Another nail in the coffin of British free speech was well and truly hammered in today after it was revealed that a proposed screening of the film “Fitna” in the House of Lords was called off after Muslim peer Lord Ahmed threatened to mobilise 10,000 Muslims if the film was shown.A female member of the Lords had planned to invite the director of the film, Dutch politician Geert Wilders, to the conference room in the House of Lords, where his film “Fitna” would be shown to invited colleagues and the issues the film raised debated.
“Fitna” is of course the short but powerful film that looks at the reality behind the establishment’s espousal of Islam as a “religion of peace.” For daring to challenge current orthodoxy, Wilders is currently facing prison in Holland for his statements about Islam.
