'This isn’t about blasphemy — it’s about public order.' Lawyer Mohammed Akunjee defends the conviction of Hamit Coskun for burning a Koran, saying it wasn’t religiously motivated but based on causing public alarm and distress — not ‘blasphemy laws through the backdoor’.

Why would the public be alarmed and distressed about a book being burned. It's a fucking book.

@GBNEWS And a vile hate filled one at that.

Whatever happened to … Monty Python 🤷‍♀️ Half the population was ‘offended’ … So we just laughed it off 😂 This drama is just so … boring & exhausting 🙄 … And is a ‘in’ to reintroducing blasphemy law and needs to stop … Judges need to get a grip !!!

@GBNEWS Self deprivation and mockery is part of English humour. This is another sign of how our culture is being forced to change to suit people who aren't willing to adapt despite moving to the UK.

🚨 Unimaginable news from Iran: 10 Baha'i women have been sentenced to a combined 90 YEARS in PRISON for activities as innocent as teaching music, art, and language to kids. Their "crime"? Simply belonging to a faith the regime doesn't recognize. Women in Iran deserve freedom, not fear. Share their story. Let the world know. 💔 #womanlifefreedom #iranianwomen

Mohammed Tasnime Akunjee was photographed in the crowd of Islamists outside Batley Grammar School in 2021. He was also ISIS terrorist Shamima Begum's lawyer.

@GBNEWS Was he? How many of that violent mob in Batley, threatening the life of the teacher, over a cartoon were arrested? Imagine the distress and fear he and his family have endured for years because of the stoneage, violent mob.

So on that basis if I see someone ugly and am distressed I should take them to court? Utter nonsense In the UK there is a long tradition of freedom of speech @JohnCleese @montypython & Life of Brian ……👊🤣

@BearGund @GBNEWS @JohnCleese @montypython Nobody in the UK has a right to be protected from feeling offended. I wonder how many Jewish people have been offended by endless chants of "From the river to the sea"?

Your guest himself failing to realise this very ruling is in itself undermining him. Many now believing that he is simply a beneficiary of such a perceived unfairness for no other reason than who he is. The reality is 90% of those on Terrorist watch lists in the UK are Muslim fundamentalists. That is in itself, given the demographic is only 7% Muslim, a terrifying figure. That 90% pose an unimaginable and unprecedented risk to the rest of society. Fundamentalism is by absolute definition the strict adherence to literal interpretation of scripture, a scripture within the book a man burnt. Is it not arguable that this man was attacking a book that by its content has inspired some of the worst events on the shores of UK and wider Europe. This legal ruling today is blasphemy legislation at work and no amount of angry defence of that judge or the system under which he functions will change that reality. A now flawed but much trusted justice system doing immeasurable damage to itself and the nation from which it may not recover. A system that we have so long relied upon to offer fairness and balance now doing neither. The result of that collapse is beyond worrying.
