The irony. Its fine for them to burn the bible though. Is this arrest fair or silly?

Vicky. 26-11-2010 02:34 PM

Stupid. Absolutely ridiculous tbh :/

Double standards...as usual.

MTVN 26-11-2010 02:36 PM

It's always hard to say what actually constitutes "inciting racial hatred", it seems to be a grey area. But does one girl burning a book on facebook really incite hatred? I wouldnt say so

Judas 26-11-2010 02:42 PM

I think she deserves it; it's just ignorant, rude and disrespectfull.

Niall 26-11-2010 03:00 PM

Silly.

They only arrested her because Muslims would be having kittens if the police hadn't done anything.

If she burned the bible nothing would have happened.

*Sigh* :rolleyes:

BB_Eye 26-11-2010 03:08 PM

Silly, the police are bending over backwards not to offend the Islamic community when their precious time could be spent on more important matters.

And yes, the law banning 'incitement to religious hatred' is stupid and illiberal too and should be repealed.

Shasown 26-11-2010 03:11 PM

Pretty stupid of her really, but hopefully something good would come out of it.

If she is prosecuted and punished it then sets a standard in law which has to be honoured. The next time radical muslims burn a copy of the Bible then the same standards have to be applied to them, if not double standards have then been shown to apply to UK law and the girl can them claim for a removal of the conviction and compensation.

Grimnir 26-11-2010 03:14 PM

maybe the girl read a bit about Mohammed and his little girl bride, this brought back some bad memories, so she thought :shocked:

BUUUUUUURN EEEEEEEEEEEEET

They have to arrest,
thanks to 13 years of New Labour changing England.


War Criminal Blair changed the rules

Okay then, lets arrest every ignorant, rude and disrespectful teenager, because apparently that's breaking the law now.

Yes, but this is being ignorant, rude and disrespectfull to a whole religion... it's a bit different.

The point of the thread is that muslims are always burning numerous copies of the bible with no consequence

And? Two rights does not make a wrong. You seem to forget these are Muslim EXTREMISTS who have burned the bible - not normal muslims. This is some stupid teenage girl who gets what she deserves, I doubt she even understand the Muslim faith.

Pft. Religion shouldn't have carte blanche to be respected by non believers.

I myself believe in space wolves. They can't be proven to exist, but they visit me each night and tell me to dropkick people in the face and that bread is sacred and not to be heated.

Don't make toast.

Respect my beliefsz ~~~.

See how riddiculous it is?

Facts are the only thing that should be respected.

I'm pretty much the same mindset as this (but I dont believe in space wolves...worshipping moomins is more my thing :joker:). But I also think if they are going to punish one, they should punish others for the same thing, otherwise its not really very fair and is prejudice in a way :/

Tom4784 26-11-2010 07:28 PM

I'm not surprised by this story at all, I live near that area and it's pretty much what I'd expect from there.

Then let you perish in canine hell, along with all the other non believers and people deemed unfit to join the ranks of the Grand Party by Big Daddy Wolfenstein.

True. But stuff like this doesnt exactly help people get out of that mindset...
