#5 Interesting that two MSM newspapers have contradictory statements regarding the Police motives for the arrests.
Daily Mail: Police confirmed the arrests were in relation to burning the book, not for making, distributing or watching the video.
El Guardinista:The six men were arrested on suspicion of stirring racial hatred, police said, which is outlawed under the 1986 public order act. They were not arrested for the actual attack on, and burning of, the Qur'an, but in connection with the posting of the video.
Section 21 of the 1986 act reads: "A person who distributes, or shows or plays, a recording of visual images or sounds which are threatening, abusive or insulting is guilty of an offence if he intends thereby to stir up racial hatred, or Â… racial hatred is likely to be stirred up."
