The Telegraph (UK) astounds with Neighbour convicted of religious abuse:
An engineer was convicted yesterday of religiously abusive behaviour after insulting a Muslim neighbour who hailed September 11 as a "great day", praised Osama bin Laden as a "great man", and thought all Americans "deserved to die".No word on whether opining that all Americans deserve to die is considered abusive.
Alistair Scott, 33, is believed to be the first person to be found guilty of the new offence designed to outlaw religious hatred. He was charged under the Government's Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act, which came into force last December.
