Islamaphobia Legislation (UK)

[Nasher]

You have a right to be offended. That doesn't mean someone has to appologise

 

[Dis86]

So if someone went up to a Jewish person and said hitler was right, that’s not something to be offended by?

Or how about all the abuse victims of saville, would it be out of the ordinary if they were offended by someone saying they deserved it?

They're entitled to that opinion. No matter how abhorrent it may be to you or I.

So ban people being obnoxious?

Turned out to be an actual racist though didn't he: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-48094266

That's not what it says though. It says he posted in a group which contained racist language. It could therefore be argued that by this standard of evidence that you are a racist as people have posted similar language here. That's obviously an unfair statement to make.

Well no they aren’t because they’d be arrested, that’s the country you willingly live in.

Don’t like it? You know what to do.

 

[Dis86]

Doesn't mean I agree with every law in said country. Does it?

Or rather the actioning of every law.

And what does it matter if someone is offended? If someone is offended by something you don't find offensive, should they be punished by law and have their lives destroyed?

Although I consider you to be perpetually offended by everything, so its a bit of a moot point.

Yes, because that’s funny. Play stupid games...

 

[EvilSooty]

So you think it's OK for people to be arrested for their opinions?

 

[Lord-Jaffa]

Don’t like it? You know what to do.

You really do post some rubbish.

See, what I find funny is people like you having to crap out their own teeth. Play stupid games!

This thread is a pretty clear example of why legislation like this is needed unfortunately.

There’s a whole world of difference between legitimate criticism/commentary and islamophobia. Do people really not understand, or do they themselves have an agenda?

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Just to clarify, you believe that billions of Muslims around the world all support those things?

Most majority Muslim countries do.

And this legislation could never be abused and used for purposes which it was never intended?

Thought policing and anti speech laws, Canada already has some of those so why not follow suit, what could go wrong as long as peoples feelings aren't hurt.

Could you give us an example of legitimate criticism?

So to be clear, you'd be in favour of prosecuting some of the people in here for some of the views they've expressed. Can you share which ones you'd lock up if you were supreme leader?

You've reminded me of that ex-copper who liked a supposedly anti-transgender limerick and was told by a policeman that he needed to "check his thinking" - I wonder if the copper said it in a Tom Cruise "Minority Report" style voice?

I can live in that world, can you? Going to be brutal for all those loose of mouth types to keep their words in check when the time comes.

I can keep my mouth shut and can lie quite well if the need arises, I’m a good little pleb that knows his place.

Please explain why 'Islamophobia' should be illegal. Why shouldn't people be free to voice their contempt, disgust and/or mock a religion whichever one it be?

You are advocating the criminalisation of people who attack a religion.

You belong in the medieval era.
