Ridiculous that someone was found guilty of burning a Quran, and now compounded by this

Dear Steve, Good Morning ;)
Correct, and as I was saying to old Sane on another thread, we have rules very old rules, but it looks like we have new rules.

Officially, blasphemy was abolished by New Labour in the 2008 Criminal Justice Act.
Strange thing for me is, that book that was burned is very big on the sanctity of life and in this case a life could have been so easily taken.

A Quran, a knife, a travesty of justice
Another season, another reason, for making whoopee.

Just to note that was for England and Wales. Thr Scottish parliament got rid of yhe blasphemy laws last year. And in terms of your post, surely the old rules were the blasphemy ones?

Dear Vlad,
You are Sir :o In fact I have just recently reread old Bamber Gasmeters book The Christians, brilliant book, anyway some Pope did mention in the book that us Christians are a very strange people, I can live with that✝️

I wonder if there would be the same outcome if someone burned a Christian Bible.

Dear Gordon,
Good question, me personally I would be outraged, a stern letter to the Times at the very least :P

You can have slaves, and beat them to within an inch of their lives. And of course you shouldn't commit blasphemy by 'taking the Lord's name in vain'
