What they " allegedly " said is fact.
Do you not get that?
My " ignorant " comment is fact too, he was known to have had sex with underage girls, how would you feel if it were your daughter?
I am not confused at all Xaccers, do grow up, it is apparent from the upcoming court case that some people do have less rights than others.
It is seen as fair play for muslims to say what they wish about the christian faith with no action taken, can you not see that either?
Feel free to explain why, given the circumstances, that the title should be changed?
Two sides to every argument Xaccers, which you and some on here seem to ignore conveniently.

Both?
Freedom of speech?
Saaf, is it right that no action is taken over muslim protestors holding blood thirsty placards calling for the death of our troops?
IMO if two people are arrested over a heated debate, regardless what it is about, does it not stink ?
Feel free to answer.

Not wanting to repeat what has already been said, but these people were not just arrested for "defending their faith," they were arrested for public order offences. The doors of the hotel were not firmly shut, as there were other guests who clearly heard what was being said, that makes it a public place. The public order act was enacted to combat, amongst other things, harassment, distress and alarm caused by people behaving in way that would cause such things, obviously this is what is alleged to have happened.
No one here has less rights than any other person and I think it is disingenuous of anyone to suggest that there is.
This whole "paedophile" thing is starting ti get disturbing now. You are doing your utmost to construct a strawman argument out of something that allegedly happened one thousand five hundred years ago. If you want to go that route, I'd be very careful about quoting scripture about "paedophilia, as there seems to have been quite a bit about in the Bible, if I remember correctly. In fact, didn't Lot pimp his own daughter to save himself and his "guests" from being raped? Wasn't that after he made his other daughters pregnant, after raping them himself?
