UK: Police visit man’s home, warn him for posting Facebook content critical of Islam
Source: Rees-Mogg fan ‘warned by police’ for posting content that is critical of Islam | Your Brexit h/t Jihad Watch who writes of the police, “are acting like Sharia police.“
The owner of a Facebook page praising the Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg has told their followers that they have been visited by two police officers who provided ‘advice’ that included a warning to stop posting content that is ‘critical of Islam.’
Perhaps one of the most worrying parts of the Facebook post is that they say they have no idea how the local police obtained his details without some sort of court order or similar legal action.
At the time of writing, this question remains unsolved.
As you will all now all be aware, I was visited last week by two local police officers who wished to provide ‘words of advice’ regarding supposed Islamophobic content posted onto this page, which was itself locked and suspended for a fortnight.
The officers themselves were polite and reasonable enough, however their message was somewhat chilling: it was insinuated that if I continued to post material which could be considered critical of Islam or offensive to the practices of Muslims, I could potentially be arrested for ‘hate crimes.’
Equally chilling was that I have no idea how they obtained my personal information and they weren’t willing to disclose this information during their visit.
On the advice of some patrons of this page I have this morning submitted a formal complaint to the IPCC and also made written enquiries to the Police and Crime Commissioner to try and get answers.
I will of course keep you all updated with the progress of these enquiries.
Thank you all for your kind words, messages and patronage. It has been very helpful.

The imposition of sharia is happening in the U.S. as well. A federal judge recently ordered that New Jersey Residents Can’t Mention ’Islam’ or ’Muslim’ at a Public Hearing on Mosque.
Sources have also informed Creeping Sharia that a high-ranking police officer went to the home of at least one person and demanded that they stop posting “anti-Islam” comments to a city Facebook page. More details on that story soon.
