How amazingly you twisted the words. It only said, hate crimes against Islam and propagating Islamophobia. The same law includes other minorities as well. What to do with those who feed on falsehood.
1. Islamophobia was the only specifically mentioned crime.
2. Any disagreement whatsoever with Islam is branded islamophobia, so I stand by my post

@pianoplayingsteve: No, people here disagree with me, people in my circle, people when I was in West for years. There is obvious differences between disagreeing and humiliating some one. Some here twisted that too. Best wishes to you.
@Vitality: there was a time where I was at college (where freedom of speech should be championed) and we were discussing UFO cults and I mentioned that the claim of rael is no more stupid than the idea of a man seeing an angel in a cave. A Muslim in the room realised I meant Islam and he said "urgh your talking about Islam!" As if comparing religions that puts Islam in a slightly negative light is akin to defending a rapist.
I have just learnt that the Irish government is passing a blasphemy law threatening the punishment of a £25,000 fine. I live in the UK, and I have not seen any Hindus, Jews, Christians, Sikhs or Buddhist want to impose a blasphemy law in the UK for hundreds of years, so who is it benefiting from this disgusting crime?
It'll have a pendulum effect like in America. People will get sick of that type of thing and start voting to the right then the law will be removed when the next guy comes in... then they'll get sick of his shit and vote left again... same old shit 🤷♀️
I hear you. If only people could just think empirically, scientifically and without labels. Each side have some points and it's about balancing them, but many people like to mob together and go too far
@pianoplayingsteve: Yeah it's always the voters who don't have predetermined allegiances that determine elections so they get sick of the group in charge and want a change.. then get sick of that group... if every country just had a 'common sense party' they'd probably win every election 😂
Looks to me like it was passed and that the purpose is to conduct studies to provide for ways to curtail islamaphobia think you are like the right in America who like to twist facts
@Vitality: show me where it says "christianophobia, hinduphobia, sikhphobia, paganphobia, buddhistphobia" etc

@pianoplayingsteve: Get it when it says "systematic racism and [c=#BF0000][u]religious discrimination[/u][/c]. Besides, Muslim are subject of hate crime in many western countries. So from your idea, I should be opposing the recent law in my country, giving protecting to Hindus and Christians?
@Vitality: yeah I saw that bit, but I also saw how it only mentions 'islamophobia". And there's a massive difference between criticising an ideology and attacking a person. Every time someonedisagree with Christianity no one shouts them down as racists because 1. A religious belief isn't a race 2. That person is an individual not a religious belief it's the belief that was questioned 3. People should be allowed to criticise any idea they want. If there was a law against christianophobia I'd oppose it, if there was a law against criticising the theory of evolution I'd oppose it, if there was a law against liking converse trainers I'd oppose it. Freedom of conscious is a very important freedom that millions have died to protect, and you are on the WRONG side of history if you support stifling of speech, and it's also a disgusting spit on the memories of people who really did face religious discrimination in the past such as Jews in nazi germany, trivialising such words.
Do you think it will be this point that a civil war starts? I think it will, which the new world government will use to impose even more tyrannical laws.
@pianoplayingsteve: I hope people will realize this Muslim threat and do something about it before things escalate to that point and trust me it will.Maybe not in their life time, but in their children's or grand children's life time if they don't do something about it now.
