In Denmark you can bad mouth anyone. There are consequences as there are in the US. Muslims and Jews and scores of non-Christian religions can marry people. Atheists probably can too. Happens in city hall since atheists don't have a place of worship where they can get married. "You don't think maybe having the gov't dictate what religious belief is allowed is a bit insane?" The government authorizes which religions can marry people. That's it. "Would Martin Luther have been hanged in Denmark for starting the Protestant Reformation? After all, he did badmouth both Catholics and the Pope?" Don't know, Catholics hanged and burned quite a few as did Protestants. Lurther bad mouthed the Jews so much that the basis for the pogroms was reinforced. "When was it that a modern western European nation slipped back into the Dark Ages?" Silly question "I know you have a constitutional monarchy, but isn't this a bit ridiculous?" Some of your questions are. "And what about those nasty atheists? Are they fair game?" Silly question "How far would charges of pedophilia against Catholic priests get in Denmark? Would the charger or the priest go to jail?" Anybody convicted of pedophilia would either go to jail or to medical/psychiatric care. Note people who are charged with a crime don't go to jail before they are convicted unless there is a danger that they would flee or collaborate with there cohorts to concoct an alibi. "Are texts on biology that mention evolution allowed in in Denmark?" Silly question. Ask those from Dover,Pa. about ID. "Christ (WHOOPS!) and we thought WE had problems with fundie Protestants!" The US does. Far greater than in Denmark. We do not have any attacks on abortion clinics. "I guess Allah somehow slipped and got coverage. When did this happen?" Just what do you mean?" "I mean is Allah one of the legal gods in Denmark?" Imams can marry people. If that makes Allah legal in Denmark, so be it. "Are the poor SOBs that published those cartoons going to jail?" No. But the Department of Justice is looking into the possibility of prosecuting Jyllands Postens editor. "When did you lose fredom of the press? Or did you never have it?" Silly question. Have main stream US media printed the cartoons? As of yesterday the answer was no. Which means that, according to your way of thinking, freedom of press is less in the US than it is in Denmark. I believe that main stream media in the US has been far more responsible than many European papers. Of course one can also find the cartoons in the US, just not in the main stream media.
