Does anyone else understand the difference between on the one hand saying a religion is Evil, plenty of people for instance say Jehovahs Witnesses are evil, and on the other,calling for, or demanding that, anyone who speaks against your chosen religion to be beheaded, killed.

it's quite strange. on the one hand the law worked and the guy that was calling for non muslims to be beheaded was convicted. on the other hand, they failed to convict the bnp guy for the milder ( though still ignorant ) insults about islam that he was making. so now they are talking about making the laws tougher so that he too would be convicted. well, i am a bit suspicious about that and would tend to want to resist it like most comedians want to. a belief should be strong enough to withstand free speech.

Religion is not evil, people use the name of religion sometimes to justify the evil deeds that they do. For example a gun is not dangerous, it is the mind of the person with his finger on the trigger.

It's a media battle between the extremists again, giving all sides a bad name and generalising. The majority of us that have shared aims of living life comfortably and peacefully will overcome the extremists on all sides.
