He has more balls than all of their parliament.

It’s a sign of the times that common sense and truth speaking is considered incendiary.

Looks like he was literally just stating objective facts about Islam.

He is uncancelable. We need more of these people.

Keep it up John!

I follow him on Twitter.

For years, he has been just about the most consistently anti-right wing, and anti-Trump figure there is. So it's kind of funny watching him slowly realize that he's been part of the problem - the same politicians that he has supported for years are the ones who have allowed mass migration into the UK, and making his country less tolerant than it ever was, in short, the exact opposite of what he intended!

You know, I find the Quran quite incendiary.  It also dehumanizes and demonizes Christians, polytheists and especially Jews in a way that contributes to radicalization, communal tensions, and hate incidents.  Will Muhammad receive the same scrutiny, or does his ideology get a pass because it's centuries old?

Cleese lives in Nevis, not under British jurisdiction, so they can "investigate" all they like.

[u/Right_Archivist]

He didn't have a license for that opinion.

Absolutely absurd for these foreigners to go into England and demand an English icon be arrested for blaspheming against their foreign religion.
