		If members of minority communities face incitement to hatred and call for legislation to defend them against this, it is surely the duty of socialists to support them, or at the very least listen to and honestly assess the views expressed by those who are the actual victims of oppression.

	Jureidini, R. - People and Place Vol. 5 No. 1

		...as regards the argument that racial hatred and religious hatred are different sides of the same coin—they are not.

		The definition of racial hatred in the Public Order Act is “hatred against a group of personsdefined by reference to colour, race, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origins.”[16] The above definition of ‘race’ in the Public Order Act is the same as that in the Race Relations Act 1976.

	What's wrong with racial hatred bill
		The proposed new criminal provisions, unlike existing criminal law, which deals with actual violence and damage to property, target circumstances which are preliminary to violence -- the incitement of racial hatred and threats made to a person or persons or property because of their race, colour or national or ethnic origin.
		The term “incitement” is defined as “a conscious and motivated act” and therefore requires a subjective judgment on the part of the court.
		Finally, we must question the fundamental rationale for the RHB -- that racial hatred provides the climate in which violence may take place and so is in and of itself a threat to the well-being of individuals, groups and the whole community that must be confronted by the state.

	Incitement to religious hatred: Growing disagreement between Christians - news from ekklesia
		The Government plans to extend the existing offence of 'incitement to racial hatred' to cover also 'religious hatred', through an amendment to the Public Order Act 1986 by way of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill which is now before Parliament.
		The organisations have for some time been urging the Government to legislate against incitement to hatred on grounds of religious identity and in April 2004 a number of faith leaders signed a statement to this effect.
		However, it is important to recognize that in the context of combating hate crimes at least, there is a significant overlap between racial and religious identity, with communities sometimes targeted on the basis of their religious, as much as any racial, identity.

	The Democrat's Diary: Incitement to racial hatred
		Nor should it have been surprising when an ICM poll for The Guardian last week revealed that more than half of Britain’s members of ethnic minorities have been subjected to name-calling or verbal abuse, or that one in five had considered leaving Britain because of racism.
		Given these unpleasant statistics one might hope that the relentless publication of "far-fetched stories guaranteed to incite racial hatred" in the press would attract some attention from the authorities.
		Despite criticism from the Campaign for Racial Equality, which described the remarks as "hugely emotive", Blunkett was unrepentant, insisting that the children of asylum seekers should be taught in separate "accommodation centres".

	There is No Freedom Without Free Speech (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		It is ironic that the left’s alleged concern about “racial violence” is actually ill-served by such speech restrictions, for by removing the “safety valve” of open discussion and political participation, they may indeed force some toward the direction of violence.
		If the left really wanted to eliminate their “bogey-men” of “fascist thuggery” and “racial violence” (which I doubt, since these bogey-men serve them well), they would encourage open debate and political participation for all views in the society, including those of racial activists.
		Indeed, this is another argument in favor of ethnic and racial homogeneity: the vast increase in freedom that occurs when the indefensible absurdity of “diversity” no longer dictates the scope of public discourse.

		One of NIRV's conclusions was that "the perpetuation and promotion of negative racial stereotypes, a tendency towards conflictual and sensationalist reporting on race issues and an insensitivity towards and often ignorance of minority cultures can all contribute to creating a social climate which is tolerant of racist violence".
		The Racial Hatred Act merely reinforces many of the professional and regulatory standards that apply to the media, such as the Australian Press Council's Statement of Principles, broadcasting codes and the Journalists' Code of Ethics.
		Such overt incitement of racial hatred or violence in the media is rare.

		The Government is seeking to extend the existing offence of ‘incitement to racial hatred’ to cover also ‘religious hatred’, by amending the Public Order Act 1986 in the Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill currently going through the House of Commons.
		Though the Government has sought to quell fears by insisting that the legislation is about preventing the incitement of hatred rather than being aimed at stifling satire, jokes or evangelism, serious misgivings remain.
		The coalition has been urging the Government to think again about its approach, for example, by considering amendments to race hate legislation which enable it to be invoked where religious hatred is a mere cloak for racial hatred.
