I don't see all the atheists going to churches and having a protestThey are not protesting against Britain or its way of life, they are protesting against something that offends their religion.

My boss says "At last a positive image" but you can take the protests of the very tiny minority to base facts on.
One of my ten best films, 'A Clockwork Orange' was pulled from the cinema circuit but at least it was the director who pulled it not the rampaging mob.
It was available still in private cinemas although I saw it first in main stream cinema. Nowadays there are more options for release so it will go to streaming or media download.

I think Dogma by Kevin Smith was the last film I can remember Christians protesting (in the US) and it didn't seem to need any cinemas pulling the film for "staff and customer" safety reasons. In fact Smith even joined in with the protests himself and was only "caught" when a news crew turned up to interview the protestors and recognised him

I think that is because Christians generally don't commit violent terror attacks in the name of their religion when ever they feel someone insults it
The imam organising the protests seems to have been a government advisor. No more he has been cancelled.

Well yeah, it's a rather large conflict with his role...
