Australia Pastors Convicted for ‘Vilifying Islam’

[juliagoolia]

CBN.com – Two Christian Pastors in Australia have been found guilty of "vilifying" Islam in a major ruling by a legal tribunal.

The judge decided that the seminar on Islam held by pastors Danny Nalliah and Daniel Scot was hostile and demeaning to Muslims. But Scot and Nalliah say they’ll keep fighting by appealing their case in Australia’s federal court. They hope a judge will strike down Victoria state’s racial and religious tolerance act.

The controversial law allows a person to sue if he feels he’s been humiliated by another race or religion.

This is so fitting. "Madrases"(sp) are not OK even if they are Christian Madrases teaching hate. Good for Australia, we need a similar law here.

I know this might be more than 48 hours but its pretty current and probably missed by other DU users.
