The Irish passed the Defamation Bill today (blasphemy law) !
In theory insulting a religion in Ireland from today is a criminal offence and carries a €25,000 fine.
Fucking medieval legislation.

Some religious prick only needs show he or she has been outraged by what you have said/written/posted/drawn (or any other manner of expression) for them to be able to bring a prosecution.
These are the foothills of thoughtcrime.
