I think Tony is indulging in his usual "knee jerk without rational thought" politics.
Surely the best way of dealing with clerics who spout hate and bile would be to ask the real religious leaders of Islam to unfrock them, as would happen in the case of a Catholic or Church of England priest who transgressed.
In this way, the job would get done without feelings of insecurity being engendered in other Muslims, or feelings of suspicion in the Christian community, and free speech would remain intact.
