Make hate speech by Islamic supporters on our streets illegal.
When I see these protests on our streets saying 'death to the west' or "people who insult Islam should be beheaded" it makes me sick to the stomach that the police do nothing as they are scared but as soon as a white British says anything to do with Islam we get arrested.
I want to see people arrested for hate speech and threatening our way of life in the UK, all involved should be deported to a Muslim country what supports sharia law, if they don't like the west then let's help them leave.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The UK already has laws relating to hate speech, including the Public Order Act 1986 and the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006. For example, Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986 makes it an offence for a person to use threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour that causes, or is likely to cause, another person harassment, alarm or distress. In addition, the Terrorism Act 2006 criminalises ‘encouragement of terrorism’ which includes making statements that glorify terrorist acts.
We're therefore not sure how you would like the law to be changed.
