Anyone who criticises Sharia law or gay marriage could be branded an “extremist” under sweeping new powers planned by the Conservatives to combat terrorism, an alliance of leading atheists and Christians fear.

Theresa May, the Home Secretary, unveiled plans last month for so-called Extremism Disruption Orders, which would allow judges to ban people deemed extremists from broadcasting, protesting in certain places or even posting messages on Facebook or Twitter without permission.

Mrs May outlined the proposal in a speech at the Tory party conference in which she spoke about the threat from the so-called Islamic State – also known as Isis and Isil – and the Nigerian Islamist movement Boko Haram.

But George Osborne, the Chancellor, has made clear in a letter to constituents that the aim of the orders would be to “eliminate extremism in all its forms” and that they would be used to curtail the activities of those who “spread hate but do not break laws”.

He explained that that the new orders, which will be in the Conservative election manifesto, would extend to any activities that “justify hatred” against people on the grounds of religion, sexual orientation, gender or disability.

Are they really incapable of understanding the difference?

They need to rename their party from “Conservative” to “Dhimmi”

Does anybody see the contradiction that under Sharia law, gay marriage would be illegal and gay sex a death penalty crime.. ...

It won’t be Muslims who are targeted under such a law.

In my opinion there IS no such thing as a MARRIAGE between two people of the same gender. It's an association, not a marriage.

GOD made the rules.

It’s the UK - they’re already Islamist politically.

What if you want to criticize sharia law because it does not allow gay marriage?

Good question. The very first statement is a built in conflict. Sharia law and gay marriage are mutually exclusive. That is why I first thought the thread was a joke.

In the UK the only ones arrested for disturbing community cohesion are those who criticize Muslims and gays while the Muslim extremists are given airtime on BBC and they aren’t denounced.

There can only be one winner in this stupid fight.
