Foreverwar, are you aware of the purpose of the act that the couple had been arrested under?
Because if you did this whole thing should not be now costing ( a ) the tax payer for upcoming court proceedings and ( b) imo a complete waste of police resources.
You asked if someone believed that all that was said was what has been quoted in the press.
So, are you suggesting that far more offensive words were used than the couples feelings about the islamic religion?
The act that the couple were arrested under, imo, was not brought in to deal with personal conversation or debate with views firmly expressed, if someone is in a discussion they can at any time say " Do you know what? I do not like what is being said here " and walk away.
What has to be remembered also, is the police have a duty to defend free speech, and they may be ignoring that.
My own thoughts are when this case does hit the court it will be thrown out, if there is any sense left in this country it will be.
Just a final thought, a christian may say " I would die for my belief "
A muslim may say, " You will die for my belief "
Before people jump on what I have said, please note the use of the singular.
