A truly black moment for Britain to hear a prime minister effectively endorse the idea that we should reintroduce blasphemy laws. https://t.co/BmVvSZQ7og
I note also the MP requested protections for “all religious texts” but then only for religious figures “of the Abrahamic religions”. So not only is it a wrongheaded thing to request in the first place, it also plays favourites.
It’s sneaky, the way they always start by suggesting that they want protection for people of all faiths, but it inevitably gets narrowed down, bit by bit, until they are demanding greater rights for reproductions of their favourite books than they are willing to allow for actual people.
Perhaps a good way to head off the danger would be to lampoon it as The Dangerous Gods Act. I am sure that we want to to protect the public from such Pit Bull deities as Odin and Marduk without any danger to lovable Staffies like God the Father and Allah.

The Quran itself is blasphemous to the other Abrahamic Religions.
The New Testament is blasphemous to both Judaism and Islam.
