We wonder if this...

Britain’s contemporary artists are feted around the world for their willingness to shock but fear is preventing them from tackling Islamic fundamentalism. Grayson Perry... consciously avoided commenting on radical Islam in his otherwise highly provocative body of work because of the threat of reprisals... many of his fellow visual artists have also ducked the issue, and one leading British gallery director told The Times that few major venues would be prepared to show potentially inflammatory works. “I’ve censored myself,” Perry said at a discussion on art and politics organised by the Art Fund. “The reason I haven’t gone all out attacking Islamism in my art is because I feel real fear that someone will slit my throat.”

... has anything to do with this:

Remember “Undercover Mosque”? It made a stir in the blogosphere when it aired on Channel 4 in January and was hailed by Hitchens as revelatory and must-viewing by anyone who doubts the jihadist threat. Think of it as “Obsession” if that film was concerned specifically with British Muslims. Viewers petitioned the cops to watch it and see if any of the agents of peace captured on film inciting religious hatred might in fact be prosecuted for inciting religious hatred. Alas, no, the cops concluded - but how about we prosecute Channel 4 for inciting religious hatred against Muslims by airing the show in the first place?

Only if you think that police officers who persecute people for trying to expose violent political Islam helps to intimidate people who might try to expose violent political Islam. Which we kind of do, yeah.
