Is this really the 21st century?

I know that the EU and european nations implement laws that make criticism of relgion in general and islam in special a punishable crime over alleged complaints that being critical of relgion is a hate crime that is discriminatory to the poor religion.

but that there is a nation, Ireland, that marks blasphemy as a special object of law, making blasphemy a punishable crime in itself - that is new to me.

Forward into the past! Medieval is calling.

The EU, the parties, and the religious institutions really try their best to turn reasonable, moderate persons into people tolerating radicals and acts of extremism, because they cannot stand anymore the disgust they feel, and do not see other ways anymore to bring all this stupidity to a full stop.

Blasphemy a punishable crime - not in an Islamic but an alleged Christian country. I must have woken up in the wrong century this morning. It is the year 1010, no doubt.
