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

Posted on 08/10/2016 9:09:20 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

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.

Wow, and this is why the First Amendment is so very very important.

islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.

First Amendment: Use it or lose it.

All of us on Free Republic would be in jail in many places in Europe for espousing our politically incorrect opinions. It is for this reason that I no longer give a damn about NATO. Let them drown in their own idiocy. Hopefully, the Euro right will eventually save them. (Note: If Hillary wins, the US will not be far behind.)

Tell me who you are not allowed to criticize and I’ll tell you who owns the politicians.

No freedom to say what you honestly think... how long until UK limits citizens on who you pray to, what work you do, how much can earn, etc...

And, arguably, the 13th… though neither seem to protect photographers and bakers these days.

No, that’s why the Supreme Court is so important.

Libs now say that “hate speech” is non speech.

First Amendment doesn’t protect the ‘natural reaction’ of Muslims for us insulting their ‘Prophet.’

At least that’s what Obama said when apologizing to the world for our First Amendment.

With the interpretation of the First Amendment libs now support, you can shred those rights as well.

Do they throw him in chains if he doesn’t perform the slave work? That is how slaves are treated.

“Don’t come over to this country and treat it like your own. Britain first.”
Slave labor.
Britain is lost, and deserves what is coming to it. In a few years, they will be removing the cross from the Union Jack, and the queen will be bowing down to her new masters.
Americans sacrificed their lives to save the limeys from the nazis, and they then bring in millions of savages-worse than the nazis.

And now we see why it was such a bad idea for England’s slaves to give up their guns.

We lost the 1st when we allowed hate speech laws to be written. You no longer have free speech here in the USA.

And why it's worthless w/o the 2nd Amendment...

So important to get control of our schools too, we need to teach U.S. History and the rights we have. The new batch of kids growing up don’t even know about the constitution.

Trump wants to give control back to the local level. VOTE TRUMP!

If this is true then the UK is already lost unless a WWIII comes along which forces all muzzies to leave Europe entirely. That in itself will be a very bloody battle lasting years do doubt but necessary if Europe is to survive. Same thing for America.

The big mistake too many people make is believing Islam is a religion. It is not nor has it ever been. It is a fanatical cult not deserving any of the protections a true religion has and it has never ever been a religion of peace even if some of its brainwashed followers are both peaceful and believe it to be a cult of peace.

Now if a MP or say even a journalist or person of high profile said this do you think that case would even see a judge? The middle class nobodies are easy targets as they don’t have the means or fame to make a stink about it.
