Religious protections around Islamophobic speech 'outrageous' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rita Panahi says that the call by some Islamic Imams for further religious protections to be made around Islamophobic speech is a 'blasphemy law of sorts' and is 'outrageous'.\n\nAccording to the Friday Show host, a number of consecutive polls indicate 'one in two people' echoes the sentiments of TV presenter Sonia Kruger who received heavy criticism for comments about pausing migration from Islamic countries.\n\n'I escaped an Islamist country where you get locked up for blasphemy and the last thing I want to see is these sort of laws that make people afraid to criticise religion,' Ms Panahi said.\n\nImage: AP RitaPanahi We have a weak government & a largely ignorant, apolitical population. A well organised Moslem push to criminalise an invented mental condition, 'Islamophobia', would would enable Moslems to use litigation jihad to render all opposition to the Islamic expansion project illegal. RitaPanahi In return for being free to express its religious beliefs, the beliefs of a religion cannot be free from criticism. Blasphemy laws have no place in a civilised modern country. If SloMo & his Turnbull lites try to prevent criticism of religions they will go the way of their patron RitaPanahi RitaPanahi Speaking truth right there. When are we gonna see freedom of speech as an express right in our constitution?
