But would you be OK with it, if the teacher was arrested for a hate crime?

The teacher as far as I know hasn’t been arrested.

Do you know what. I ain’t bothered. I don’t know why a teacher would want to show one to a classroom though. If for no other reason than it was easier not to. All he had to say was that images of Muhammad is considered blasphemy in Islam. Job done, that’s religious education. Not satisfied with that this teacher actively looked for a cartoon image, must have stumbled across how controversial a subject it is given how the two are linked and at no point thought to themselves I better not do that. I’d question that teachers ability to be a teacher.

The rest of your post is just a straw man argument of imagination land of what I may or not think. Hardly the basis for a discussion.

The lesson was on intolerance not blasphemy

I never said it was on blasphemy. Still doesn’t explain why the teacher ever thought it was a good idea.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

For the record, I just don't ever recall seeing Hindus or Sikhs being a pain in the arse about pretty much anything

Other than in Pakistan and India in 1948

Presumably for the same reasons that French teacher did. How long would you put him away for?

Not the question I asked tbf.

It was only a couple of years ago there was an amendment to the law so Sikh’s could carry kirpans without fear of prosecution. Just last year a book had to be withdrawn from the classrooms following protests from Hindus. Also last year Christians protested when a school introduced Yoga classes.

I do agree about my Sikh and Hindu friends for many years but I have to sayI have as many Muslim brothers in work who are quite wonderful people who are people of outstanding character

Living where I live I’ve had the pleasure of living around people of all races and religions. It’s really interesting learning about their culture and how they go about life so differently to us

Yeah but the question you asked is an imaginary situation.
The teacher hasn’t been arrested and neither has their been any suggestion that they will be as far as I know.

How long should he be in prison for his 'hate crime'?

And yet in most ways are exactly the same.

We all eat, shit and pay taxes. You’re right there.

Who’s said it’s a hate crime? Not me. Not the police.

 

[skybluetony176]

It’s quite clear that some people on this thread are as irrational as the people protesting at the gates of the school.

Confusing. I mean it's clear you think he should be sacked, would you stop there? How about those sharing his address and contacts?

Yes having a pretty tame discussion on a football forum is exactly the same as gathering outside a school to intimidate and force your beliefs upon people.

A lot of fuss about Hindu nationalism in India at the moment. Modi shut down tanneries in what many see as an attack on Indian Muslims (clearly Hindus cannot work there).

I'm not a big fan of judging people in groups. I like how most people behave and I dislike how some others do. Muslims aren't terrorists; it's just that some terrorists are Muslims. Other terrorists are Christians; Atheists... It's the terrorist thing that's bad, not the religion.

Still not up for any religion trying to tell non-believers what they can do though.

Is it? I questioned his thinking, that’s all. Those sharing his address and contacts should be dealt with by the law.

are you on about the UK or in general?

 

[skybluetony176]

Then delete your posts.

On what basis? Maybe the posts that accused me of wanting to be everything from sacked to charged with hate crimes should be deleted. Afterall, I have quite clearly not either said or intimidated either of those things.
Like I said. Irrational.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Unlikely but it does raise the question of halal meat. Many non Muslims refuse to eat it or get angry about the prospect of eating it. Just to prove irrationality exists on both sides of the argument.

It's not irrational. It's absolutely barbaric and cruel.

I haven't eaten meat for almost 3 years now, and I wouldn't again. Doesn't mean I want to stop everyone else, but the treatment of animals is a disgrace.

Also, if you think free speech is dangerous. Try living somewhere where there isn't any.

Tony, we're being unfair to you. We should give you more time. Get in touch with Woke HQ, find out what you're supposed to think and get back to us when you've been told your opinion.

What I will say is that we ever met and you were being unfairly attacked, verbally or physically, I would stand up for you - even in the knowledge that you'd have me arrested for a non-crime hate incident under the same circumstances.

Tbf to Big Tone here, predictive text tripped me up there too, but the other way round.

Beats reading schoolkids write about atoms that 'lose elections'. Explains why they were coloured in red I suppose.

I don’t think anyone is trying to convert them to Islam.

Whataboutery and the strawman manouevre in one sentence. Impressive.

Think you’ve missed the point here. I think the whole episode here is absurd from start to finish. Your reference to ‘social justice warrior’ is too because it’s irrelevant.

Instead of parents/religious leaders kicking up a stink...if they were really serious about the issue then they’d send someone from the local Muslim community into school to explain and educate as to why it was deemed offensive, and it wouldn’t have needed to go any further.

It’s no more barbaric than any slaughter of meat. You just don’t have what goes on in abattoirs rammed down your throat like you are when it comes to halal meat.

Free speech is not free of consequences, such as the right to be offended from that free speech. You could also argue that the protesters are also demonstrating they’re right to free speech.
