Woe be unto free speech in Britain…or anywhere else where liberals think that it is of more benefit to society that Muslims be protected from criticism than that we have a free exchange of ideas in our political debates. According to ChronicleLive and Breitbart News, police in Northumbria, Britain are in the middle on an investigation that has them tracking down social media users who made “offensive” comments about Muslims on the internet. This is of course one of the greatest sins you can commit in a tolerant, open society like Europe, and police aren’t playing around when it comes to punishing those responsible for these “potentially criminal” posts. The investigation opened when police found comments on their Facebook page in response to article chronicling the recent Operation Shelter scandal. This scandal involved Muslim men from Newcastle grooming young white British girls for sex slavery, and it attracted the kind of less-than-tolerant comments you might expect. After someone complained about the comments – some of which (the horror!) noted the race and religion of the 18 men convicted of the crimes – police began tracking down the people responsible for the posts.
“As a result of a complaint, we can confirm we looked into a number of comments posted on the force’s Facebook page,” said a spokesperson for the police. “Following an investigation, which has now concluded, we spoke to two males as voluntary attenders and visited a further four people in their homes, and provided them with words of advice. All expressed their remorse and stated that the intention of their comments was not to cause concern or to be offensive and have acknowledged the words of advice provided.
“We would also like to take this opportunity to remind people using social media that they should do so responsibly and ensure they do not post anything which could be considered offensive,” the spokesperson concluded.
While we’re encouraged by the fact that Northumbria police did not actually arrest and charge any of the commenters with a crime, the fact that they would even devote resources to this nonsense is a huge step in the wrong direction. Far be it from us to tell British authorities how to run their country, but if you can’t make some basic observations about the nature of Islam when Muslims are selling young British girls into sexual slavery…well, something is a little off-kilter, don’t ya think?
Thanks to the First Amendment, we don’t have to worry about this sort of thought policing coming to our shores, but you’d better damn believe the left would bring it here if they could.

The sun has set on the British Empire. It doesn't matter whether the fairy Prince Phillip and his ugly 'wife' are kink and queenie.
Muslims practice discrimination against women and form of slavery.
They cut their (girls)genitals. They hate pigs for what reason I do not know, (it is one of GODS creatures who they profess to pray to)
Muslims want to kill and destroy anyone and anything that does not fit their way of thinking. THEN THEY SLITHER INTO THE UNITED STATES WHERE MOST CITIZENS ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT WE ARE AND THEY FORCEFULLY TRY TO CHANGE US.(wITH HELP FROM THEIR EVIL DEMOCRAT-COMMUNIST ALLIES.
They screwed up their own shithole and instead of fixing it so they come here and try to create the shithole they're familiar with.
I THINK NOT.
We got off our back sides and, thanks to President Trump, enabled this country to not let low life's come in and take it away from us thereby creating an Islamic-Democrat-Communist nation!!!!!
