She's an British citizen living in England, not Iran or some bat**** crazy religious country like that.

Quote:

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.

The video was reported to the school and subsequently removed, police said.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of making threats. Both have been released on police bail.

She can be punished by the school system for setting fire to the book on school property.

this is not however an arrestable offense.

the state is stomping out her 1st amendment rights.

Where does it say she is living in Oregon? I can't find that.

A cursory review of the Oregon Statutes shows no crime that involves "inciting religious hatred".

Without a citation of the statute, I can't opine on whether this is or is not a valid arrest.

Naturally, the news articles neglect to cite the actual statute this women was arrested for.

@Solace, I think you should amend your post so nobody else thinks she's from Oregon, when in fact she is from UK.

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.
