Today’s Jesus and Mo strip, called “aspects,” came with a note: “Thankfully, that Anti-Muslim Hostility Tsar seems to be taking his time arriving.”
Yes, the British Government was going to appoint a “tsar” to oversee and police anti-Muslim hostility, but the position remains unfilled. The Muslim Council of Britain is complaining (their bolding):
The Muslim Council of Britain has written to Steve Reed, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government on the government’s prolonged delay in appointing the Special Representative on Anti-Muslim Hostility which was promised when they launched the Protecting What Matters Social Cohesion Strategy exactly three months ago on 8th March 2026. Despite this, the pledged role of a tsar or Special Representative on Anti-Muslim Hostility to date remains entirely unfilled, with no clear Terms of Reference, no allocated budget and no transparent path forward.
The British Muslim community continues to face a widening climate of discrimination, hostility and threats to physical safety. Since March 2026 alone, notable anti-Muslim incidents across the UK have occurred on average at least once a week which the Muslim Council of Britain which are outlined in the letter which can be read below.
This is based on the UK Government’s new definition of anti-Muslim hostility, a definition that Britain’s Free Speech Union has characterized as leading to “hostility and self-censorship”. The FSU is mounting a legal challenge against this definition and has a fundraiser.
In the strip, Mo gets offended when Jesus points out the obvious:
The imposition of censorship in Britain is deplorable and an affront to a long history of free speech in that country. I completely oppose the whole notion of blasphemy. Even if people engage in false allegations meant to hurt or demean a group, free speech must be protected, and falsehood should be confronted with truth, not with police power. The idea that people are being arrested for their social media posts is insane.
In the US there is a legal distinction between critical speech and speech that incites violence. The former is legal under the 1st Amendment, the latter is not. That distinction seems to be lacking in the British law.
What the UK needs far more than an “Islamophobia Tsar” is an “Infidelophobia Tsar” to monitor all the hatred and violence directed at infidels (especially Jews) by the large and ever-increasing numbers of fundamentalist Muslims living in the UK. It is a crisis of the UK’s own making due to the naive belief in a “multicultural utopia” but people are finally waking up, though perhaps too late.
Such a censorship law, if I read the material correctly, would cover things like discussion of the Islamic culture that allows victimization on non-Islamic women. (I am not saying that all Muslims subscribe to such beliefs, but a certain sector is, and that culture, which is definitely based in Islam, has allowed the grooming gangs crisis (and yes, it is a crisis, not matter the exact numbers). Are religious attitudes toward women, especially women of different religions, not allowed to be publicly discussed? Or does this rule apply only to Islam?
Personally, I believe that the way any society treats women is a sign of the justice available in that society. (Given the prevalence of women in the world, and the fact that basically all societies are run by men, that would seem to be a no-brainer, but hey! With the the topsy-turvy moral frameworks currently dominating the world, who are any of us to say?)
The fact that the grooming of young women for purposes of sexual slavery was done primarily by groups of young Islamic men is worthy of discussion. That such discussion was purposely not done by British officialdom allowed the abuse to continue, as does the lack of comment by much of the high-level Muslim hierarchy and those constantly reminding us of the dangers of Islamophobia, are factors that allow the abuse to continue. I condemn any physical attacks on innocent Muslims, but if the government, press, and religious authorities continue to refuse to call out the problem by name, I predict that we will see real Islamophobia, and innocent Muslims, in addition to members of the gangs, will suffer. Perhaps the people promoting positions such as this Tsar, should consider that.
Not many people in the UK have read the Koran just as few people read Mein Kampf.
The warnings are very clear.
