What century is this again? Earlier today, at Prime Minister’s Questions, a Labour MP stood up in parliament demanding the introduction of Islamic blasphemy laws. Tahrir Ali, the MP for Birmingham Hall Green and Moseley, asked Keir Starmer whether he would ‘commit to introducing measures to prohibit the desecration of all religious texts and the prophets of the Abrahamic religions?’.
Sorry Islam. You don’t get a free pass. We get to mock your prophet if we like, just as you can mock ours.
It’s called free speech.
This is Great Britain. We don’t have blasphemy laws and we are not going to be bullied into submission to a death cult.
