Apparently There’s A Right To Have Your ‘Religious FEELINGS’ Protected

The Left likes to act like Europe is sooooo much better than America because we’re so GOSH DARN OPPRESSED HERE.

GIVE ME A BREAK.

We enjoy freedoms Europe can’t even comprehend. Among those… the First Amendment.

A woman has been CONVICTED for DARING to say Mohammad was a pedophile (He was.) because it might hurt Muslims’ feelings or something.

According to Daily Mail:

The European Court of Human Rights has ruled a woman convicted by an Austrian court of calling the Prophet Mohammed a paedophile did not have her freedom of speech rights infringed.

Which means her “freedom of speech rights” over there are a JOKE.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH MEANS YOUR SPEECH IS PROTECTED – EVEN IF SOMEONE ELSE DOESN’T LIKE IT.

The woman, named only as Mrs. S, 47, from Vienna, was said to have held two seminars in which she discussed the marriage between the Prophet Mohammad and a six-year old girl, Aisha.

According to scripture the marriage was consumated when Aisha was just nine years old, leading Mrs S. to say to her class Mohammad ‘liked to do it with children’.

Someone explain to me how that’s wrong.

She also reportedly said ‘… A 56-year-old and a six-year-old? … What do we call it, if it is not paedophilia?’

It’s not like she made this up. IT’S IN THEIR SCRIPTURE.

But I guess it’s not nice to bring it up and CALL IT WHAT IT IS.

So she’s been charged with a crime.

Mrs S. was later convicted in February 2011 by the Vienna Regional Criminal Court for disparaging religious doctrines and ordered her to pay a fine of 480 euros plus legal fees.

So she appealed… and her appeal was thrown out.

After having her case thrown out by both the Vienna Court of Appeal and Austria’s Supreme Court, the European Court of Human rights backed the courts’ decision to convict Mrs S. on Thursday.

The ECHR found there had been no violation of Article 10 (freedom of expression) of the European Convention on Human Rights.

…wow.

In a statement on Thursday the ECHR said: ‘The Court found in particular that the domestic courts comprehensively assessed the wider context of the applicant’s statements and carefully balanced her right to freedom of expression with the right of others to have their religious feelings protected, and served the legitimate aim of preserving religious peace in Austria.’

THEIR RELIGIOUS FEELINGS ARE PROTECTED TO “PRESERVE PEACE.”

I SH*T YOU NOT.

Translation: Muslims might riot if you say something mean (but true) about their prophet. So we’re gonna make it illegal.

Disgusting.
