I can't believe they waste court time on something like this.

BBC News - Christian hoteliers cleared in Muslim woman abuse row

A devout Christian couple have been cleared of insulting a Muslim guest because of her faith.

Benjamin and Sharon Vogelenzang were accused of launching a tirade against Ericka Tazi at the Bounty House Hotel in Aintree, Liverpool, in March.

The couple had denied using threatening, abusive or insulting words which were religiously aggravated.

So it was a waste of time because some christians may have been verbally abusing a muslim and they should be immune to this?

Did you even bother to read the charge?

She claimed the couple became enraged when she wore a hijab on her last day and accused Mr Vogelenzang, 53, of asking her if she was a murderer and a terrorist.

Wow. You really think someone would walk up to someone else and thats how they would start a conversation?
 
So it's a crime to ask someone if they are a murderer or terrorist? It sounds like they were having a religious argument that got heated. :rolleyes:

The woman was a recent Muslim convert. Converts are often zealous fanatics from my experience. Sometimes they are itching for a fight.
 
:doh Jeezus christ im ****ing surrounded by them...

/runs from thread as fast as possible :cool:



You make the bigoted assumption that converts are mad zealots, you defend their calling her a terrorist or a murderer (in the case that they may have).
WTF is wrong with you people.

The politically mad become the enemy of the law in their own nation.

I assume you'd want to give these christian assholes a medal.

I bet if the tables were turned, you would say that nothing should happen, too.

Political correctness sucks ass!
 
Equal opportunity assholes?

" ... But the couple denied her version of events and claimed Mrs Tazi told them Jesus was a minor prophet and that the Bible was untrue.
Mr Vogelenzang admitted that his wife may have referred to the hijab as a form of bondage, but said he only listed historical figures such as Hitler, Nero and Mao to make light of the situation.
Earlier on Wednesday the court heard that takings at the couple's hotel were down by 80% since they were prosecuted for the public order offence.
Speaking from the witness box, Mr Vogelenzang accused 60-year-old Mrs Tazi of "trying to ruin his business" during heated scenes.
The two-day trial ended when Judge Clancy ruled that the evidence against the hoteliers was "inconsistent" and dismissed the case.
He told the couple that religion and politics was the "tinderbox which set the whole thing alight" because of both parties' "strongly entrenched positions". ..."

A judgement of Solomon, perhaps.

You mean that's not how you start out conversations? I do it just to be sure.
