She's an American citizen living in Oregon, not Iran or some ******* crazy religious country like that.

A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of inciting religious hatred after allegedly burning an English language version of the Koran.

The 15-year-old, who lives in the West Midlands, allegedly posted the video, filmed two weeks ago on her school premises, on Facebook.

It has just come to my attention that I said "Oregon", when in fact the girl is British, this is because I was reading another news article about an Oregon teen who tried to blow up a holiday celebration while writing this article, I apologize.

Silly girl. Had she burned the American flag instead everyone would be having a nice chuckle.

From the news coming out of there it seems England doesn't have any rights at all at least if you're English.

Nope, they don't. They don't have a written constitution so their laws can pretty much be bendable to whatever they want. They have far stricter hate speech laws than we do, which is bad.

Britain is a lost cause, I wouldn't be surprised if next they have muslims running around cutting people's heads off next just for calling 'prophet' mohammad and allah names. Or some cartoons. After all killing people for disagreeing is in the koran.

Just hope this idiocy doesn't seep into the US.
