Should Azhar Ahmed had been arrested and charged over his inappropriate Facebook comments?
Perhaps some should now be careful of the comments they make on AnswerBank?

You earlier wrote;
/// The posters say, "Death to those who insult Islam"...however, that's too vague a threat. ///
So how come Azhar Ahmed poster which begins 'All soldiers .........
Isn't that also a 'too vague a threat'?
I think you explanation for not charging those Muslim protesters "because their threats were too vague", doesn't seem to work somehow.

I don't have an answer to that.
You're may be right, in that the protestors' placards are as inflammatory as Azhar Ahmed's, but perhaps because he's referring to the six murdered soldiers directly, you could lay the charge of outraging public decency, because Ahmed is referring to people who have just died and are readily identifiable.

I don't care who is offended by what I say. We are all different and all have different views.
I think all criminals should be hung. Most don't think like that. I also think the pc brigade shoukld be wound down and this givernment removed and replaced by a true peoples government (no Labour or Conservatives or Lib Dems).
The problem is that too many are too afraid to say boo to a goose. Many in this country are gutless spineless individuals who pander to the grooming of the state.
There will never be an apology from me on what I have to say.

Threats to kill. Offences Against the Person Act 1861 section 16.
"..without lawful excuse makes to another a threat intending that that other would fear it would be carried out, to kill that other or a third party" is guilty of an offence.
That may explain why the individuals referred to were not prosecuted for that offence. The section does not contemplate wide general threats, but a threat made to another with the intent that he would fear that he, or a third party, would be killed. 'Or a third party' is to accommodate such cases as hostage taking.
