Ryedo40 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Here's another: "Just before I was due to start, a young man entered the lecture theatre, stood at the front of the room with a camera and proceeded to film everyone in the audience. That done, he informed us that he knew who we were, where we lived and if he heard a single negative word about the Prophet, he would track us down. (I am told he made further threats as he left the building). The organisers of the event, Queen Mary's Atheism, Secularism and Humanism Society called the police and the event was unfortunately cancelled." http://www.secularism.org.uk/blog/2012/01/freedom-of-expression-under-threat-by-violent-extremists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
