UK: Man sentenced to slave labor for “grossly offensive” “anti-Muslim” remarks
Jihad Watch ^ | AUGUST 10, 2016 | ROBERT SPENCER

What did Stephen Bennett say? “Don’t come over to this country and treat it like your own. Britain first.” Other than that, all we get are vague characterizations of what he wrote, as apparently the Manchester Evening News doesn’t want to be hauled up on charges itself for reporting about what he said. So we hear instead that “one comment he made concerned Asian women, another was likely to be offensive to Muslims.”

For that, he got “a 12-month community order, with 180 hours’ unpaid work.” Unpaid work is slave labor. For the crime of offending Muslims. It doesn’t appear, at least from this report, that he called for any violence; he was just grousing and saying that Muslims in the UK should obey UK laws, which is a perfectly reasonable demand.

By punishing Stephen Bennett for this, Britain has shown that it is no longer a free country, but a country ruled by dhimmis anxious to bow to their Muslim overlords. If Muslims in Britain make remarks that non-Muslims consider “grossly offensive,” would they be prosecuted and sentenced to slave labor? What do you think?

Said Bennett: “Is this about that Muslim thing on Facebook? I’m getting locked up for sticking up for my own country.” Quite so.

Note also how everyone concerned discusses whether or not Bennett is a “racist.” What race is Islam again? What race is jihad? No matter how many times I’m told, I can never remember.

You got that right. The American left would love to follow this example in the U.S. - First Amendment be damned.

You guys have massive defamation awards; however, the standards are much higher to win a suit. Here, judges love to clutter the courts with frivolous defamation suits. The US had a major victory where the Ventura’s suit was overturned against Kyle. (now deceased). The US also doesn’t have human rights tribunals. A comic was forced to pay “victims” $40,000 for some “cripple” jokes. Not that jokes about cripples are in good taste, but do we want free speech or not? Also Muslims are NEVER brought before tribunals for THEIR hate speech. Not a single case.

In the end, this kind of thinking will only be defeated on the battlefield.

The basic tenet of Islam “surrender/submit to allah or DIE” is the most offensive statement ever made in the history of the world because it is a threat against humanity and personal freedom of any kind, including freedom of religion. “Surrender/submit or DIE” is a criminal statement of intent to not only murder but to commit genocide against those who refuse to be intimidated and allow violent criminals to dominate themself and others. Freedom from Islam equals the right to right to peace, quiet and equality, et al which Islam does not allow.
