I think we all know you don't buy a copy of the Koran to study it and then decide to film yourself burning it and posting the film on Facebook just because you don't like it, without any idea of the effect that might have on some Muslims - it's an act of hate, not an intellectual protest.

You're wrong about offending not being against the law. It clearly is against Danish law to offend when the basis of offending is religious, or they wouldn't have a law that permits charging him.

Inciting violence is also an act of hate and equally deserving of prosecution. Carrying it out is worse. If I could, I'd prosecute them all.

Thank God we don't follow Danish law. Freedom of expression is important or we live in a fascist state. If a Muslim wants to burn a bible on video, let him. If he calls for the killing of infidels, prosecute
 
I see the BBC are quick to say there are 10 assaults in Germany on immigrants everyday. Strange they keep quiet on riots and assaults committed by the immigrants themselves

Or the scores of woman that have been sexually assaulted by immigrants over Christmas?
 
Do you mean, what will their complaint be? I'm expecting the evening to start with Madonna calling for the White House to be bombed so Obama can be reinstalled, and things will go down from there.

Do you think Trump is a good President Goldie? He'll probably ban next year's Oscars if there's any dissent tonight.

The jury's out, Strolls, but there's truth in what he says about false news including relevant and deliberate omissions that may distort certain media outlets' intended narrative. The populace of a number of countries is waking up to it , and we may see the effects in Europe this year.

I love watching the Oscars but I cannot be bothered this year because it is going to be a 'Hypocrite fest". Every other speech will be 'anti-Trump'.

For ****'s sake Goldie, he and Bannon have got fake news off to a tee. The man lies every time he opens his mouth, and he bans from press conferences anyone that won't promote his bullshit. How can you fall for this bollocks?

Some of the reporting against him was been hugely biased in favour of Clinton. The BBC claims to be impartial, yet from John Sopel's nightly report, you'd think Trump was Hitler. He's not. I support a free press, but it's interesting that such is the loaded agenda fed to the public by the media elite in the US, polls are showing they trust Trump more than the press and TV outlets. And I think the cynicism is spreading

It's called populism, mate - 'You and me against the world'. The polls may be right in that people trust Trump more than the media. It doesn't mean they are right to, though. Try googling 'Clinton *****phile ring'. This **** was put out by Bannon during the election campaign and some dumb ****s will have believed it.
 
This is old, but I've only just seen it. Very funny...

It's a joke Ellers.
 
Ok you got me, I made it all up. <doh>

Did I say it was given by Trump?
Yes, you said "The man lies every time he opens his mouth, and he bans from press conferences anyone that won't promote his bullshit." and then you post the Telegraph news article in your defense. The news article wasn't referring to either a Press Conference or Trump. Not sure why you made it all up.
