"Chilling And Alarming" Labour MP Calls For 'Blasphemy Laws'

@@tasshah8509 Well, it's possible for someone to indulge in racism against a group of people who happen to be Muslims. Just as on the same basis it's possible, say, to do so against groups who happen to be Christians, Jews, Hindus or for that matter, Wiccans. So what? It's not possible to do so in any of those cases merely by virtue of considering and asserting that the persons concerned's particular religion per se, is repulsive. Irrespective of whatever that faith may be.
