Which is precisely what it says on the first link I provided which is why I linked to that first (or do you always ignore the first link and jump straight to the second)?;)

I don't usually read your posts at all six, but your second link was to an outdated act :)

Shouldn't the word posts say links bf? Obviously you read my posts otherwise you wouldn't be so quick to respond to them.:cool:

At the bottom of the first link; http://www.religionlaw.co.uk/crimescc.htm it reads this;

 

"The wording of the Religous Hatred legislation is on this website but for those who are interested in the background to this debate I also provide the wording of the Governments original proposals."

 

If you click on "Religous Hatred legislation" it links you to the 1986 act which is still pretty much unchanged as far as the wording goes.

Anyway, try reading the links properly so you understand what you're reading before forming an opinion, that way you might not look so foolish.

 

*Sits back and waits for bf to find an example of me doing likewise so he can get his own back*:help::D

Isn't the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006 what did for that guy that left some cartoons in the prayer room at Liverpool airport?

 

Slippery slope stuff if you ask me.

 

What about these cartoons? Do they qualify as inciting religious hatred?
