Britain
UK "Religious Hate" Law Exempts Koran, If Read By Muslims
2005-07-13
via Dhimmiwatch, EFL:

The delegation requested the meeting to seek clarification on a number of matters relating to the bill. Recent confusion regarding freedoms to deliver khutbahs and to recite and quote from the Qur'an and ahadith had raised concerns in the community that dawah and propagatory practices may be curtailed under the new legislation.

The Minister assured the Muslim community that there was nothing in the bill that would prevent scholars from delivering their sermons or from reciting from the Qu'ran and ahadith. The Minister reiterated that what the bill would do is criminalise incitement to religious hatred against individuals.

The minister said, it would be difficult to exempt scriptures because there is likelihood that extreme groups like the BNP may use verses of the Qur'an to incite hatred against the Muslim community. Therefore, the very purpose of the Act would be defeated.

Spencer comments, "Ah. So whether or not the Qur'an incites religious hatred all depends on who is reading it."

#5  Shipman, it only took 20 years for the incompetent Nazis to make it to TV. And, oddly, they were mostly played by people the real Nazis had tried to kill.

#3  How 'bout this for hate speech: This is a World War against MUSLIMS.

During WWII, we were at war against Germans, and Japanese. We didn't distinguish between "good" Germans or Japanese and enemy Germans or Japanese. No. The lack of distinction by US forced "good" Germans and Japanese (not in internment camps... Hmmm, Muslim internment camps...) to identify themselves by publically and vocally distinguishing themselves from the scum that deserved to be fragged.

It's time to force "good" Muslims to distinguish themselves, rather than US sucking up to America-hating, leftist pukes who screech that we must first identify exactly who did what, then present court-worthy eveidence, THEN, MAYBE go after ONLY the specific individual perpetrators. FUCK ALL THAT. These scum-animal terrorists don't wait to see who's who before they slaughter commuters and people, like my friend Mark, in the WTC.

Lets call a Muslim a Muslim, shall we?. The terrorists are MUSLIMS. The countries supporting them are MUSLIM countries. Since we are all infidels, MUSLIMS should understand perfectly that they will all be treated like the enemy. Let those who aren't the enemy worry about proving to US that they are not MUSLIM SCUM terrorists who must be hunted, lined up, and put out of OUR misery.

Oh, and FUCK the Koran and the MUSLIM it rode in on.
