As we reported back in March, a nobody writer for a free tabloid newspaper in London wrote that "John Cleese was a comedy icon" … but now "he’s ruining his legacy." Cleese's "bizarre X posts" are what triggered her … Cleese, though still infected with TDS, has become based when it comes to the Islamization of the United Kingdom. He's not a fan of giving his country over to a religion that believes in beheading infidels and makes it clear.
On Friday, Cleese asked a critic what a lot of us are asking: where are all of the moderate Muslims speaking out against radical Islam?
Missing the point completely

If the majority of Muslims - the non-radical ones -
are not in favour of radical Islam, could some of them start speaking out and saying so
What is the reason why they are not doing this ? https://t.co/hWKK6XZ06z
When an Islamist extremist drives a car filled with explosives into a synagogue in Michigan, the liberal media's response is always the Norm Macdonald meme … imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims. How about the Egyptian Muslim who killed a woman when he threw Molotov cocktails into a parade of Jews praying for the release of the hostages? The story always turns into a cautionary tale about Islamophobia.
Mehdi Hasan, who was way too offended by that beeper joke, told Cleese to STFU:
Oh STFU you racist unhinged ignoramus https://t.co/i6tFBf9XU5

Since when is Islam a race? Answer the question, Hasan. Where are all of the non-radical Muslims speaking out?

Now your mad because we demand that the majority of Muslims speak out against the radical Islam?
— Angela Van Der Pluym (@anjewla90) May 22, 2026
But you know they can’t. Because it’s not radical at all is it? They are just following the Quran.
Also, it’s not a race.
That was your opportunity to speak out against the radical Islam he’s referring to.

You failed, therefore making him correct. pic.twitter.com/niVVlZzw5u
Not really a reason is it?

Why cant you answer?
What is racist about questioning why members of a religion (not race) do not call out the violent extremists in their midst?
— lisa keeble 😊 (@lisakeb007) May 22, 2026
You know what you did there right?

You could take the opportunity to call out the extremism but instead you do this.
— Melanie Bennet (@MelanieBennet_) May 22, 2026
Sorry that struck a nerve. Not sure why you say it’s racist.
— David Lewis (@DCLzimsausa) May 22, 2026
Well I guess you proved his point Mehdi. They won't speak up because they're scared of extremists like you. Yes we know.

Thou do protest too much Hasan.
— Bellamy Bellucci (@BellamyShoshana) May 23, 2026
Again, deflecting instead of speaking out. It would be so easy to distance yourself from radical behavior, yet you never do
— Clyde Shelton (@inventorShelton) May 22, 2026
Go on then, proove him wrong.
— Captain Coriolis (@CaptainCoriolis) May 22, 2026
Speak out against radical Islam.
You won’t.
Cleese ended that exchange:
Not much point in starting a conversation with a psycho https://t.co/Oy0zyM07ym

He's not a psycho. He's your average, moderate Muslim.
