Guess what, nobody's coming to knock on my door and arrest me. Name a group and I'll criticize them without fear of reprisal. ...

Oh, you so brave posting this on a hockey off-topic thread under a nickname. If you are in Saudi Arabia and say publicly that Sharia Law is discriminatory, you get beheaded. The proposed motion is dangerous because if someone DOES want you to feel the pain here in Canada, it would make it easier. Suing someone and making him/her going through the expenses of a legal process is expensive and can ruin a person. If you are a teacher criticizing religion, if you are a journalist criticizing religion, if you are anyone that speaks up your mind in public, really.
Statements you said in your post are incredibly irritating and offensive to some people. But you should not be sued for them JUST because they are. That's the main reason for not having this legislation passed in any form.
