Subject: RE: BS: T-Shirt/Censorship/Religious hatred
Yes, it is entirley justified.

Imagine if the T-shirt had had the same woman in Islamic clothing, and "Mohammed is a Cunt" on the back.

This man would have convicted in three seconds flat, and almost certainly have recieved a much harsher punishment.

This is, of course, assuming he was actually arrested*. If he was wearing a T-shirt as I described, in many areas he'd find himself in hospital, not a police station. Possibly alive, as well.

If you're going to have this law it must be applied to all faiths, without Bias.


* either for the incitement to hatred, or being criminally stupid,a nd a danger to himself. I don't know if that's possible, but it seems a good idea sometimes...
