Just kidding about that, of course. But you know they probably will.

Basil Fawlty, Mad Bomber? John Cleese Reported to Counterterror Cops.
It’s always the guy you least expect, amirite? John Cleese, beloved around the world for his comic turns in the Monty Python troupe, as well as for his brilliant portrayal of the addlepated innkeeper Basil Fawlty, has been reported to Prevent, Britain’s counterterror policing program.

Has Cleese answered the call of Allah and strapped on a bomb vest? Has he applied for flight school and explained that he didn’t need to learn how to take off or land? No, it’s nothing like that. The unpardonable sin and possible criminal offense that Cleese has committed is that he has criticized Islam. Yeah, in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, that’s equivalent to bombing a bus.

So what did Cleese say that was bad enough to get him locked up by the British Thought Police? Oh, just telling the plain, obvious truth, that’s all it takes nowadays.

These groups aren’t just trying to stop Cleese from speaking; they’re trying to get him imprisoned. It was 5Pillars that broke the story that Cleese had been reported to Prevent for allegedly “incendiary posts about Muslims and Islam.”

It seems that Cleese complained about a culture “whose holy book advocates the killing of all the people they disagree with.” He also warned that Britain was “under attack from Muslim belief systems, especially the Koranic…”

Cleese also wrote: “I personally prefer a culture that does not approve of FGM, Child Marriage and Killing Infidels,” and called Islam “the religion of paedophiles.” Here again, is the truth any defense? When two Muslim doctors went on trial a few years ago for performing female genital mutilations in the Detroit area, their defense was that the practice was part of their religion. Child marriage is rampant in some areas of the Islamic world because of the example of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, who consummated his marriage with a nine-year-old girl when he was 54.

The Muslims who reported Cleese appear to be banking on the likelihood that Prevent officials and other British authorities will not be aware that what he said was accurate. With no reference to whether what Cleese said was true or false, “the complainant reportedly described the pattern of social media posts as dehumanising and as collectively attributing violence and criminality to Muslims, and assessed the risk as ‘Moderate to High.’”

The risk? Do they actually expect the British government, or the British people, to think that Basil Fawlty constitutes some risk to national security?

Not really, no. They expect that the squeaky Moslem wheel will continue to get the grease, as it always does nowadays.
