A fine is a sentence, and I think it's a big deal that the law is applied inconsistently between e.g. Mary and Mohammed.

- riffraff 2y agoI thought "sentence" is used for criminal offenses https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sentenced https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sentenced might be a difference in meaning among jurisdictions. EDIT: yeah it's odd that blasphemy against Mary is not illegal, but well, technical not a deity
- carlosjobim 2y agoAnd who exactly considers Mohammed to be a deity? Edit: Blaspheming against Islam is a criminal offense in many European jurisdictions.
- riffraff 2y agoI don't know who does, but not the Italian legislation, blaspheming Mohammed appears to be ok in Italy too. We don't know for sure cause there is no case law, while blaspheming Mary has been argued in court.
