    You can blame Islam for a lot of things but not Ireland's blasphemy law! It's Catholic through and through!

        A very long history of Catholicism and failing to revoke laws the rest of 'Christendom' has.

        This law was instituted in 2010. It's not something they just left on the books.

        Well, it was softened then coz didn't want to get rid of it entirely.

        Ireland's previous blasphemy law was nullified in 1999. They deliberately re-instituted an anti-blasphemy law 10 years later.

        Because they need to fulfill the constitution originating in Catholicism for one. The aim now is to overturn the constitutional requirement

        No, Ireland's Catholicism is not inspired by Islam. It's always been Catholic.

        I didn't say their doctrine was inspired by Uslam I meant that their actions toward blasphemy were inspired by Islam!

        Im Irish and I can tell you 100% our blasphemy law as it stands now was introduced in 2009 by hard line Catholics. Nothing to do with Islam

        Does Garry have any reason to think Fry was reported by a Muslim rather than a Catholic? Way more of the latter in Ireland!

        Totally unfounded. The suspicion here is the report was made by Catholic zealots who feel marginalised by the increased liberalisation here

        The Catholics have just seen that Islam is wealding its powers without any opposition and wants to get in on the action.
