Thanks for that interesting link, this passage from that Spectator article just about sums it up.
/// Britain flunked the Satanic Verses affair, with politicians of left and right using the opportunity to satisfy their personal animosities against Salman Rushdie (some papers and politicians are still doing so now) and suck up to communal representatives rather than draw a clear line and explain what British traditions were and are. For instance the former Tory home secretary Michael Howard helped nurture the problem for another generation thanks to his bright idea of helping to set up and then governmentally endorse communal Muslim groups in the wake of the Rushdie affair.
It could have gone so much better if at any point since 1989 a political leader of any party had found the guts to say, ‘These are the rules here, and these are our traditions. If you don’t like them then hop it.’ But no one has. And that is why, in 2015, Britain has learnt nothing and progressed nowhere on all this. ///

For heavens sake will some moral retards come along and liven this 'debate ' up for the others :-)
Although there was no question attached to the original post so any 'debate' is presumably meant, as often, to consist of a few outraged opinions which go too far followed by some counter reaction and before you know it we have a shouting match.
