The Lady Of Heaven: Film about Prophet Muhammad’s daughter pulled by Cineworld following protests and ‘blasphemy’ criticism

More than 120,000 people have signed an online petition describing the film as “racist” and calling for it to be removed from all UK cinemas, and protests have taken place in Bradford, Leeds, Sheffield, Bolton, Blackburn and Birmingham.And in a letter to Cineworld shared on its social media sites, the Bolton Council Of Mosques said the film had caused “much distress to Muslims across the globe”.

However, a House of Lords peer has described the decision to remove the film as “disastrous” for the arts and “dangerous” for free speech, and critics of the decision have hit out at the film’s “censorship”
