Melanie Phillips tells of the complaint against her:
In Great Britain, the historic cradle of liberty and sanctum of freedom of expression, it appears that you can no longer refer to Arab depravity in the slaughter of an Israeli family — including a three month-old baby — as they slept without someone going to the police to get you arrested for racism.
This is what happened to me. I wrote on my blog about the ‘the moral depravity of the Arabs’ who had murdered Udi and Ruth Fogel and their three children, 11-year-old Yoav, four-year-old Elad and three-month-old Hadas in their home in the Samarian neighbourhood of Itamar, near Nablus, by cutting their throats while most of them were asleep.
I also pointed the finger for this atrocity at the ‘savagery’ of the Palestinian Authority, whose educational materials along with the mosques and TV stations under its control incite frenzied hatred of Jews; which teaches its children that the highest aspiration is to murder Israelis; and which glorifies those who perpetrate such unspeakable acts by naming squares and public places after them.
Next thing I knew was that the Guardian ran a story saying I was being investigated by the UK Press Complaints Commission, which had received two complaints about my remarks – and I had also been reported to the Bedfordshire police for racism.
This came as something of a surprise. If I was indeed being investigated, no-one had seen fit to tell me about it. Indeed, at time of writing I still have not heard whether either of these bodies is investigating these complaints at all.
Stranger still was the involvement of the Bedfordshire police. I do not live in Bedfordshire, an area north of London. I have never had anything to do with the place. What could my remarks about the Itamar massacre possibly have to do with Bedfordshire?
A clue lay in the involvement in the Guardian story of a prominent British Muslim activist named Inayat Bunglawala. It was he who had reported me to the Bedfordshire police – and he lives in Bedfordshire.
It would appear that having taken exception to my blog, Bunglawala went to his local police force to complain about my views and expected them to take action against me as a result.

This is unlikely to come to anything but is another commentary on the sad state of Britain today and the psychopathic response of Muslims to Muslim violence

It certainly seems like Britain is creating a soft, warm, and welcoming place for radical Islam to land, especially since Sharia Law has now been "officially" recognized in many parts of Britain, including the church of England. And yet, no huge outcry from the british people. Hmmm... Has the whole country gone "Neville Chamberlain"?
Don't exaggerate the situation! You're just like the media that want to make a big story out of nothing. One muslim complains and the whole of Britain is doomed, yeah rite! And why don't you actually look into just how "officially" Sharia Law is recognized (and nobody cares what the Church of England says on any subject, it has no real authority).
"The first Sharia Council was begun in Birmingham, England in 1982. Muslim tribunal courts begun passing sharia judgments in August 2007 in Great Britain. In September 2008, Richard Edwards of the Telegraph reported that five sharia courts had been set up in London, Birmingham, Bradford, and Manchester, and Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The British government had "quietly sanctioned" the sharia courts and made their rulings "enforceable with the full power of the judicial system." Prior to this, "the [sharia] rulings were not binding and depended on voluntary compliance among Muslims." These cases dealt with sharia civil code, i.e., Muslim divorce and inheritance. In one inheritance case, the sons received twice as much as the daughters because men are favored over women in sharia law. Under British law, the daughters would have received equal amounts; in addition, in sharia law, "a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man's." Furthermore, "a woman's marriage contract is between her male guardian and her husband," and finally, "a Muslim woman is not permitted to marry a non-Muslim." --- American Thinker
Anon 3:51 'Don't exaggerate the situation! You're just like the media that want to make a big story out of nothing.'
The fact that the leftist press is supporting the Muslim complainants makes it a big story. The press in the UK doesn't support Johnny in the street because there is no value when they can make twice as much money supporting Fatima and her racist claims due to sensationalism which outsells the truth any day.

Muslims are not obliged to go to a Sharia tribunal in the first place.
Was the woman actually under investigation by the police or just what the complainant hoped for?

England needs to suceed from the EUROPEAN(SOVIET)UNION
As usual Bird-brain, your comment makes no sense, because your spelling is so bad. Do you mean England should succeed in the EU or secede from it? And what about the rest of the UK?
Dont ruffle my feathers annon
