Extremist religious groups that advocate child abuse will be given protection under a Bill published by the Government yesterday.

The Racial and Religious Hatred Bill would outlaw remarks considered likely to stir up hatred against all religious groups, including those whose followers believe in beating children to drive out demons.

The law could have prevented the race riots in Bradford in 2001

The Bill contains no definition of “religious belief” and ministers confirmed it would cover members of the African religion whose adherents were convicted last week of cruelty to a girl of eight they regarded as a witch.

Satanists, pagans and atheists would be protected.

Having good reason for making insulting comments that could provoke hatred of a particular religious doctrine would be no defence, nor would the fact that they were true.

Opponents said the Bill would seriously undermine freedom of speech.

In line with the existing offence of stirring up racial hatred, the new religious hatred legislation would apply to threatening, abusive or insulting words, behaviour or written material. It would cover authors, publishers, theatre directors, film distributors and broadcasters.

The Brits have had statutes against Hatred for a long time. That hasn’t stopped them one bit.

So could have any other of the hate statutes the Brits had on the books at the time.

Tell that to the BBC who consider ‘robust debate’ to be an exception to the hate statutes.

Quite the contrary. Life will go on as usual on the BBC discussion boards.

Everyone but the hate posters on the BBC boards. Am I bitter? Not exactly. Disgusted would be closer to the truth.

Unfortunately, some people consider parts of the Bible hateful (as an example: as it relates to homosexual activity.)

Some people like to take a commonly understand term such as ‘hate’ and twist it to mean something entirely novel.

JPII was absolutely correct when he stated that humanity is fast coming toward a direct confrontation between the powers of darkness and the risen Christ.

Good news is we know how the story ends. Christ wins!

As one wag has already put it, how can it be offensive to tell a Satanist to go to hell 🙂
