To ban something so totally subjective is yet another example of the majority forcing its subjective morality onto a powerless minority. That's where unrestrained democracy gets you.

And why is this just about religion, race and homosexuality? If there is now a right not to be hated, why does this law not extend to far right politicians, to paedophiles, and to the racists and homophobes themselves? No objective standard makes Islam or homosexuality any more worthy of proetection than these. It seems this law is concerned neither with equality nor with freedom.
This is a slippery slope. When all politically incorrect speech becomes banned, then what? Or, what happens when the definition of what's politically incorrect changes?
