UK Arrests Anti-Islam Blogger
For, among other things, “stiriing up racial hatred”…?
Last time I checked, Islam wasn’t a race.
Lionheart’s Blog is here.
A blogger from Dunstable has been arrested and released on bail for allegedly stirring up racial hatred.
Paul Ray, who uses the pseudonym Lionheart on his provocative online diary, was arrested two weeks ago after returning from South Carolina, America where he was seeking political asylum.
He had already been warned via email on January 3 by Bedfordshire Police that he would be arrested if he returned.
Last month he attended Greyfriars police station in Bedford, was arrested then bailed and told to return in May to either be released or charged.
His blog includes his opinions on the heroin trade, Islamic fundamentalism and alleged police corruption.
Mr Ray, who used to have a flat in Great Northern Road and a computer shop on Albion Street, claims he has received death threats.
He told Luton/Dunstable on Sunday: “I felt it was right to come back. I handed myself in at a Bedford police station.
“I was arrested on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred. They questioned me on parts of my blog. Compared to what’s happening out there I haven’t done that much.
“I’m a Christian - that’s my defence.
“My belief it that it’s my rights and responsibility to say what some people may not like, which may hurt feelings.
“My blog is a response to what is happening. I have not called for violence.
“You have got some Muslims calling for followers to overpower the state, opening recruiting for a global jihad and raising funds for this.
“I’ve written a few words on a blog.” A spokeswoman for Bedfordshire Police said: “I can confirm that someone has been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred and has been released on police bail to return in May.

Melanie Phillips got it right…”Londonistan”…You limeys need to stand up, while you still can dammit! PC run amok in “Once Great Britain”. Isn’t there anything that can be done for this guy? Any support for him over there?
April 15th, 2008 at 8:46 amThis guy gets arrested for telling the truth. And what about all the jihadi bloggers in the UK? I suppose its all a misunderstanding. After all there are only a minority of extremists in the UK stirring up a jihadi furor against the same freedoms that this man practices.
Yes, only a minority of 200 seperate jihadi plots against the English at the moment. There’s 200 misunderstandings right there? Maybe the cops ought to arrest themselves for “inciting hatred”?
The tards in English jurisprudence might do well to re-read Churchill’s “While England Slept”…since that is what England is doing now.
April 15th, 2008 at 8:53 am“The keyboard is mightier than the sword” …??!!??
Time to start “running” weapons into Great Britain for our limey cousins yet?
April 15th, 2008 at 8:56 amThe thought police will be coming to a neighborhood near you. People forget that only in the USA you have the right of free speech written into the Constitution. The Libbs say that it is a live document and they will soon interpret that as free to say what the Libbs agree with.
April 15th, 2008 at 8:58 amGood luck to the sane stuck on that island, your gonna need it.
BTY, only criminals own guns in England, the law abiding citizens are just grist for the mill of political correctness.
April 15th, 2008 at 9:04 amThis is getting stranger and stranger.
The man was arrested for ’stirring up racial tension’. have they gone so PC over there that they need to arrest someone on a misrepresented charge? Islam is a religion, not a freakin’ race!! whites, blacks, asians are a race. not catholics, baptists, methodists, lutherans, mormons etc.
they better wake the hell up over there before they go into a ‘permanent sleep’
April 15th, 2008 at 9:08 amAs for asylum… We’d be proud to take him!
April 15th, 2008 at 9:13 amOver 400 Brits leave the island every day to live elsewhere…
April 15th, 2008 at 9:35 amKurt;
“hatred”, not “tension”! It’s sooo wrong to hate those who want to destroy you, y’know?
Even if “race” were involved, he could get any competent anthropologist and/or geneticist to demolish the term on the stand. There is only one “race”, with numerous loose clusters of loosely associated traits colloquially described as “racial”. But the concept is bogus.
April 15th, 2008 at 9:47 amTHERE IS OBVIOUSLY NO FIRST AMENDMENT IN THIS
April 15th, 2008 at 10:08 amSOCIALIST DUNG HEAP OF “GREAT” BRITAIN.
WE WERE RIGHT TO DUMP THEIR PANSY ASSES IN 1776.
SCREW THOSE LIMP WRISTED PETER PUFFERS.
They are more than welcome here, just as they have been for the last two hundred years.
I don’t know exactly what the British leadership is aiming for (I can hazard a few guesses), but they are driving out their best and brightest and replacing them with third world malcontents and roustabouts.
Their loss is our gain, but it is sad to see the UK slide the way they have been.
April 15th, 2008 at 10:17 amThey need a Military coup. The only sanity left there is in the Forces…and on a certain farm in the country side…

They need a Military coup.
———————————————————–
Wouldn’t it be F-ing GREAT if Prince Harry was the one to lead that “coup” … take the “Throne” and lay down the law for Parliament???
April 15th, 2008 at 10:31 amThey are doomed…
April 15th, 2008 at 12:21 pmWhy can the ragheads carry signs, and spew hate all over the country and nothing happens. Most of the time it’s all captured on tape. I have never heard of one of them being arrested. Double standard never works.
April 15th, 2008 at 1:42 pmSo tell me, Mr. Gordon Brown…
Were any of the muzzies with placards saying “Europe: Your 9/11 is on the way!” and “Islam will rule the world!” and “To Hell with Freedom” arrested for “stirring up racial tension?”
I thought not.
Britain doesn’t need muzzies to get fucked. It is fucking itself crosseyed for all the world to see.
Churchill and Enoch Powell are rolling in their graves.
April 15th, 2008 at 2:56 pmThe U.K. is infested with the crap of political correctness. They (U.K. government) will kill themselves with it. They do not need the muzzies to do it for them. The muzzies are just sitting back spewing racial hatred and do not get into any kind of legal trouble, but just let a white Christain who loves his heritage and nation do it and boy there is hell to pay. WTF is wrong with the once Great Britain?
April 15th, 2008 at 4:02 pmSad. Pitifully sad.
