This is breathtakingly, mind-bogglingly, stupefyingly insane. In Australia a couple of years ago, they passed something called the "Racial and Religious Tolerance Act". Now, a Christian group is suing, under this act, to have Islam declared illegal:
Islam was an illegal religion because the Koran preached violence against Christians and Jews, a Christian group told a judge yesterday. ... The group's barrister, David Perkins,... told the Victorian and Civil Administrative Tribunal that if the state's new religious hatred law intended to fetter the teaching of Christian doctrine it was invalid.Victoria's Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001 referred to lawful religion, and it was in that sense, he said, that by preaching violence Islam was disqualified. "The Koran contradicts Christian doctrine in a number of places and, under the blasphemy law, is therefore illegal," he said.
File under "War is Peace", I suppose.
