The teacher had allegedly shown a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad during a lesson on blasphemy. 

Commenting today, Mr Holbrook said: “This is an outrageous attack on free speech and expression. It is appalling that a teacher has been forced into hiding with police protection simply for showing a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad.

“Batley Grammar School’s response has been nothing short of pathetic appeasement to the unassimilated mob.

“We are supposed to live in a free country, but the response by the school and police speaks volumes to the contrary.

“This is just another battle in the ensuing culture war which is threatening the very fabric of British society. It is clear, now more than ever, that multiculturalism has failed.

“I call on Batley Grammar School to reinstate the suspended teacher and withdraw head teacher Gary Kibble’s craven apology.

“UKIP stands with the Batley teacher.”

Islamic Imam Qari Asim MBE, who is chair of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board (MINAB), and the British Government’s adviser on Islamophobia, called for the “change in social attitudes”.

He also says that those who mock a religion should be treated like those who “use the ‘n-word’” in a plan that will obliterate the UK’s commitment to free speech and Western values.

“Schools are free to include a full range of issues, ideas and materials in their curriculum, including where they are challenging or controversial, subject to their obligations to ensure political balance.” said Williamson. 

“They must balance this with the need to promote respect and tolerance between people of different faiths and beliefs, including in deciding which materials to use in the classroom.” added the Education Secretary.
