So the " Bigotted " opinions were only one way were they?
People are entitled to stay where they want, but if i decided to convert to the muslim faith I would look into the history.
I dont recall it being a place only white christians go, maybe I read the wrong papers hey?
But again, freedom of speech is a two edged blade, do you agree on that?
Waiting....

Stuart, all we know about what happened is what we are being force fed by the press.

True, although they aren't force feeding it (nor could they).

I read that the attack on the muslims faith came during a debate between the two parties.
Different papers will tell us different things.
All I do know is that if I enter into such a debate as religion things will get heated.
But why should it be ok for one religion to be slagged off without fear of retaliation?

It's not OK (which is actually why I made the point about Christianity), but what we have seen in the papers suggests that the Christians did all the attacking. I am not saying they did: I do not know.
This is why I said that the thread title is possibly inaccurate. Based on what we have seen so far, there is no evidence to suggest they were defending their beliefs

What actually happened will only come out in Court, which to me is a sad indication of where we are in this country when you're not allowed to voice your opinion, no matter what has been said to provocate such a response.

You are allowed to voice an opinion. You just have responsibilities that go with that right (something that has not actually changed).
We don't know what was said in that argument, but for it to go to court, I suspect it was a lot more serious than just some random comments about Mohammed being a warlord and bondage. I am sure Derek could tell you just how hard it can be to get CPS to prosecute a case.
