J&M pointing out the problem with enshrining blasphemy into law. Hate speech against PEOPLE is one thing and already covered by our laws, but, satirizing or criticizing Islam (or any religion) is simply attacking an IDEA that you don't agree with or that you wish to change or reform, pointing out the FACTS of a religion, culture or holy books is simply observation, foundational for any sensible conversation. Ideas and Facts are things that cannot have "hate speech" directed at them and never could. Some Muslims need to get to grips with these principals and concepts if they are to roll along with the rest of us here in the West, I'm sure they can find enough real examples of prejudice and discrimination in their lives that they don't need to invent imaginary ones too.
