Blasphemy Laws

Turkey is ruffling feathers

Abdullah Gul, the Turkish foreign minister, sparked disagreement among his EU counterparts at a weekend meeting in Austria, when he called for European nations to review existing laws, to ensure they outlawed the "defamation" of all religions.

If Turkey is to ever join the European Union, someone should explain to Mr Gul, that there is only one form of blasphemy as far as the EU is concerned. In the EUtopia, one is not allowed to blaspheme against Ever Closer Union. All else is open to criticism.
