From the
National Secular Society website:
Labour MP Keith Vaz has expressed his support for the reintroduction of UK blasphemy laws – provided they "apply equally to everybody."
His comments were reportedly made at an event organised by the Muslim Council of Britain to explore responses to terrorism and extremism, held in London on 12 November.
The report goes on to say:
Vaz went on to give contradictory answers about his views, saying that there should not be blasphemy laws in the UK, before adding, "If somebody brings it forward in parliament I'll vote for it… Obviously it depends what's in the bill. But I have no objection to it being brought before parliament and having a debate about it."
It should be remembered that Mr Vaz has a talent for saying what he thinks a particular audience wants to hear. Take his contributions to the debate on Salman Rushdie's
Satanic Verses.

The only way that we can ever live in peace again is if we deport all of the muslims.
Soothsayer: "...if we deport all of the muslims"
Which Muslims? Do you mean the fellow citizens who are our friends?
