British judge rules that it is legal to criticize Islam. This is a potential timebomb because it will be seen as a betrayal of a tacit understanding between the Leftists and the Islamists: the deal was votes for special status.
At a preliminary hearing held by video link at the London Central Employment Tribunal in July of this year, Employment Judge David Khan ruled that Mr Lee had established that he genuinely held the pleaded belief, which meets the definition of a 'protected belief' under section 10(2) of the Equality Act 2010.
The judge wrote: 'I do not find that these tweets and the pleaded belief are mutually exclusive. Nor incompatible.
'I find that the claimant's evidence in relation to these tweets, that he was inveighing against the offending doctrines and practices because they continued to be treated as authentic and officially sanctioned by Islamic leaders, was not inconsistent with the pleaded belief.'
