Must not speak ill of Muslims in Britain
But Muslims can speak ill of "kuffars" all they like:
"Kevin Quinn, the leader of a right wing party convicted of a religiously aggravated public order offence after a racist speech in South Oxhey, has received a six-month suspended prison sentence. Quinn launched a tirade of abuse at a British First Party rally after setting up a stall with Union flags in the shopping precinct on Saturday, December 1, 2007.
The 44-year-old was arrested after he was heard to shout all Muslims are b******s, while referring to the plight of British school teacher Gillian Gibbons, accused of blasphemy in Sudan after allowing children to name a Teddy Bear Muhammad.
Quinn was found guilty after a second trial at St Albans Crown Court in March and sentence was adjourned for reports until Monday. The jury in the first trial was discharged when they could not reach a verdict on Quinn of Ousland Road, Queens Park, Bedford....
Before sentencing, Judge Stephen Warner said: “The jury found you used abusive or insulting words directed towards those of the Muslim faith. “There is a right of freedom of speech in this country, which extends to those such as yourself who seek to express in public views such as yours however offensive many may find them to be. “That right, however, does not include the right to insult or abuse such members of the public that are exposed to that behaviour. “A [Muslim] member of the public felt sufficiently strongly to contact police because you had abused that freedom of expression.

So if a Muslim happens to hear you, your free speech rights go out the window! The guy did not abuse any Muslim personally. One just happened to be nearby.

So basically in England, you have a right to free speech as long as no one hears you!
yup, just like on US university campusses.
But what do you expect from a country that allows muslims to have their own private courts, that don't have to follow the law of the land but the decisions of which are binding according to the law of the land?
Up is down and right is left. Got it?

We in America better watch our freedom of speech. Barry has given his reichmarshal of homeland defense the right to keep tabs on anyone that speaks badly of the fuhrer. amerika amerika uber alles.
Surely Judge Stephen Warner must have been aware of the nonsense he was spouting...
It translates to, 'You have the right to free speech so long as you don't offend anybody'.
What type of free speech is that? Freedom of speech that is limited only to sheep who spout banalities.
Unfortunately many people don't see such contradictions in their mindsets!
