Last week, a German court sentenced a 55-year old Lutheran pastor to one year in jail for "Volksverhetzung" (incitement of the people) because he compared the killing of the unborn in contemporary Germany to the holocaust. Next week, the Council of Europe is going to vote on a resolution imposing Darwinism as Europe's official ideology. The European governments are asked to fight the expression of creationist opinions, such as young earth and intelligent design theories. According to the Council of Europe these theories are "undemocratic" and "a threat to human rights." [Emphasis added.]Coming soon to an America near you.
UPDATE: Tipped off by Dad29 in the comments, I see that The Cafeteria Is Closed has rather a different take on this case.
But he also reports this:
Belgian homosexual activists have brought charges against Mgr André-Mutien Léonard, the Roman-Catholic bishop of Namur, for homophobia, a criminal offence in Belgium according to the country’s 2003 Anti-Discrimination Act. In an interview last April in the Walloon weekly Télé Moustique, the bishop is said to have described homosexuals as “abnormal” people.
According to Michel Graindorge, the activists’ lawyer, the bishop intended to “stigmatize” homosexuals, whose “identity and dignity is debased from the moment that the bishop considers them to be abnormal.” Mr Graindorge warned for the dangers of such stigmatization, which he claims leads to “the fate the Nazis reserved for [homosexuals].” Homosexual activists claim that the Nazis sent homosexuals to extermination camps.

is that the America who crams its Christian religion down the throats of those who aren't christian?
Name one person in America, just one, threatened with jail because of their insults to Christianity, or forced on threat of beheading to convert to Christianity.
One name, cawfeeguy, that's all I'm asking.
Christian or not, having the State impose its ideology on you is a very slippery slope. Germany already doesn't allow homeschooling. Reason? Parents are either, as a whole, too dumb to teach their kids or the State wants to dictate what junior is learning.
I suggest you read Gerald Augustus' post on this event.
It ain't what it seems from the newspapers (so alright, what's new?)
