Ja té nassos que comencem el 2010, declarat any de la Biodiversitat, amb una notícia tan esgarrifossa com l'aplicació de la intenció de prohibir per llei la blasfèmia a Irlanda. De fet sembla que ja era il·legal fer-ho contra la fe cristiana i ara -oh prodigi!!- ho estenen a la resta de credos.
Aquest és l'únic camí que coneixen, la prohibició i la persecució de qualsevulla crítica o idea.
A la Xarxa trobareu un grup de rebuig a la llei o per la llibertat d'expressió a Irlanda i un seguit de 25 propostes blasfemes i el portal de rebuig a la iniciativa.
D'allà prové aquesta darrera perla, que deixa clara la intenció d'aquest tipus de lleis... tot i que en altre context:
Micheal Martin, Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs, opposing attempts by Islamic States to make defamation of religion a crime at UN level, 2009: “We believe that the concept of defamation of religion is not consistent with the promotion and protection of human rights. It can be used to justify arbitrary limitations on, or the denial of, freedom of expression. Indeed, Ireland considers that freedom of expression is a key and inherent element in the manifestation of freedom of thought and conscience and as such is complementary to freedom of religion or belief.” Just months after Minister Martin made this comment, his colleague Dermot Ahern introduced Ireland’s new blasphemy law.

Mark Twain, describing the Christian Bible in Letters from the Earth, 1909: “Also it has another name – The Word of God. For the Christian thinks every word of it was dictated by God. It is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies… But you notice that when the Lord God of Heaven and Earth, adored Father of Man, goes to war, there is no limit. He is totally without mercy – he, who is called the Fountain of Mercy. He slays, slays, slays! All the men, all the beasts, all the boys, all the babies; also all the women and all the girls, except those that have not been deflowered. He makes no distinction between innocent and guilty… What the insane Father required was blood and misery; he was indifferent as to who furnished it.”
