Thoughtcrime Law Passes UK Vote
What about the Koran?In an earlier Commons debate, a Conservative MP raised the possibility that the law, if passed, could outlaw the reading of passages of the Koran that called for harsh treatment against Christians and Jews.
Following those assertions, a delegation of prominent Muslims held talks last week with the government minister responsible for the bill, Paul Goggins, to check whether the legislation could affect reading and quoting from the Koran and other Islamic texts such as the Hadith -- the traditional sayings of Mohammed and other early Muslim figures.
There were concerns in the Muslim community "that dawah [proselytizing] and propagatory practices may be curtailed under the new legislation," the Muslim Weekly reported.
The delegation suggested that it may be preferable to "totally exempt" Islamic texts from the bill.
They admit the shoe fits.
Hey USF...I was confused by some of the Little Green Footballs article. It states that some Muslim factions were lobbying for the ThoughtCrime Law yet others were against it. What's your take on that matter? I haven't been following it closely enough to understand that aspect.
