Fitna For Purpose?
"The default 'blasphemy law' in the UK is now Shari’a, and it is under its absolutes that all religio-political discourse must now be conducted."
His Grace was discussing the removal of Dutch MP Geert Wilders' controversial film on Islam, Fitna, from its web hosting service following death threats against the families of the service provider.
Here's what Cranmer has to say:
"There is one religio-political agenda which has no compatibility with British democracy; indeed, it is in the process of destroying it. It may be observed that one may attack Christianity and offend Christians by blaspheming the name of Christ with impunity; there is no sensitivity to the level of this offence, and therefore no censorship. But any such attack on Islam and its prophet not only meets with the full force of the law, there are draconian levels of pre-emptive censorship just in case the Queen’s Peace is disturbed...
"The Qur'an is now treated with greater respect than the Bible; the name of Allah is more fearful than that of Jehovah; and the life and teachings of Mohammed are more sacred than those of Jesus."
Fitna is now available for viewing on a Swiss site.
