Hate crimes are laws for mind control.

However it would be a travesty of justice should their statements be found illegal in a country which claims to be a strong advocate of freedom of speech and expression.

Time to lock and load, if that starts happening here, I guess ...

Of course, they can't in Australia, since all the guns have been collected and destroyed. Illustrates clearly why the left-wingnuts want rigid gun control, to keep from getting shot at when they try to implement communism here. /tirade off

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. When will they bring the Mullahs or the leftists to court for criticizing Christianity?

The Islamofascists want to keep the disguise of "Religion of Peace" on their "Religion of Murderous Jihad".

Besides, Christians don't preach hate from their Bible, they preach the love of God.
Islam preaches hatred toward Jews and Christians and murder from their Qu'ran.

This act was specifically designed to limit the free speech of pre selected groups.

Let's see, in a Muslim country the christian would never be sued.

HE WOULD BE ARRESTED, TRIED AND PUT TO DEATH.

What do you mean "if it...starts here"? Have you taken a tour on any college campus lately? These closed-minded bigots are the lefties running things!

What do you mean "will try it here". They already are. The only legal complaints against the Patriot Act are by Muslims using the ACLU and radical islamic activist groups.

The article is exactly right when it says the reason for all this is to make criticism (or investigations) of Islam illegal and punishable.

Possible Australian laws are similar to our own in that they don't mean what they say, rather they mean what a judge says they mean.

Australian Constitution - Section 116 - Commonwealth not to legislate in respect of religion.

"The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth."

My understanding is that Australia had introduced a Bill of Rights similar to our own, but I don't know if it became law. The original proposal included rights similar to our own Bill of Rights including the following:

Article 7 Freedom of expression. - "Every person has the right to freedom of expression, including the freedom of the press and other media of communication, and the freedom to seek, receive and impart ideas or information of any kind in any form, without interference and regardless of frontiers. "

Article 8 Freedom of thought and conscience - "Every person has the right to freedom of thought and conscience, including the right to hold opinions without interference. "

Article 9 Freedom of religion or belief - "Every person has the right to have or adopt a religion or belief of that person’s choice without coercion of any kind, and to manifest that religion or belief in worship, observance, practice and teaching, whether individually or in community with others and whether in public or in private."

Article 10 Right of peaceful assembly - "Every person has the right of peaceful assembly."

Exactly what do the Muslims, and PC diplomats, say about Jews and Christians?
Political Correctness - Some people say a world leader could never arise that would make Jews and Christians the targets. That Jews and Christians would never be slaughtered because of their religion, pro-moral lifestyle, or their belief in free will. They say it could never happen.
They say a man, an anti-Christ, or anti-God figure could never gain such power. No man coud force all to "tolerate all sin" in the name of godliness, nor force a mark to share the wealth in all "fairness".
Nah. They say it could never happen.

Islam, the false, gutter, worthless, power-tripping, devil-worshipping religion of pieces...

"When will they bring the Mullahs or the leftists to court for criticizing Christianity?"

Never, because these laws are only intended to punish Christians.
