    Well, you're simply wrong. Ireland's attitudes, laws and actions on blasphemy come from a long history of Catholicism.https://twitter.com/garrytomo/status/861264618513203201 …

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

        How goes? My best description: The recent resurgence of Islamism has disrupted an evolutionarily stable state in the religious memepool.

        Also postmodernism promoting subjective truth and mininarratives and undervaluing evidence and reason

        could it be that the "litmus test" of fighting islamophobia have created an environment where blasphemy laws are "to protect sensitivities"?

        the charge came about on the premise that he could cause offense or harm the sensitivity of a community, it is the argument of islamophobia.

        No-one denies that this is done in the name of Islam too & much more widely. In Ireland, tho, it's Catholics making this argument.

        prosecuted under this law since 1885? Yet they haven't revoked it. This tells you something.

        As per the Constitution there has to be a blasphemy law, it would take a referendum to revoke this.

        Really? That's interesting. Is this truly the reason it hasn't been revoked though? Coz I would say; Time for a referendum. 🙌🏻💪🏻✍🏻

        It would seem like this is the perfect time to consider doing it anyway. Apparently it's needed Human rights seem worthy of the time & money

        Yes. We were in the middle of the financial crisis at the time. Hopefully this case will bring it to a head.

        I'm hopeful. I have no idea how many of the Irish people would support revoking this law & how important it would be to them.

        Our law towards blasphemy was supported by our interpretation of a 90~ year old explicitly Catholic constitution and nothing else.

        When was the last time any Catholic tried to get a prosecution for blasphemy?
