Statement of Principle
The strength and survival of free society and the advance of human knowledge depend on the free exchange of ideas. All ideas are capable of giving offence, and some of the most powerful ideas in human history, such as those of Galileo and Darwin, have given profound religious offence in their time. The free exchange of ideas depends on freedom of expression and this includes the right to criticise and mock. We assert and uphold the right of freedom of expression and call on our elected representatives to do the same. We abhor the fact that people throughout the world live under mortal threat simply for expressing ideas and we call on our elected representatives to protect them from attack and not to give comfort to the forces of intolerance that besiege them.Press Enquiries

The links don't seem to work.
Hi - i can't access the links either and - god bless the mac - i haven't got a right or left click on my mouse, just a bog standard one click.
...although i've just discovered if you select and then drag your chosen image onto the desktop it's possible to open it that way and print from there.
Sorry - now fixed
Should try: save target as
Thanks for that - works a treat now!
you have my support

Hello, I tried the save target as but the files are corrupt... all of them. :s
There was a problem with the server that stores these files. Should be OK now.
Thanks but I have printed out the colour lego one now.
I'm appalled that the petition is going so badly! I thought we'd have thousands by now. Needs a big push. Has everyone spammed their entire contacts file? I have!
I think the reason you've not had the support you expect is because people (including muslims) support freedom of expression but against racism. If you don't like someone to swear or degrade your father then why allow yourself to do this with muslims prophet which is to them more than just a father?
Free Expression is a fundamental right that we all respect. But issue behind the pictures of Prophet Muhammed SAW (PBUH) are a matter of respect. No Muslim opposes freedom of speech, expression, freedom of anything! It's essential in the lives of everyone, Muslims & non Muslims.
The Danish pictures of our Prophet go beyond what Muslims believe & this is that Allah & Muhammed SAW (PBUH, or any other prophet for that matter, should be depicted in image form as this leads to idolising of that picture instead of God.
Even Hollywood respected Islam's belief & did have a character representing Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) in it's film, The Messenger.
I am not against your protest against "Free Expression". But to me it seems that your protest is more an attack on Islam, what Muslims believe, Shiria law, etc. rather than your belief that your freedom to express yourself isn't being upheld!
There are 2 types of freedom.
Freedom TO and Freedom FROM.
The Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights enshrine these freedoms as inalienable rights. These documents are the very foundation of all other law. They CANNOT be repealed, rescinded or circumscribed. The Magna Carta gives british citizens the RIGHT to take up arms and fight any government or monarchy, or anyone else, that attempts to do so.
Freedom TO; express an opinion - whatever it is, to speak, draw, paint, wear what clothes you like, practise what religion you like, etc,etc.
Freedom FROM; tyrrany, oppression, invasion, religious doctrine, the laws of foreign countries, etc, etc
In Christian Britain, there is no 'prophet' called mahommed, Jesus is our last Prophet. In Democratic Britain there is no such thing as sharia law. Laws are made by our elected parliament and adopted from the EU, not anywhere else.
Great Britain will always be FREE, always.
So do u not believe in the law your Bible has set out? Isnt't the Bible a way of life or is man made laws a better way of life?? If you believe Jesus is your last prophet then why is it we don't follow the Bible today but man made laws that are always changing in parliament! Did you know that the Iraq War has actually broken the Law so what Law are we suppose to follow if we're not even following it??
The bible is a sick joke, as is the koran.
Nobody with a sense of morality would believe that crap.
I will be there in support of all the oppressed people of this world not forgetting of course the Cuban people, victim of 45 years of a brutal Stalinist dictatorship.

if you dont believe the Bible, then you must not believe in hell. Of course, you dont have to believe in it to go there when you die.
U'v passed judgement about the Bible & Quran being "a joke". I'd like to know whether u'v even ever read the Bible...let along the Quran??!!! Somehow i doubt it. Ur very ignorant to have made a comment like that.
Educate urself & then maybe, just maybe ur mind will broaden a little!
Assalam-o-Alaikum!
