Which is a strange thing really, because for apparent legal reasons the accused cannot say anything until the case goes to court but the alleged " offended " can.
Odd that all the stuff I have read has come either from the accused or the Christian Institute then..

When people decide to get involved in something so touchy as religious discussions things can get heated, the alleged " offended " apparently gave as good as she got but then decided to sculk off to the police and complain.
It was allegedly said by the accused that mohammed was a warlord, is that not true?
Nice use of the word "Allegedly" there. Do you not think that if she had "Given as good as she got" then the couple would have said that?

The people who decide in court will look at what was apparently said about mohammed and probably scratch their heads wondering why they are even sat where they are that particular day wasting everyones time.
I have read a lot of opinions on other forums over the case and to be honest there is not a lot of sympathy for the alleged " offended "
A lot of people see it as I do, that she has not liked the heat, but instead of getting out the kitchen has decided to, or her husband has persuaded her, to go to the police.
What do you mean "she should have got out of the kitchen"? She should have gone home? Two things wrong with that. 1) She is English (a converted Muslim), so she is in her home country. 2) If she had just had an op, she probably wasn't in much of a condition to travel anywhere.

Actually, the way the story has been presented (which may or may not be accurate) and the reaction to it is symptomatic of the country we live in. The kinds of changes that you describe in the phrase "our national identity is being stripped layer by layer" actually happen in *most* of the countries in the world, not just England.
