Ireland's Blasphemy Law
Don't you just love the accent?
Now in Ireland, insult a Christian, pay a fine of 25,000 Euros. While many legal authorities claim the new Irish law is written so narrowly that it is unlikely anyone will ever be prosecuted, please remember that, based on charges of blasphemy, Monty Python's Life of Brian was banned in the Republic of Ireland for eight years.
The new law is meant to protect fragile religious ideas from the big bad wolves of free thought and free speech.
