Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Incitement to hatred is not free speech - if you think so, then you obviously support the rights of racists to terrorise ethnic minorities. Likewise, you support the rights of loyalists to terrorise nationalists. You don't support tolerance, but intolerance.
It is essential that legislation be introduced to ban incitement to religious hatred, because racists will "dress up" their attacks as "criticism" of Islam and other faiths.
Why do so many people who consider themselves 'readers' seem incapable of understanding
that art is something that is there to provoke reaction, to make us question and to read at a level
that is not literal?
Understandably politicians who make their money from copperfastening segregationism
need to read and understand literally- its the nature of the beast and there would be no
profit in it for them otherwise- thats why some of 'em had a 'Love Ulster' march that
led to a riot... but honestly what has happened to this country that the above commentator
cannot read without subjecting everything to literal interpretation. theres death and war
in literalism and in theocractic interpretations- it must just suit some to have phoney
wars and excuses to hate others....
Reading through the back issues of the magazine, there are no examples of incitement to hatred. That's not what this article is about. It only briefly mentions the debated legislation as a side issue.
