Google Bill M103.

"Condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination" seems like a pretty moderate thing to do. I think some people forget that there is such a thing as context and moderation when it comes to rules, morals and laws.

There is a difference between running over a kitten by accident because it jumped in front of your car and boldly proclaiming on a public platform to start the kitten holocaust. Just because the latter person will go to jail doesn't mean the former will.

Context and intent. Those words are pretty important in law and general social behavior. If you look those up it might relieve your fears of persecution a bit.

While I agree on the context, intent and moderation, there's few problems: I find it unbelievable that a modern society would still make blasphemy laws (then again, this is Americas we're talking about, which is much more religious than Europe). If we make "one type of discrimination" illegal, why don't we make all discrimination illegal, so that everyone would be happy and equal. Also, the definions used for what is "islamophobia", for example, is very important: real-life examples show us, that if an imaam want's death to western society, it is not considered hate speech, but condemning the imaam is considered islamophobia, or wanting death to the imaam who want's you dead is considered hate speech.

Strictly speaking of "phobia", what next the want illegal? Fear of the dark? Snakes? Spiders?

I’m going to assume you’re not a Canadian and this is the first time you’ve stumbled upon this bill and have put little thought into your reasoning.  You’re not alone - it’s what liberals do.

I live in Germany, which is one of the most liberal and leftist countries you can be in. Yes even more leftist than Canada. That bill is nothing compared to what is already law in Germany. I haven't seen anyone go to jail yet for simply stating an opinion. I've seen plenty of blatant racists being charged, though. So the laws work as intended.

You haven't yet explained yourself and just said I should google something instead of explaining your point. But don't worry, you're not alone - it's what right wing extremists do.

You know you're liberal when the left hates you as much as the right does.

Germany is on the left so far. The more right wing immigrants there's coming, the more on the right the country will turn to.

How many of those blatant racists get charged in Germany? Is it that if you're certain ethnicity or religion, you can get away for doing the same thing that others can't?
