A PROTEST against a speaker specialising in Islamism and counter-extremism has taken place at Plymouth University tonight.
Around 30 people gathered to show their anger at Sheikh Dr Usama Husan giving a lecture at the uni.
It comes after he failed to condemn an image from the online cartoon 'Jesus and Mo' showing Jesus and Mohammed saying 'hey' and 'how ya doin' to each other.
Dr Hasan is a senior researcher in Islamic Studies at Quilliam was speaking at the Jill Craigie cinema tonight on the topic of Islam and democracy in the wake of the Arab Spring.
[A COMMENT] Unfortunately, Islamic people do not generally have a sense of humour - or reality for that matter.
[ANOTHER] The concept of free speech and freedom of thought is obviously lost on these people. This is not an Islamic country thank god.
[AND ANOTHER] So they are offended because he hasn't condemned one of his friends, who tweeted a link, to a cartoon that shows two men, "Jesus" and "Mo". What a ridiculous thing to get upset about. [Plymouth Herald] Read more
