Can you define "large" and please, clearly, define "Muslim".

Thank you.

Well - it's not a few dozen - we're talking about 10s of 1000s.

So a few thousand is a year is "relatively great" when compared to general immigration numbers?

Gilding the lily is one thing, embedding the poor flower in metres of solid gold is another...

Fact's people!

Try facts rather your bombastic and fundamentally flawed statements.

The ease by which you can be proved to be distorters, liars and mis-representer's (sic) is embarrassing to which ever flavour of fantasy based politics you claim to belong to...

Sit down and consider actually living in the moment and appreciating the reality of today rather than the diminutive dream world you wish to inhabit...

Would you also like us to define 'number', or can you figure that one out for yourself?

When was this law made?


2001

Charged under S 25 (2)....

(2)     A person must not, on the ground of the religious belief or activity of another person or class of persons, knowingly engage in conduct with the intention of inciting serious contempt for, or revulsion or severe ridicule of, that other person or class of persons.

Note

"Engage in conduct" includes use of the internet or e-mail to publish or transmit statements or other material.

Penalty:     In the case of a body corporate, 300 penalty units;

In any other case, imprisonment for 6 months or 60 penalty units or both.

    (3)     For the purposes of subsections (1) and (2), conduct—

        (a)     may be constituted by a single occasion or by a number of occasions over a period of time; and

        (b)     may occur in or outside Victoria.

    (4)     A prosecution for an offence against subsection (1) or (2) must not be commenced without the written consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

So Victoria has made it illegal to mock religious people?

Was this something to do with 9/11?

I suppose it would be the same as
Muslims holding a mock crucifixion outside a proposed church.

Christians hold mock crucifixions all the some. Some a little less mock than you would expect. Christianity has been the butt of jokes, and an increasingly hostile political atheism, for decades.

Yes FD,
Religious numbers are declining -
maybe it's all those pedophiles in churches?

Quote:
A 2013 Roy Morgan poll indicated that non-religious Australians comprised approximately 37% of the population.

In this case, yes. Would you be whinging if a muslim was making an anti Christianity video and police charged them with the same crime?

Muslims make anti Christian videos all the time. Have you ever seen me complain?

In a recent discussion with Gandalf, Gandalf expressed his support for charging the Muslims holding up the beheading placards. I disagreed with him. Unlike you, I am consistent in my views. I don't change my mind about whether a law is good or bad depending on who is getting charged at the moment.

Do you?

nope. I think anyone promoting hatred deserves to go to jail. I don't care what religion they are.
