I’ll be chuckling for days about the strange bedfellows that found themselves cosigning that letter…

There was a great quote on the BBC “Have your Say” section:

“The government should be protecting the people from organised religion not protecting organised religion from the people.”

Wish I’d thought of that.

The MCB and other muslim pressure groups.
I can understand why (continued support for labour within their community despite the war – this is their pound of flesh – and also the bnp has been using ‘muslim’ as a synonym for ‘paki’ in their pamphlets, which is why i reckon that they should use the same wording as in the racial hatred bill)

Well, you can’t say this religious hatred bill has not made everyone together to make sure the Government does not stop them from telling each other they are barking mad and wrong!

Considering the near total consensus that this bill is wrong you would thought the government would listen to us? Ah, Iraq…yes…scrap that thought.

And if the bill does not get through this time they are going to invoke the Parliment Act. Just who is really behind this Bill that the Government are willing to walk all over democracy?

I don’t understand why the government hasn’t used the exact same wording in the racial hatred bill, changing only race for religion, or am I being overly simplistic here?
