UK, two men jailed for putting bacon on Mosque doorstep

They deserve it tbh.

Good riddance.

Those guys deserved it. Well done.

I would say the guys deserved it. Absolutely disrespectful and no need.

"Ambaro Maxamed, 24, students Ayan Maxamed, 28, and Hibo Maxamed, 24, and their 28-year-old cousin Ifrah Nur each admitted actual bodily harm, which carries a maximum sentence of five years’ imprisonment.

But Judge Robert Brown gave them suspended jail terms after hearing mitigation that as Muslims, the women were not used to being drunk. The Koran prohibits Muslims from consuming alcohol, although Islamic teachings permit its use for medicinal purposes.

After the sentencing, Ambaro Maxamed wrote on her Twitter account: ‘Happy happy happy!’, ‘I’m so going out’, and ‘Today has been such a great day’."

It's a matter of perspective, I think the system failed by allowing a religion to encroach on everyone else's freedoms to begin with and these men were not only right, but that greater measures should be taken to humble the adherents of Islam.

The simple fact is that this religion has been given more rights than any other in our societies, news stations will not depict blasphemous images, politicians will grovel when their adherents kill non-believers. people will be thrown in jail for being deliberately offensive, people from their communities will have the police actively cover up crimes, I could go on.

If you cannot see this very serious and very real position of power that Islam and Muslims are now in, then you are lost and I cannot help you.

So the 50%+ of Muslims in the UK that believe homosexuals should be dragged before a magistrate and sentenced are beyond our help then, what should we do with them ?

Throwing bacon on private property could technically be considered littering and shouting abuse could possibly be considered harassment. Although we don't know what comments were made, it does seem to have been an unprovoked attack and they do seem to have crossed a line. So in this case, I don't think it is religion encroaching. I do not see why I should have the freedom to throw my rubbish on someones property or shout abuse at someone.



I do perceive religious infringements on our freedoms a serious problem, but I don't think this case is an example. I have been a vocal proponent of people having the freedom to draw blasphemous images (including pictures of Muhammad). When religions do encroach on our freedoms, I will condemn it.

He has a history of violence and racism on multiple occasions. That is just a quick google search.

On this occasion, he shouted racial abuse at passer-bys.

Why did he go to the mosque? Probably to incite violence or at the very least extreme aggravation.

So, he should go to jail.

The only reason why you are saying otherwise, is because you have no empathy for victims of racial abuse.

Nobody is condoning what this man did, but you have to admit that 9 months in prison for those things is a tad extreme.

No it is because I don't place idiots being idiots as a reason to jail someone.

Despite what you think jail isn't handed out for every little crime.

what punishment would you propose?

Clearly our government has it's priorities in check, 'we needs to fight Islamophobia to stop Muslims killing us' seems to be the sentiment. Maybe if we bend over far enough to institutionalize their religious laws they wont feel the need to by violence.

Yet Muslim rapists have gotten off with nothing, claiming cultural ignorance, for attacking young girls. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2268395/Adil-Rashid-Paedophile-claimed-Muslim-upbringing-meant-didnt-know-illegal-sex-girl-13.html
