Scotland Jails Man for 10 Months for Putting Bacon on Mosque Doors

Freedom! No sorry. You’re thinking of a different Scotland.

The Chairman of the Edinburgh and Lothian Regional Equality Council, Foysol Choudhury MBE, is delighted that a 25-year-old Edinburgh man has been given a 10-month jail sentence for offending Muslims, and declared: “All religions are to be respected.”

Stilwel admitted breach of the peace. Speaking after sentencing, Choudhury said:

“I really welcome the sheriff’s decision to impose a jail sentence in this case. We live in what is always called a ‘multi-cultural society’ and I think we need to work together and prove that is true.”

“We need to respect everyone’s religion or culture, whatever it may be. Hopefully a sentence like this will act as a lesson to show people that all religions need to be respected.”

Sending someone to jail doesn’t teach respect. It intimidates. Which is what he really means.

The court heard that Islam prohibits its followers from consuming pork products made and that Stilwel’s actions “offended people at the mosque”.

Following the “attack”, Stilwel admitted to police officers that he was aware his behaviour could cause offence.

Sentence on Stilwel, an inmate at the city’s Saughton jail, had been deferred by Sheriff Liddle to obtain reports about the offender’s character. He told Stilwel that a prison sentence was “inevitable”.

I thought of that but I had to stimulate the call to prayer. The only thing I could come up with was tying a string to the cat’s tail and giving it a yank. That made the cat quite cross.

Sheriff Liddle has no doubt received his politically correct medal. It certainly beats having to present his posterior up in the air five times a day though.

It is many years since I visited Killiecrankie Pass in Scotland. One of Scotland's religious and civil wars in which Bonnie Dundee gained his greatest triumph. At the height of the battle Dundee was felled by a musket ball.

Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can
Come saddle my horses and call out my men
Unhook the West Port and let us gae free
For it's up with the bonnets o' Bonnie Dundee

Irrespective of the cause, John Graham of Claverhouse; Viscount Dundee was willing to die for his beliefs. Today some officials in the UK are willing to persecute their own countrymen for someone else's cause.

“We need to respect everyone’s religion or culture”

Especially Islam above all others is what that means.

Ridiculous sentence. He could have been given a suspended sentence or even an earlier caution instead of a formal charge.

If only he had raped a student he’d only get three months.
