According to Dutch media advisors from the anti-discrimination bureau MiND said that, while homophobic abuse was usually a crime, it was justifiable if you were Muslim due to laws on freedom of religious expression.

They argued that the Koran says it is acceptable to kill people for being homosexual, and so death threats towards gay people from Muslims could not be discriminatory.



There's no question btw

Have I misremembered that the bible has the same sort of putridity within?
Putting to death and all of that abomination stuff?
Looks like yer Koran just got one up on cheek turners everywhere, what a surprise.

It's just the usual Muslim appeasement that we've all became used to. It's the same when we here of sexual assaults on women and the lack of condemnation by feminists (who are lefties). And yes, it's true that the Koran says that "it's acceptable to kill people for being homosexual".

Al Koran died in 1972

[ummmm]

And so does the Bible, Lynn

[naomi24]

Neither the Koran nor the Bible is too keen on homosexuality. However, there is a difference in that, in general, unlike Islam, Judaism and Christianity no longer act upon instructions.

Thank god for that

"A spokesman for the MiND hotline admitted that after “further research” of the issue it had concluded that the complaint had been “unjustly assessed”.

He added that when the complaint involved calling for violence against a particular group, the beliefs of the person making the threats should not matter."

So God made mistakes in creating some people?

Yes I can read TCL.

What is your point?

[THECORBYLOON]

They appear to have reviewed their decision

[sp1814]

"in general, unlike Islam, Judaism and Christianity no longer act upon instructions"

???

In the UK we have different legislation, and this would be a Hate Crime and liable to prosecution.
It is unlikely that a UK Government watchdog would come to the same opinion as the Dutch one did.

[Old_Geezer]

Sometimes it seems you can get away with most things if you claim religious reasons. Well, possibly not if Christian maybe but aside from that.

[EDDIE51]

The Bible forbids Homosexuality and calls it 'Abomination' so Christians must have the same 'right'!

//It is unlikely that a UK Government watchdog would come to the same opinion as the Dutch one did. //

unlikely, yes, but not beyond the bounds of possibility.

[CrapAtCryptics]

The Bible says the meek shall inherit the earth - shall we start killing the non-meek now.

[EDDIE51]

^^ Blessed be the 'Peacemakers' for they shall be called The Children of God!

[Zacs-Master]

I thought he said Cheesemakers.

[THECORBYLOON]

It's actually "piece makers" and the hungry would be grateful for them...
