Britain Cracks Down On Hate

Wed 08/31/05

Britain outlined tough new rules for “preachers of hate,” who promote or glorify terrorism. It seems like they should maybe define what they’re talking about a little better. “Fosters hatred that threatens to lead to ethnic violence?” is a bit ambiguous. How do you prove that? (And what sort of impact would this have on Christianity, a religion that is often called intolerant and hateful these days?)

  1. yes, that is scary. we tend to think it only applies to muslims; when in fact it could be used against anything that someone says is “hate speech”. just you wait, it’ll soon be a proposed law here — ugh.
