The Archbishop of Canterbury, the guy who calls the birth of Jesus Christ a ”legend," is reaching out yet again with this wonderful idea:
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has called for new laws to protect religious sensibilities that would punish “thoughtless and cruel” styles of speaking.
Dr Williams, who has seen his own Anglican Communion riven by fierce invective over homosexuality, said the current blasphemy law was “unworkable” and he had no objection to its repeal.
But whatever replaces it should “send a signal” about what was acceptable.
This should be done by “stigmatising and punishing extreme behaviours” that have the effect of silencing argument.
I give you three guesses as to which religion this will be applied against, and the first two do not count. ‘Dr.’ Williams has dropped the soap yet again. None of us have the right to not be offended, and many European politicians insist on legislating away hate speech, as distateful as it is; that is why Europe is dying and that is not how you fight it.
