Looks like you would have to go as far as this to end up being sent to prison in this country.
Does religious or faith hate crime happen here?
Yes, it does…
A man was sent to prison for 70 days after he shouted abuse about Muslim
people as he set fire to a copy of the Koran in the centre of Carlisle.
The judge told him ”This is a case of theatrical bigotry, pre-planned by you”.
“You stole the book and went out with the deliberate aim of causing
maximum publicity, and the maximum distress for people of the Islamic
faith.”
“People are entitled to protest in this country, it is a free country, but you are
not entitled to do it in such a way as it will inflame”.
The man had pleaded guilty to racially/religiously aggravated intentional
harassment and the theft of the Koran from Carlisle library at an earlier hearing.
