A man from Manchester in the United Kingdom has been sentenced to 180 hours unpaid work and a 12-month community order after posting comments that were said to be “grossly offensive” towards Muslims.
Stephen Bennett, 39, reportedly took to the Greater Manchester Police’s Facebook page to post comments “concerning an Asian woman” as well as another which was “likely to be offensive to Muslims”.
While the Greater Manchester Police refused to disclose the details of the case to Breitbart London, he is said to have also written: “Don’t come over to this country and treat it like your own. Britain first,” according to the Manchester Evening News.
The father of seven, whose mother-in-law and sister-in-law are Muslim, was visited at his home at 8am by police officers who arrested him under the anti-free speech Malicious Communications Act. He is reported to have said to the officers: “Is this about that Muslim thing on Facebook? I’m getting locked up for sticking up for my own country.”
The legislation, brought forward under Tony Blair’s Labour government in 2003, states that a person is guilty of an offensive if they:
send by means of a public electronic communications network a message or other matter that is grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character; or; cause any such message or matter to be so sent.

Why did they bother to vote BRexit if this is what’s going to continue?
They want that here, too.
Obama apologized to the world for our First Amendment rights a couple years ago.
Instead of using it as an opportunity to teach and lead, he apologized for one of our most cherished liberties. Said he’d love to punish ‘those that would slander the prophet Mohammed’ but his hands were tied.
Wow, time to take advantage in America of the First Amendment and offend someone who thinks they need to kill INFIDELS?
I threw a Koran in the toilet and drew a picture of Muhammad in a dress. I hope that offends Muslims.
I hate Islam
Islam & muslims offend humanity daily!
I keep my Koran on the floor of my car.
These type of laws create massive pressure and anger to build among the population when citizens are not even allowed to vent off some steam.
Eventually, it will reach a boiling point when the entire population explodes.
The politicians that allowed this to happen are going to get what they deserve.
You might step on that Koran and offend the Muslims
I threw the koran in the toilet . I Hope this doesn’t offend the sensitive Muslims . NOT
It’s already dirty, singed on the edges and wrinkled and well beaten up. Thant’s the whole idea.
Don’t offend Muzzies. We’ll put you in jail. Islamophilia.
Liberals are Freaking hypocrites! For this reason alone I'm voting for Trump. If we pass a law like this, I am going to demand the same standard be held for these rag heads.
I laughed watching this. Like out of control animals.
And if that’s the way ALL of them punch, they REALLY better not start any brawls over here.
USA isn’t Europe yet. There’s a LOT of tough men who would do what needed to be done if they had to.
Laws like this is what our disgusting lawless liberal politicians want passed here.
All crazy liberals are the same everywhere they go.
They do nothing but support and lift up every vile thing .
The free speech they scream about is only free if it vile and wants to destroy the things around them . Everything they do invites destruction.
What he said was not insulting in the least bit .
It is totally insulting that they allow muslims to say and preach the killing of Brits in their own country and do NOTHING at all about it.
Yes, but while “submit or die” is a religious doctrine under islam, for others to say it, is a threat of criminal intent.
Forced Unpaid Work. Isn't that what was once known as s-l-a-v-e-r-y?
But these signs from a 2006 protest in London are OK.
In regard to those signs the Muslims are holding. I’m mocking Islam right now. Islam is a joke of lies. So are Muslims going to “butcher” me now?
