Would have thought laws regarding encouraging hate took priority over a right to say whatever one wished and call it religious belief. Too much leeway is given for claims of religious belief as it is, and unlike the USoA, respect for free speech here has a different balance, a different line beyond which it is no longer acceptable.

This isn’t Christianity American style - it’s politically correct bigotry UK style. Another version of the puerile student invention of ‘no platforming’ - not something that anyone who values freedom should ever support. Good for Franklin Graham. I hope he wins.

Surely venues have the right to veto performances from anyone they disagree to on their property.

//Franklin Graham, a preacher who has expressed homophobic and Islamophobic views//

And you support this fella Naomi?

I think he should be able to say what he wants to say. Stifling opinions never changed minds.

Do you feel the same about "hate" preachers from other religions?

Free and open debate should be the means of defeating bad ideas.

Oh, yes indeed - as long as they're not encouraging people to commit acts of violence. You never know what people are thinking if you don't let them speak - and if you don't know what they're thinking you're never going to change minds.

Still, a venue has the right to decide who they let perform on their stage.

Mozz - The hate preachers you mention are inciting violence.

Unusually, we're in full agreement.

Not necessarily, Theland. You like YouTube. Listen to some of Anjem Choudary's offerings.
