The European Court has ruled that calling Muhammad a paedophile does not fall within the freedom of free speech criteria. And an Austrian woman has been fined for “disparaging a religion”.

Now, we should never judge history by today's rules and mores; but today's laws say that you can't libel the dead. Having died around the year 632, I would say that Muhammad has been dead long enough for us not to concern ourselves with his bonking a 9 year old - it is said that he did wait until she was 11.

What a ridiculous ruling by a ridiculous court in a ridiculous, undemocratic European entity. One of many, many reasons why out UK cousins are Brexiting

Yep won't stop the perverted ones on the abc mocking and blaspheming Jesus Christ. Cowards and hypocrites.

ttbn,

Thank You for raising this case. It's an interesting one
concerning the legalities of blasphemy in Europe. It
Should be an interesting discussion - especially seeing
what others think about blasphemy and free speech. Different
religions, different countries, different laws.

No GOD ever existed, there done, that would get me murdered in parts of the world.
Yet it is true

Dear Belly,

You are correct, but why do you consider existence to be a good thing?
Only objects exist, so to claim as if God existed would demote Him to the level of an object - what greater blasphemy could there be?

I only found out recently that blasphemy is still a
crime in Australia - but apparently only against
the Christian religion. You can say what you want
against the other religions.

I'll try to find the link and get back to you.
