I don't want to derail another thread with my horrid racist Islamophobia, but what it makes me think is that the Quran surely fills the definition of menacing, and displays great hostility towards a group. Several actually. It also incites violence.

Hmmm....

Someone got in trouble for quoting the Bible recently.

A street preacher who quoted from the Bible has been fined for using “threatening” language.

Mike Overd, 50 and a former paratrooper, quoted from Leviticus on Taunton high street to state that homosexuality is an “abomination”.

He was fined £200 and ordered to pay £1,200 in costs and compensation by Judge Shamin Qureshi, sitting at Bristol Crown Court.

The judge said Overd “knew full well the power of words to hurt” and claimed he could have used other less offensive parts of the Bible to quote from on the issue of homosexuality.

There is lots of argument about what abomination means in the KJ bible. Obviously, over time the meaning of words can and normally do change. When I was a kid I thought it meant big and furry.

Don't get me started on decimate.

Oh yes. We've given you every chance to have the right views and still you don't.

What else is left?

Not sure about 'views' but I would presume her actions and her previous history in relation to sentence options would be taken into account.
