03/15/2009: ""Antisemitic" Catholic website shut down by British Telecom (BT)"

BT HAS banned a religious website critical of extremist Jews that it has hosted for four years following a campaign from a group of MPs claimed it was anti-Semitic.

It is understood to be the first time that a website in Britain has been shut down under such circumstances.

The site was shut after John Mann, chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Committee on anti-Semitism, raised an early day motion supported by other MPs, including Glenda Jackson and Labour MP for Livingston Jim Devine.

Mann says the website is "vile and anti-Semitic" and "seeks to inspire hate against the Jewish community amongst others".

[ Glenda Jackson, former member of the Communist Party made statements in the 1960s such as that she looks forward to the day when there would be severed hands on the lawns at English garden parties. That is the kind of vile class-war hatred that she supports by contrast. This site is Catholic. Various religions insult each other - that's just a feature of religion. It's well known there are parts of the Talmud that inspire anti-Christian hatred too and of course the Koran has anti-Jewish text in it. ]
