Rowan Atkinson // "To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is freedom. The freedom to criticize ideas...even if they are sincerely held beliefs, is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. A law which attempts to say you can criticize and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed. It all points to the promotion of the idea that there should be a right not to be offended. But in my view, the right to offend is far more important than any right not to be offended."
