Britain - Religious hatred bill

Here we go again, pandering to Muslims.

A new bill that would make incitement to religious hatred illegal is being unveiled by the government. [...]

The government says the legislation is a response to the concerns of faith groups, particularly Muslims, who feel they are not given the same protection under the law as others such as Christians or Jews.

Australia introduced just such a bill and the only ones in jail so far are Christians.

However, he added: "Followers of different religions will be allowed to criticise each other, but they will not be allowed to use insulting behaviour that is likely to stir up hatred."

Which is just perfect for Muslims because they consider the Koran to be the absolute word of God. To criticise Islam is insulting behaviour to Muslims.

Rowan Atkinson has warned that comedians like him were at risk of prosecution for lampooning religious figures.

But Home Office ministers pointed out that this was not the intention of the legislation.

Of course it is.

Contact your MP and tell him you are opposed to this threat to free speech.
