Charity-blackmailer Stephen Green of Christian Voice, who wants to ban abortion, reintroduce the death penalty, make divorce more difficult, stop sex education in schools, “prohibit indecent displays and the use of obscene language and violence on stage, on screen and in literature, art and broadcasting”, remove charitable status from bodies promoting religions other than Christianity, and outlaw homosexuality (among other things), has branded the proposed Incitement to Religious Hatred Act as “illiberal”.

Muslims want this law so they can stifle legitimate criticism of their religion. We are also concerned that if stirring up religious hatred becomes law we could be prosecuted for preaching the Gospel, if such preaching criticised another faith, or indeed a lack of faith.

The measure is illiberal and will be counter-productive in relations between faith groups.

Incredibly, he’s actually right this time.
