You’ve got to be kidding...I don’t even...
Interesting stuff, there. One wonders how long defining “hate” as, “I believe A is true, but you believe A is false,” will be sustainable.
Islam has no problem in so many eyes being an offense and a blasphemy against the only begotten Son, and they don’t consider it a hate crime though it is the root of and nourishment for most terrorism today.
Not to mention the slave trade such as it still exists....
This is a facet of the British policy that does not recognize truth as being a defense for libel. Even though you speak truth about some one or some thing, they can still take you to court for, I assume, your intentions.
But that or something like it seems baked into our hate crime legislation, too, where ‘intent’ can be divined and parceled out depending on race.
They had better be careful. Much of the Koran could be deemed a hate crime based upon their criteria and they wouldn’t want to offend their favored minority group.
Hate speech is speech that does not affirm protected lifestyles.
For example, gay groups complain about Christmas movies that only have straight people in them.
Those movies don’t attack anyone, they simply refrain from affirming gays.
(The text of the law in question.)
This from a country which has a whole national holiday devoted to stirring up hatred of the Pope, Catholics, and Catholicism.
““Certainly the stricter Muslims do feel offended by Christianity and our belief in Jesus being the only Son of the one true God,” he added.”
Ok yeah. And no one is ‘offended’ that Muslims state Allah is the one true god and his only true prophet Mad Mo. The only offence comes from the protected class. Demonstrating once again the insanity of liberalism and the left.
Where this world is heading just blows me away.
Maranatha, Lord Jesus.
The sooner, the better.
Once they do that stick a fork in them.
The British government has refused to say whether telling people about the Christian faith could be a hate crime.
In England, the KJV rights are invested in the Crown.
These Brits have eaten too much cow brain...ergo...mad cow disease.
They want the benefits of ambiguity, which is why they refused to answer the question. If they answered it, they’d have taken a definite (and weakened) position on “hate speech”.
I’d follow up with the question: Would answering that question be a hate crime for the same offense, given that such clarification would offend someone?
Insane!
God is leaving Britain to its own fate.
I guess peace on earth and goodwill to men left on the last tram to Merekesh.
