hence called 'mentally diseased'or 'demonised'could become illegal as either slander and/or come under the hate crime laws. I don't know what others think?
I certainly agree with Datadog that muslim extremism is pushing it more to the forefront politically and it's bound to get caught up in any legislation against religous extremism.
Here's the reality.
As much as we feel strongly about the WTS and that they once called Apostates "mentally diseased", it's not really that big a deal in the grand scheme of things is it?
First, some Apostates are freakin' nuts. So it's a valid claim (unless they said "all").
Second, have you any idea what a real hate crime is? Not the PC nonsense that get's promoted by the right xenophobic media. Real hate crimes are way more than just calling someone a name.
I don't think we will get anywhere or get anything other than laughter by trying to equate the behavior of ISIS with the WTS calling people mental. And if they are not going to take action against the far more radical religions of the world with a hard message of killing ... why do we imagine the WTS will be a target for them?
Yes, we can take advantage of people's focus on "religious intolerance" but I think we need to think seriously about some of our claims otherwise they just make us look like crazies.
