A gagging order too far

If it becomes illegal to criticise religious belief, we will lose a
precious freedom. And that will not help Muslims

Being a Muslim, especially a Muslim woman, in Britain is for many a
dispiriting and occasionally terrifying experience. The society that
prides itself on tolerance has lost its bearings over Islam. On the
streets, the prejudice that Islam is irrationally and murderously
violent and menacingly foreign has spawned a subculture of hatred and
abuse. If you are a woman in a hijab, being jeered at, even spat at, is
routine. Many never venture from their houses.
