The Daily Mail reported yesterday that another teacher has been suspended for showing an image of Mohammed. This image hadn’t been shown in a classroom setting for educational purposes, however, but was featured on his coffee mug from which he was drinking outside the staffroom; indeed, he was reportedly “photographed carrying the item in the playground at Colchester Royal Grammar School in Essex”. And it wasn’t some venerable 15th-century Shia portrayal of Mohammed encountering the angel of half-fire and half-snow, but rather a ink-line cartoon of him standing next to Jesus saying, ‘Hey’, to which Mohammed responds, ‘How ya doin’?”
Blasphemy.
The satirical cartoon is from ‘Jesus and Mo‘, which was created by Mohammed Jones (pseudonym [..for fear of death]) in 2005. It is either perceptive, astute and funny, or offensive, blasphemous and Islamophobic, depending on whether you’re slightly sensitive and easily fomented into a state of religious fury or not; and whether you believe Allah feels threatened by an ink-line cartoon and needs shielding from the violation or not….
If the Daily Mail falls for censoring images of Mohammed, then more newspapers will censor them, and more television channels and other media will censor them, and then more schools will censor them, and then universities will censor them, and then we will all be caught by the impending ‘Online Safety Bill‘ so Facebook and Twitter and YouTube will censor them, and before we know where we are the whole United Kingdom is subject to a very narrow hadithic understanding of sharia for fear of civil disorder, or even death, and so everyone conforms, or is forced to conform, on pain of fine or imprisonment….
