UK Prevent Scheme Reviews John Cleese Over Anti-Islam Posts
Monty Python star John Cleese has refused to back down after activists filed a formal complaint with the UK’s Prevent counter-radicalization program, alleging his social media posts promote anti-Muslim hate. Cleese, 86, dismissed the referral as 'comedy material' and labeled himself an 'Islamosceptic,' arguing that Islam deserves the same scrutiny Christianity received in his 1979 satire 'Life of Brian.'
