It could be he is thinking of applying for a new more senior position with the religious police in Tehran?
He’d fit right in with them with his apparent views.
Perhaps he should head up the investigation team looking into the murders of Bangladeshi bloggers?
I am sure – under him – such an investigation would go nowhere, just as it has in Bangladesh.
He’d fit right in, in Bangladesh.

They sort of exist because of free speech although the concept had obviously not been invented when they were written. However, in most western countries, the concept of freedom of speech is limited. As far as I know most western countries forbid what is today called hate speech (the denigration of a people as an identifiable group) and advocacy of violence. The Qur’an includes both. It is virulently anti-Semitic in the Jewish sense.

I would like to ask the chief inspector if he thinks its OK for a 6-year old girl to be “married” to a 53 year old man.

Hear hear. I think he should be forced to resign. He clearly doesn’t understand the importance of free speech in a democracy.

It seams Chief Inspector Umer Khan thinks he is still living by rules set out by the Pakistani government.
Just take a look at this section of the PAKISTANI PASSPORT APPLICATION FORM,

(i) I am a Muslim and belive in the absolute and unqualified finality of the prophethood of Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) as the last of the Prophets.
(ii) I do not recognizw any person who claims to be a prophoet in any sense of the word or of any description whatsoever after Muhammad (peace be upon Him) or recognize s uch a claimant as a prophet or a religious reformer as or a Muslim. (iii) I consider Mirza ghulam Ahmad Quadiani to be an imposter Nabi and also consider his followers whether belonging to the Lahori or Quadiani group to be non-Muslim

Obviously, if you give a muslim a position of responsibility and power he will misuse it, because his first loyalty will always be to Islam, its laws and to his fellow muslims. We, our laws and traditions mean nothing to him.

No, it was James Anderton. He claimed that God spoke to him and that gays and lesbians are “swirling in a cesspool of their own creation”. His words.

This was a blog about a police inspector failing to understand free speech, not a case study. The examples given were done so just to show why certain traditions, religions & cultures deserve ‘offense’.

Feel free to write your own blog on ‘actual speech-crime convictions’. Mine was about a clueless cop.
