Interesting. And, yet, they won't arrest Muslim clerics that recite sentences from the Qur'an that alienate Muslims and Christians.

Christian preacher arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin

A Christian street preacher was arrested and locked in a cell for telling a passer-by that homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God.

Don't they? I take it Abu Hamza doesn't ring any bells, then.

Brain is from Canada. But the confusion is understandable. All he ever does is post links bitching about the US.

Some douche bag claims homosexuality is a sin, or that the holocaust was a tea party, there are a number of reasonable courses of action -- ignore him, laugh at him, heckle him, fart in his general direction -- none of which involves making a mockery of law and order.



(I'm not implying that law and order isn't ordinarily a mockery of itself, but let's focus on one issue at a time.)

Well then maybe you should avoid making statements like 'they won't arrest muslim clerics', huh? He's a pretty major UK religious figure because of his arrest.

A chugger is a charity worker who stands in the street and accosts passers-by in an attempt to get them to sign up to a standing-order donation to the charity. They can be aggressive-so 'chugger' is a contraction of 'charity' and 'mugger'.
