphemous and Islamophobic, depending on whether you’re slightly sensitive and easily fomented into a state of religious fury or not; and whether you believe Allah feels threatened by an ink-line cartoon and needs shielding from the violation or not….
If the Daily Mail falls for censoring images of Mohammed, then more newspapers will censor them, and more television channels and other media will censor them, and then more schools will censor them, and then universities will censor them, and then we will all be caught by the impending ‘Online Safety Bill‘ so Facebook and Twitter and YouTube will censor them, and before we know where we are the whole United Kingdom is subject to a very narrow hadithic understanding of sharia for fear of civil disorder, or even death, and so everyone conforms, or is forced to conform, on pain of fine or imprisonment….

UK’s Daily Mail adopts Sharia, censors image of Muhammad
……………
*Good grief*–just ludicrous dhimmitude.
tim gallagher says
I suppose that the people at the newspaper think that if they show the image of Muhammad then the murderous, constantly offended Muslim maggots might come after them and murder some members of the newspaper’s staff. The blunder is letting Muslims into non-Muslim, more civilised countries, then all this self-censorship, because Muslims are always threatening to kill people, in their usual barbaric way, follows on. If we didn’t let Muslims into our countries, none of this crap would occur because no other group of people threatens death for anyone who offends them. Only Muslims carry on with all this threatening, violent, bullying crap.
Infidel says
Actually, that makes perfect sense, and given how the UK is unwilling to do anything against muslims – be the government Labour or Tory – I’d say they’re making the right call. Cowards, maybe, but they do have to look out for their staff not getting massacred for any act of theirs
tim gallagher says
Yes, Infidel, I agree. I think that that would definitely be the reason for the newspaper to blur the image of Muhammad. They do have to protect their staff, knowing that Muslims will kill people over these issues. As you mention, it is up to the Government to do the right thing when it comes to Muslims. Well, it’s really up to the average citizens of a country to wake the hell up and then vote in politicians who won’t let Muslims into the country. The newspaper has, as its main responsibility, protection of their staff from maniacal Muslims who could murder them.
bill says
You are either ignorant or just stupid. The UK prisons are full of Muslims so how is the UK and its judicial system not doing ‘anything’ against Muslims
WPM says
UK prisons are full of violent Moslems who committed crime and were found guilty in a legal court of law. Why do so many Moslems commit violent crimes against non-Moslem British citizens should be your question. Could it be their religion and cultural tells them it is the right thing to do? Why would Moslems want to murder anyone who puts the image of Muhammad (no one knows what he look like anyhow) on a coffee cup or a cartoon? There are many people who make fun of Christians and Christ they do not face death by mobs of Christians. Many non-Moslems commit violent crimes also, they do not say they do them to further their religion or because it is part of their accepted “cultural”. They do not enslave others, or commit honor killing of their children because of their religion.. They do not believe acts of violent Jihad against non-believers will get them to heaven. Why do Moslems no matter what country they live in or what nationality they are ,or what color their race is are violent ,anti-social ,and hate all non-Moslems and commit violent and non-violent thief against all non-Moslems they live among?

bill,
Do you think that the UK is doing ENOUGH as far as its prosecution / deportation of muslims who break the country’s laws?
tim gallagher says
Very well said, WPM and James. Only Islam is this violent and full of barbaric garbage. My own policy is to keep them out of all non-Muslim countries because they are not worth all the trouble and grief they bring. i have met a few Muslims who seemed to be OK, but Islam is a disgusting, evil load of crap and produces far too many evil people. There is a reason that the jails in civilised western countries are full of Muslims. They behave like barbaric scum and end up in prison. Better if they were not let into our countries in the first place. Muslims will turn any country into a barbaric crap hole if they are given the opportunity to do so.
gravenimage says
bill, the UK is importing more and more violent Muslims into Britain to threaten their own people. There will not be enough room in the prison system to accomodate them all.
nicholas tesdorf says
The UK’s Daily Mail staff remember what happened to the staff of Charlie Hebdo and do not want to take any chances, even with the most minute details. If people in charge did not let huge numbers of Muslims invade the country, none of these precautions would be necessary and civilised life could continue as normal.

Jayell says
Some years ago I sent a message to the Daily Mail blog saying that Islam was incompatible with Western values. I got a nasty reply telling me not to contribute again and my employers might be informed. Too bad that I was already retired at the time, so their high-handed reply was a bit pointless, but I made sure that I never squandered my money buying their rag again.
By the way, what’s the difference between toilet (bathroom?) tissue and the daily Mail? Toilet tissue is perforated.

The Daily Mail was going to *inform your employers* about your political views because you wrote them a letter? *Just chilling*.
James Lincoln says
The Daily Mail management was in a can’t win situation:
1. If they printed the picture of mo, they would have likely endangered themselves and their staff.
2. By not printing the picture, they are admitting that muslims may become violent due to seeing the picture in the newspaper.
And, of course that tacit admission is “islamophobic”.
