I am not sure if my link will work, have never done it before.
This is a DM article about the Ramadan prayers in a US park being stopped because someone spread pork over the grass.
The article is the usual childish scrawl but the reader comments are, I don't believe legal. I would really like to be able to take this further, am I just over sensitive?

YABU for spreading that ignorant, nasty shit from one internet site to another really.

Which comment in particular do you think is breaking the law?

theodorakis · 22/08/2012 10:54

I didn't think it was legal to spread religious hatred.

To be fair, i clearly stated what the link was and where it was from. You didn't have to read it or even click on my post.

If nobody ever does anything, these people will continue to behave in this manner, not just commenting in the "paper" but in their day to day lives.

It is not acceptable and if I could get one article stopped with this shit in it, I would be satisfied. presumably these utterly vile human beings have children who go to schools. How can it be acceptable to print this or even entertain it in 2012?

Of course I didn't have to click it but I wanted to, however I still think emailing the link to the PCC for example would have been a better idea Confused

I'm just asking which post in particular you feel is breaking the law.

The laws on freedom of speech and spreading religious hatred are quite blurred I'm afraid.

Sadly, some people will continue to behave and think in this manner because they are pig ignorant and publishing those comments in the Daily Mail, or on Mumnset (as you have) won't change that.

I think you're just being oversensitive to be honest.
