    No ideology should be protected from criticism, I thought that we all agreed on that at least those cultures that are based on a greco roman foundation

      Sure. But things like gender, sexuality, race ect aren't ideologies.

    Very interesting download; thank you for this; attempts have been made over many years by various British legislature processes to make religious identity a kind of race-based grouping with a legal status and lawful protection as such and all that it involves; I am no lawyer to deeply understand such matters. Race by religion?

    This is a troubling development legally, for friends of free speech, no matter how well intentioned. The British Isles seem to lead the English-speaking world with these laws but here in the U.S. things are also heating up with the debate. Incidentally, I remember something about the Monty Python debate.

    Simply put no.
    The most important distinction between section 29 and the old blasphemy laws is that section 29 deals with incitement of hatred towards PERSON(S) whereas the old blasphemy laws dealt with the disrespect of a Christian deity. The two laws don't really compare.
    Also all this about section 29 being some sort trojan horse for further supposed infringements of free speech is fear-mongering of the worst sort.
