Doesn't matter that I wasn't part of the conversation, or even if I was the other side of the room, they broke the law, I can chose to report them for it.

But this looks like a case of X starts an discussion/argument with Y, X insults Y's religion but Y brushes it aside and isn't fascist and so doesn't complain. Y then says something in reply which X deems insulting and complains to the Police. It wasn't a third party who reported it, it was a participant in the discussion.
