    6 months in jail for smearing bacon on a building lmao. Bit of a dick move but it’s abhorrent for the government to be enforcing blasphemy in this country. We’ll be having government-approved religious police in no time and government-funded Islamic police shortly after when politically feasible.

    ‘Marcus Edwards, 44, recorded himself smearing rashers on a mosque’

    ‘He claimed online that he would get away with it and that he would “trash a mosque every day”’

    High IQ play.

  3. > “Within five days, he has been identified, convicted and faced the full force of the law.”

    But the police don’t have the resources to solve burglaries.

    We should have the right to offend and make fun of religions if we want.

    edit – having thought about this it clearly is criminal damage so I guess he deserved some punishment. but still sending someone to prison for putting bacon on a door is over the top

  5. Jailed for criminal damage, having admitted he would “trash a mosque every day”. What a prick

  6. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to clearly show their desire to intimidate communities in this thread.

    “why ize we cannot joke”…

    Please feel free to joke about religions (if it’s just one in specific you want to joke about, even that is okay!). This is clearly not a joke and its intention was not to be a joke.

  7. Why do the sort of dullards who do this think pork is some magical kryptonite for Muslims? They seem to think it’ll cause Muslims who go anywhere near it to burst into flames or something.

    Is this the case from a while ago finally being sentenced or are there multiple instances of this?

  9. My favourite part about when people do this is that they must think that Muslims are scared of bacon or something? They just can’t eat it, it isn’t like garlic to vampires where they’ll melt if they come in contact with it.

  10. The conflict between Muslims and British natives is a huge failure of the British government. Just imagine: if these British people can live a normal life every day, who would be so idle as to pay for the mosque? In psychology, there are very few people who are born with “abnormal psychology”. Most people with abnormal behavior are because of the blows and setbacks in life. Why do so many British people target Muslims after being hit? Who is responsible for this blow? Most people who have suffered misfortune in the UK think that it is the fault of Muslims. This idea is of course wrong. The real culprit is the incompetence of the British government.

    The only people who can directly tarnish the image of Muslims are Muslims themselves. Due to the wrong direction of the British government’s immigration policy, while reducing elite visas, it does not manage refugee visas, which has led to the rejection of high-quality and high-level Muslim groups, while those potential criminals are recruited in the name of refugees. Muslim groups have always been the most concerned about hygiene, and they have been able to prevent infectious diseases and repeatedly defeat the invading coalition forces. But in the UK, the opposite is true in places where Muslims live. The British government rejected Muslims who could contribute to the country, but accepted many trouble makers, which is the biggest reason why Muslim groups are attacked in the UK.

    Could have given the bacon to a homeless guy or someone who needed it, but instead decides to be a nob

  12. These are some overly harsh – police state-esque – sentences, that benefit know one

    I imagine the destruction of the Catholic church which happened a few weeks ago will at least be met with the same consequences, right?
