UK: Clare College Students Harassed by Police
This is an update to the Clare College story. It turns out British police decided to intervene... to intimidate and perhaps to prosecute the students responsible for the publication of the cartoons. The shameless, the cowardice, the servilitude of those responsible for this act knows no bounds: Students in Clare College Mohammed cartoon row quzzed by police
The controversy over the publication of one of the now infamous Jyllands Posten Mohammed cartoons in a Cambridge University student publication has taken on a new seriousness, after two students were questioned under caution by Cambridgeshire police.
The students, understood to be the editor and guest editor of unofficial Clare College magazine Clareification (renamed Crucification for an issue focused on religious satire) were interrogated under Section 5 of the Public Order Act (“harassment, alarm or distress”).Police confirmed to Index that the students were questioned last Friday, and a file has been sent to the Crown Prosecution Service, which will decide whether to press charges against the students in the coming weeks.[...]

Not a word about this disgraceful assault on freedom of expression can I find in MSM. WHY?
Are any demonstrations planned by Cambridge students against this action by the thought police ?

Maybe it's time to seek "equal treatment under the law" or sue for "religous discrimination", I'm not sure if they have a "separation of church and state" in the UK, but they should. If it's alright to mock one religion, to treat any other religion any differently is discrimination, they need to back off the thought-police. If angering the "relkigion of peace" is too dangerous, maybe it's time the government admit what the population already KNOWS, WHO or WHAT the enemy, the THREAT to British society, really is. And the labour party can't figure out why they are being left in the dustbin?

Those of a certain age in the UK may remember some of the Not The 9 O Clock News sketches from the early 1980s. These included:
"The search for the Ayotollah's contact lenses goes on" (picture of muslims at prayer) and a video of some muslim cleric (doing God knows what gesticulations with his hands and patting himself on the head) to music of "underneath the spreading chestnut tree"
There'd be uproar now...well, not would be...is.

I can't understand why this story hasn't been reported in the mainstream news media.
