Not sure about Scotland, but in the US, we would be reporting the govt officials for this constantly!

As an American, the first thing that jumps out at me is the specific mention of religion. I guess I'm uninformed about religious freedom in the UK. Is this a directed at immigrants? Or intended to protect them? I know that Europe has a lot more Muslim immigrants than the US, and I'm sure it causes some problems...

In my opinion, it seems specifically directed to Christians or religious people that don't don a particular religious dress as "intolerant" even while it spews intolerance. The term "hate" is subjective enough that this will likely lead to much wasted time and energy when police ought to be fighting real crime.

Well, apparently Scotland is joining the growing list of anti-Christian countries in the world as the wording of the attack, and make no mistake it is an attack; is a bigotry of accusing a group of being intolerant. Let's see; Glasgow has no go zones already. Muslims do not integrate with European society and that can seen in every location that large population groups converge. Do you they have a right to the peaceful practice of their faith? Yes. Do they have the right to dictate to others how society should be run and what standards must be met? No.

Then you have the over riding message that those who support the current Scottish government support this Stazi agenda and will willingly and gladly report anyone who doesn't toe the line of PC speech and in action in public society. That is the road to suppression and civil war. Which here in Scotland means that the state will start creating "re-education" facilities to aid those who are "mentally challenged" in conforming to the "proper" ideology of the SNP and left wing government. The website of onescotland.org is a left wing attack fest on anything that questions the push from the left and those who demand equality of out come. Not sane folks. They are very good at dressing it up and very good at using NLP and other ques and wording to play the passive aggressive and the victim. make no mistake these folks are Stazi.

It seems bigotry only goes one way though. Ridiculing people with red hair is a a form of bigotry. But the poster seems to focus only on religious dress, so is protecting a particular demographic. I am a very tall person due to my Frieske ancestry. Being called a giraffe in school was bigotry. Did anyone stop it? No. In Muslim countries people would spit on my ridiculously long legs which were never covered because of the length of the school uniform. That's bigotry, but it seems that tall white girls don't suffer in this paradigm. My point is that sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me. For those who feel that they should come in defence and police other's speech about religious dress only, make sure that you know what you are doing. You might find that you need a lot of duct tape to silence everyone around you...

Here is where the line is drawn. The poster shaming people for their personal beliefs, and encouraging citizens to report those who's thoughts are contrary to your own is shamefully close to the use of neighborhood spies as applied by the Nazi regime in the 1930's. Hearing negative speech should not be harmful to your psyche if you disagree with it's content. Choose not to listen, choose to believe as you like. Engage and discuss civilly, or just change seats. If someone's private conversation with another is not to your liking, and is not directed at you specifically, ignore, engage or bugger off. You are not forced to listen or accept, but the other has a right to their opinion whether you agree or not. This trend of restriction of free speech in Eurocentric societies is dangerous as "Hate Speech" can be applied on a sliding scale that encompasses both liberal free thinking as well as far right ideology. When someone becomes appalled by the ultra liberal chatter among two socialists, can that person report it as hate speech because it offends him/her?
When you outlaw hate speech, you outlaw all free speech and deprive yourself of the opportunity to hear and understand the position of another individual. You may miss a pearl of wisdom, or at a minimum you may recognize a dangerous flaw in their (or your own) ideology.

Didn't they mean 'Dear people who believe there is a power greater than the state'?

We are, ourselves, the apparatus of the totalitarian surveillance state.

Scotland may want to take a look at other European countries who are trying to figure out how to get the refugees gone. Take a look at Paris's tent cities, Sweden's muslim only areas. It looks like in Scotland the muslims are more important than the Scots.

Hate to say it , but that should be aimed directly at the islamic fundamentalists moving into europe and the united states ! They are the ones who start the problem , we wouldnt care how they dressed if they didnt have a tendency to blow up ,or stab innocent christians and atheists . Any discrimination on the part of native europeans or americans is in this case , nothing more than common sense and caution !
