You know those moments when you actually exhale and think, “Wow… someone in the system finally got it right”? Yeah — that’s me today. Because, for the first time ever, a British court just ruled that criticising Islam — calling it “backward,” “problematic,” even calling the Prophet Mohammed a “monster” — is legally protected speech.

Protected. Not “hate speech.” Not “Islamophobia.” Protected under the Equality Act. And honestly, I didn’t think I’d live to see this day.

Shalom everyone — I’m Igal, and this is Middle East in Less Than Five Minutes.

And yes, today I’m smiling, because this ruling might just be the biggest win for free speech in years.
