Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Racial and Religious Hatred Bill.
Racial and Religious Hatred Bill
I am saying that it is possible to differentiate between the belief and the believer. It is also possible to differentiate between merely saying some words that other people might find offensive and deliberately seeking to incite other people to hate a group of people by virtue of their religious association. The latter is irrational and wrong and the law should criminalise it. That is why, broadly speaking, I support the Bill.
