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 sheriffs 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 everyones 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 Stilwels 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 citys Saughton jail, had been deferred by Sheriff Liddle to obtain reports about the offenders character. He told Stilwel that a prison sentence was inevitable.

One day Scotland will wish they all had bacon to put on Mosque doors.
Obonzo and his peephole loves deeply Bacon.Yeah its good.
Open up a pretend mosque and maybe you will get lucky lol.
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.
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.
There should be a fundraiser held for this guy.
But I bet your cat would make the prettiest sound Obama ever heard.
Kind of?
I’m offended when they slice a living neck on a living body.
Fill paintballs with bacon grease?
We need to respect everyones religion or culture”
Especially Islam above all others is what that means.
...is that it's full of Muslims!
We need to re-incarnate Sir Francis Bacon to lead the fight against Islam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Excuse me?.
Referring to the ridiculous sentence handed down by a judge.
Ah ok, I thought you had read some Scottish/British case where rape got 3 months.
No, sadly as they say “only in America”.
