Scotland’s New Transgender ‘Hate Crime’ Law Already Showing How It Leads to Tyranny
Daily Signal ^ | April 12, 2024 | Jarrett Stepman

Scotland’s new “hate crime” law already is demonstrating how it will be used to squash dissent and free speech.

The so-called Hate Crime and Public Order Act, which went into force in Scotland on April Fools’ Day, adds age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and transgender identity to a list of protected classes.

The law provides for various potential punishments, including jail time.

The new law has been fiercely criticized by author J.K. Rowling, creator of the “Harry Potter” series, and many others who rightly see it as an attack on the freedom of speech.

Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf said the bill is about “protecting people from a rising tide of hatred.” But who will protect the people’s God-given right to free speech?

There you go folks. No one wants to talk about the elephant in the room. When you import Islamists who have no allegiance to your nation and disregard your culture, this is what you'll get.

It doesn’t just lead to tyranny; it is, by its nature, an act of tyranny.

not to mention the only difference between a muslim and a radicalized muslim is how devoutly they are willing to follow their own religious beliefs.

Don’t listen to any Scottish leftists complaining about Putin being undemocratic.

And I was about to travel to Scotland and tell a joke about an old blind gay Muslim man who dresses like a woman. I suppose I should cancel my flight now.

🤔
