        Worth noting that far-right activist and self-described "journalist" Robinson is in prison for violating UK law that limits publicity during trials, something all reporters learn about before ever being allowed to write a story.

        Robinson was jailed for breaching a court order by livestreaming commentary on an ongoing trial. His comments could have caused a mistrial. Robinson pleaded guiltyhttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-44287640 …

        Because criticism of religion falls under religious liberty?

        No because people are not allowed to discuss ongoing trials #subjudice

        They should not get involved. But this framing sounds ignorant. Defending religious freedoms means defending citizens from Govt restricting ones ability to exercise religion freely. It has nothing to do w/private individuals that are bigots

        But you are smart enough to know that so this obviously just not sincere

        Replying to @lawrencehurley @neal_katyal

        The reason is painfully obvious. This person is a "Trumper" and therefore thinks any public display of being anti-muslim helps garner the fake @POTUS's attention and approval. They are all posing for each other, constantly, because it is a game, to them, playing at leadership.

        What these people call religious “freedom”, or “liberty”, has always looked suspiciously to me as freedom to descriminate, in the name of religion. Pretty much the opposite of what they pretend.

        Well maybe because freedom of expression is more important.
