Australian Charged With Making a Video "With the Intention of Inciting Contempt, or Revulsion or Ridicule" of Muslims, Faces 6 Months In Prison

On Monday, I'm looking at 6 months jail for offending Muslims in a Facebook post. Big turning point for Australia if I'm convicted of this.

From The Age:

Mr Cottrell has been charged with helping make a video "with the intention of inciting serious contempt for, or revulsion or severe ridicule of" Muslims on October 4, 2015. 

He has previously said on social media website Facebook that he was charged over an incident in which UPF members filmed themselves beheading a dummy with a knife outside the Bendigo council's office in a protest against plans to build a mosque. 

The video reportedly shows the dummy spilling fake blood on to the pavement, and men shouting "Arabic" phrases. 

Fellow UPF members Christopher Shortis 45, and Neil Erikson, 32, were also charged over the video.

Please don't offend the Muslims.
