A man has been arrested after a Koran was allegedly burned during an anti-Islamic rant. Police confirmed a man had been held. He had reportedly been standing in Carlisle city centre yesterday, loudly making pronouncements against the Muslim religion in front of a large crowd.
The man is then alleged to have set fire to the Koran he was holding before discarding it on the floor and hurrying away. 'Police have seized the remains of the book and a 32-year-old male has been arrested on suspicion of using racially aggravated threatening words or behaviour.
"RACIALLY AGGRAVATED THREATENING WORDS OR BEHAVIOUR"? Fuck me that's a mouthful. If he was making "pronouncements against the Muslim religion", then how can that be 'RACIALLY', threatening? Any second year law student could drive a horse and carriage through that one.
Has it finally come to the point in this country, (UK), where freedom of speech is banned? Have the traditions of the 'Speakers' corner' been extinguished or is it just that the country plods in Carlisle don't know their arse from their elbow? Are the police force in this country, becoming an instrument of State Control? There is a move to get a National Police Force in Scotland, a move I deplore. Cost cutting, as usual, is the Politicians excuse. Either that or, 'improving the service'. Which all means, be it SNP, Tory, Labour or Libdums, more state control. Where will it end?

Day by day, bit by bit our freedoms are whittled away DL, it will not end until there is a mass uprising by the public against the Big Brother state, and that will never happen in my opinion.
So welcome to the new reality, pay your taxes, do as your told, keep your mouth shut and die quietly and cheaply.
Stan - So welcome to the new reality, pay your taxes, do as your told, keep your mouth shut and die quietly and cheaply.
That is exactly what the Bible tells people to do anyway - basically give your money to the Emperor and Church and be happy with your lot even if you are a slave - that is what it was written for, control of the people so I do not understand why a numpty like this does not just burn the Bible, Koran etc together because they are all the same plus they are all just copies of the pagan religions and are all just about worshiping the Sun and the zodiac.
Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Incitement to violence towards non muslims but what would be done about it????
It's Carlisle. Say no more.
Stanners, I don't like to harp, but again you display your origins. The people born in these isles will never, never, give in to an oppressor while there's a breath left in our bodies, unless of course they've got a fucking big gun. :)
Billy, you've got it in one there. Burn the Torah and the Talmud, while you're at it. They are all books of oppression and until people realise that they are just worm food, the myth will continue to exist. I was at my FiL's Catholic funeral the other day and it was all I could do, to stop the service and tell the Priest, a nice guy BTW, what shite he was talking.
Niko, there are many worse examples in the bible. People who live in religious glass houses, shouldn't throw stones, not even at a good neighbourhood stoning.
William, don't talk to me about fucking Carlisle. It once took me 12 hours to get home from Manchester because that bit of the M6 just before the M74 in Cumbria had a serious accident. The cunts had me all over the county in diversions. If it hadn't had been for D&G Police, I'd be there yet!
Assuming that the Koran he burned was his private property the most that he could be convixcted of would be littering. Mind you that conviction would mean he had to pay all the legal fees of the wider case against him for supposed 'racially aggravated threatening words or behaviour'.
Let's hope this guy has a better grasp of the law than others have previously.
