John Cleese is facing criticism over comments he has made about Islam and Muslims as he prepares for an 18-date UK tour in September. The latest criticism has come from 5Pillars, which has questioned whether some of Cleese's statements go beyond criticism of religious beliefs. https://t.co/ta482n4JVZ — John Cleese (@JohnCleese) August 11, 2026Roshan Muhammad Salih, editor of 5Pillars, has argued that there is a distinction between challenging religious beliefs and making broad claims about Muslims and Islam. Apparently people are trying to CANCEL John Cleese, because he doesn’t agree with certain political views and is very outspoken about mass illegal migration. Cleese's John Cleese and the Holy Grail tour is scheduled to begin at The Anvil in Basingstoke on 1 September and conclude at Leeds Grand Theatre on 22 September.
