BRITISH MUSLIMS TRY TO BAN NEGATIVE REPORTING OF ISLAM

Muslims continue to try to censor free speech. Once again, it's a matter of bit by bit inch by inch to stop any and all criticism of Islam. This attempt however has far greater implications than just gagging criticism of Islam. It supports a blanket ability of the British government to censor ANYTHING in print or on the internet it deems "misrepresentations, inaccuracies and false reporting." Such a ruling would gut free speech and the ability to challenge issues protected by Political Correctness.

This cannot be allowed to come to fruition. The fight against the Islamification of the West depends on a totally unfettered press and internet.

BRITISH MUSLIMS TRY TO BAN NEGATIVE REPORTING OF ISLAM

A Muslim activist group with links to the Muslim Brotherhood has asked the British government to restrict the way the British media reports about Muslims and Islam.

The effort to silence criticism of Islam comes amid an ongoing public inquiry into British press standards following a phone-hacking scandal involving the News of the World and other British newspapers.

The Leveson Inquiry, established by British Prime Minister David Cameron in July 2011, is currently considering how to increase government oversight of the British media.

But in a move that many worry will result in government regulation of the Internet, Lord Justice Leveson, a British judge who serves as Chairman of the inquiry, now says he wants to include Internet bloggers into any system of press regulation that he proposes.

Observers say the Leveson Inquiry's effort to regulate blogging, combined with the Muslim attempt to ban negative reporting about Islam, poses a clear threat to free speech in Britain.
