LLR/RIP: Well I think this proposal is going to backfire, and big time.
because while theoretically speaking the proposal is being developed to protect all religions from insult, but in reality it's being tailored out for just one religion.
one great irony is lost, especially on the majority faith of this region, and that is if such laws would ban news articles,books, and cartoons that "supposedly", defame religion, they would also, by logical extension, have to ban religious preacher that spew hatred from their pulpits. It will also mean that, certain religious text which which is not so friendly towards others, will have to be removed from local school text books. just my 2 cents.
