“In Denmark, a 15-year-old Danish boy faces prison time for distributing leaflets warning that the country could someday become a Muslim nation and that he thinks that is a bad thing. A Danish prosecutor called the leaflets “hate speech.”
“For instance, Islam teaches that when Mohammed was 52, he consummated his marriage to a 9-year-old girl. But when Austrian politician Susanne Winter said that, in today’s world, Mohammed would be considered a child molester, she was convicted of hate speech.”

“So-called “hate speech” is illegal in Britain, but that depends on who is doing the hating. When the British citizens protested the Mohammad cartoons at the Danish Embassy London in 2006, they expressed their allegiance to terrorists. They called for beheadings and nuclear attacks. British police arrested no one until there was public uproar. Compare that to when a British news program exposed violent rhetoric in local mosques. British police originally decided to arrest not the radical Imams who spewed the hatred and bigotry, but the news program that did the report for allegedly stirring up racial hatred.”

The UK and Europe do not have a 1st Amendment protecting free speech. Do we want to follow their example?
In the UK, WBC members could be arrested for hate speech, but so could anyone who criticises islam.
