Jesus and Mo Author was on Newsnight talking to Jeremy Paxman an hour ago – which I didn’t know until it was over, so I missed it, because the BBC doesn’t let people watch outside the UK. He was incognito of course, with the shadow thing and the spooky voice thing.
What we can see, though, is a segment from Channel 4 (yes them again) in which Mo Shafiq and his bully friends meet with the LibDems but are disappointed in their attempt to get Maajid Nawaz deselected.
On a happier note, they also talk to Mohammed Amin of the Conservative Muslim Forum, who says the threateners and shouters are the ones who are giving Muslims a bad name and damaging the image of Islam. “Jesus and Mo cartoons do nothing to damage the image of Islam among normal human beings,” he said. That is correct! Well said!
Then there’s Paddy Ashdown, who seems oddly intent on insisting that Maajid’s refusal to be “offended” by the Jesus and Mo image is a “minority Muslim view” but who also says Maajid is not going to be deselected and that Mo Shafiq is a pain in the ass. Not quite in those words.
Is this it?

Oh yes, hooray, thank you.
Funny: with the voice-disguise he sounds like Some Grey Bloke.
Have you been to the Maryhill Museum? Lots of neat Queen Marie stuff. And peacocks wandering around, near a replication of Stonehenge.
”Jesus and Mo cartoons do nothing to damage the image of Islam among normal human beings,” he said. That is correct!
Are you sure about that?
Sample of one. I find both Jesus and Mo, as presented in the cartoons, endearingly human. Even that one didn’t tell me anything against Islam that I didn’t already know.
