You can now be arrested in the UK for merely watching a video of a Koran burning
UPDATE FROM PASTORIUS: THIS STORY IS FALSE, OR AT THE VERY LEAST, THERE ARE NO FACTS ANYWHERE TO BACK IT UP. IF YOU HAVE OTHER INFORMATION WITH LINKS TO PROVE IT IS TRUE WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU AND POST IT. -- Midnight Rider
from Eye on the World:
(UK) In a disturbing development, Northumbria Police in Gateshead last week arrested two men after they watched and shared a video on Facebook of a man burning the Koran in the US during the recent 9/11 commemoration at Ground Zero in New York.
The men were drinking in the Bugle pub, Leam Lane, Gateshead, when they were arrested after watching and sharing the videos.

Hmmm how about inciting people to kill infidels ?That's not inciting to race hatred?
Outrageous!
This will kill freedom of speech.
We should post Fenton's Koran-burning if we can get a copy.
Three bold steps for the cultural preservation and continuation of the United Kingdom as a free nation:
1. Issue an immediate government edict strongly advising every literate man, woman, and child in the UK to read Jihad Watch (http://www.jihadwatch.org/) for at least one hour a day, Sundays included, until further notice.
2. Initiate a national debate followed by a referendum to clarify and define the precise characteristics of an apparent "invasive totalitarian ideology".
3. Criminalize any effort to restrict or limit the free speech of any person acting in good faith to uphold, preserve, or strengthen western values against the encroachment of an invasive totalitarian ideology.
(regardless of whether or not this particular story is true of false)
Pastorius,
Thanks for letting us know about this. Things are getting bad over there. What on Earth is leading the British Authorities to think this is a good idea? Do they really think that doing this to appease religious nut jobs is a good idea? Far from supporting this, people ought to be outraged.
Hi Guys.
i've been browsing true the local Gateshead online newspaper and i can't find a single story confirming this story.I'm also inclined to think it's a hoax story there seems to be only one source for this story.

Will,
what about inciting Infidels to kill non-Infidels? So far, there's no taker.
Thanks for fixing that for me, MR.
