Yet another set of people hiding from the Religion of Peace, for claiming that it isn't peaceful. This is our unfree, vibrant future.

Quote:
The controversy over the publication of one of the now infamous Jyllands Posten Mohammed cartoons in a Cambridge University student publication has taken on a new seriousness, after two students were questioned under caution by Cambridgeshire police.

The students, understood to be the editor and guest editor of unofficial Clare College magazine Clareification (renamed Crucification for an issue focused on religious satire) were interrogated under Section 5 of the Public Order Act (�harassment, alarm or distress�).

Police confirmed to Index that the students were questioned last Friday, and a file has been sent to the Crown Prosecution Service, which will decide whether to press charges against the students in the coming weeks.

The magazine, circulated for free among Clare students, contained several articles ridiculing religious belief, and the front-page headlines �Katie Lin-O-Scopes more reliable than Bible� (a reference to the magazine�s spoof horoscope column) and �Ayatollah rethinks stance on �misunderstood� Rushdie�.

The editorial stated �I hate Islam�. The Mohammed cartoon appeared on the back page, juxtaposed with a picture of Clare�s student president with the caption �One is a prophet of God, a great leader and an example to us all. The other is a violent paedophile.�

Earlier, Cambridge University had signalled that it considered the matter finished with. A spokesman for the university said the student who had guest-edited the publication had been disciplined, but that there was �no prospect of him being sent down�.

This is not the first time a student publication has courted controversy by publishing the cartoons. In February 2006, three people (two students and a sabbatical officer) were suspended from Cardiff University after the cartoons were published in Gair rhydd, the student union�s official newspaper.

In a totally surprising move, the students who wrote this slap in the face to dhiminitude are in hiding for fear their lives will be taken from them by violent muslims.

Here is what they made. It is quite funny, and 100% accurate. God damn, we are so screwed if this type of behavior from the police, government and muslims becomes normal. Criticizing islam as a punishable, criminal offense. Just amazing. Congratulations, Britain, you are the first to accept your muslim future.

Here is the full article they made. They slammed Christians too, but no word yet on if they are being threatened by Mississippi Baptists.

It really is quite clever. And funny.
