Norway ends blasphemy law after Hebdo attack
|
 HT to Hotair headlines.
Some in Europe are starting to awaken
Norway has scrapped its longstanding blasphemy law, meaning it is now legal to mock the beliefs of others, in a direct response to January's brutal attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
The proposal to rush through the change was made in February by Conservative MP Anders B. Werp and Progress Party MP Jan Arild Ellingsen, who argued that the law "underpins a perception that some religious expressions and symbols are entitled to a special protection".
"This is very unfortunate signal to send, and it is time that society clearly stands up for freedom of speech," the two wrote in their proposal.
