There are Muslims in Britain who want to murder a teacher because he showed a cartoon of their Prophet Muhammad in a lesson about freedom of speech.

Him and his family have been in hiding for over 5 years now. And our leaders continue to capitulate to the horrific state of affairs they have facilitated. They expect you not to just accept it, but to expect more of it.

Happy Islamophobia Month.

“A nice guy doing his job, and he’s now paying a life sentence for it.”

It is now five years since a religious studies teacher in Batley was suspended from his job after offending some local Muslims.

His alleged offence? Showing his students a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad during a class discussion about the brutal massacre of journalists at the French magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Fearing for his and his family’s safety, the teacher fled his home.

On this week’s episode of the FSU Podcast, @DavidRoseUK is joined by the teacher’s friend and local activist, Paul Holloran, who says his friend can now “never go home”.

At a pro trans event, a male student once said to me that all changing rooms should be mixed sex because this would actually decrease male sexual violence.

He argued that if men were exposed to naked women more often, they’d realise it wasn’t such a big deal — men and women being kept separate when changing teaches boys from a young age that it’s something they are not allowed access to and so they resort to other means.

Therefore it’d be beneficial for women to preemptively expose themselves to boys to prevent them from physically assaulting them later.

He of course considered himself to be extremely progressive and helping to smash the patriarchy.

.@AbdulElSayed says it’s ok for MEN to be in girl’s locker rooms.

Why?

“Well because they are going to find out about it on the internet anyway”

Completely unacceptable.

Went into three different mini supermarkets this evening to find a poppy for Remembrance. In the Coop when I asked the staff if they were selling any, they looked at me blankly. They didn’t know what I meant by a poppy for Remembrance.

Don't be fooled by the Conversion Practices Bill. Its name alone manipulates the public to believe that horrific abuse of LGBT people is somehow still legal, and that this bill is needed to criminalise it. Obviously the abuse of LGBT people, such as electric shock treatment or corrective rape and so on, is already illegal.

So what are they trying to criminalise?

Honest conversations between children and adults who care for them. They define 'conversion practice' as "causing the individual to have or not to have" or "believe that they have or do not have, a transgender identity or a particular transgender identity".

If you do not affirm a child's 'gender identity' you could face up to 5 years in prison.

This is not only an attack on freedom of speech, but it is anti-gay. A bill that purports to protect gay people will actually harm them.

We know that gender nonconformity is far more common in children who are same sex attracted. Hence the vast majority of children who identify as 'trans' are also same sex attracted and are confused as to why they don't fit the stereotypes for their sex.
