New Zealander bar manager Philip Blackwood faces Myanmar court over Buddha insult.

I do hope we shall see the usual condemnations of religion, from the usual crowd over this assault on Freedom of Speech?   Afterall, they seem to not like it when Muslims get upset about insults to their religion.  Obviously they won't be sectarian and will equally condemn the Buddhists for this and demand that all Buddhist temples be razed to the ground and all Buddhists be deported from Australia immediately!   ;D ;D ;D :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D

And "summary executions".

Don't forget "summary executions".

Hi John *waves*.

Given the sheer amount of muslim terrorist attacks worldwide compared to the buddhists they probably haven't got the time to get around to them.

Its a shame the Quaran teaches all muslims to be violent and terrorists.

That's in Burma - a Buddhist country -

what did he expect?

Before 1989, people in English-speaking states liked to tell each other that, unlike the poor wretches behind the Iron Curtain, they couldn’t have their collar grabbed by a police officer for saying the wrong thing. Yet they are now regularly arrested for such offences as quoting Bible verses that might offend gay people, or being rude about jihadi extremists.
