    Default English going to host Mohammed Cartoon contest in London?

    Just been following the tweets and blogosphere in the past few days. It seems the British are to host a Draw Muhammed Contest - On September 18th. Mohammed is described by humanity as a historical person from the 7th century middle east and he's beleived to be a "Prophet" by Muslims. Mohammed has already been draw and depicted in Persian and Ottoman paintings and books and works such as Jami' al-tawarikh so the mainstream media has it wrong when it told you depicting Mohammed is forbidden in Islam. Of course this event will be made "controversial", labeled "controvery" just as plays mentioning Islam were cancelled thanks to PC fears, or the banning of opera Idomeneo re di Creta or just as theatre pieces have recived death threats, just as Salman Rushdie's novels got the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran to issue a fatwa and just as the mere rumors of someone flushing a Quran down the toilet causes mass rioting across Pakistan and Afghanistan...this will be "controversial" according to the corporate media....and if its not accepted as controversial already it will be manufactured to be controversial by lobbyists from the media schools of Al Jazeera and Press Tv Iran. Freedom of Expression, Freedom of writing, speech were massive ideas these movements grew and fought against religious extremism, free thinkers fought against communism, totalitarianism and racism, they were strong movements in 1964–19651 and 1966–1970 especially during the hippe culture. Of course things are much worse now with the shootings in Garland Texas and the France attacks, freedom of speech has been attacked the the geopolitical situation has blown up with George Bush's 2003 invasion of Iraq and President Obama's bumbling when dealing with the threat of the ISIS group. It should also be noted translators....people just doing translation work on Rusdie's books were also targeted, Hitoshi Igarashi a Japanese translator was stabbed to death and Ettore Capriolo, an Italian translator was seriously wounded. Many US news outlets engaged in self censorship after these cartoonist killings in Paris, a spokesman for the British news media BBC told the Telegraph newspaper that the Muhammad policy is under review, a CNN memo obtained by Politico net group showed the network would not show images of the cartoons. On the opposite ends of the spectrum, some news media published multiple images such as The Daily Beast and also more free coverage on pages of The Huffington Post.

    Seems the rightwing, the UK-First bunch have already joined in with their voices. In Denmark during the last elections in respose to Islamic extremism the Danish People’s party announced it would place election posters around the country with a cartoon of Mohammed. This event will grow and grow more in the media

    Reports say The Brit police have already arrested some English nationalists who plan on attending
    next the extremists Islamic loonys will respond with their propaganda




    ....is freedom of expression getting worse and are moderates and free thinkers getting just drowned out by lobby groups?
