Two Christian pastors were convicted in Australia for vilifying Islam

From Belmont club:

The Sydney Morning Herald reports:
In Victoria, two hellfire Christian preachers, Danny Nalliah and Daniel Scot, are facing jail after preaching against Islam in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Ever since, they've been fighting an action brought by the Islamic Council of Victoria under the state's new Racial and Religious Tolerance Act.


That's not too surprising. Everyone knows Oriana Fallaci is facing charges before an Italian magistrate for her criticisms of Islam. What about this: a French member of parliament has been convicted in court of making derogatory remarks about homosexuality.

For those Americans who take comfort in our constitutional guarantee of free speech, please keep in mind that "speech codes" can get you expelled from school if you say, do or even think the wrong thing.
