South Wales Police have scrapped plans to introduce Islamic

South Wales Police have scrapped plans to introduce Islamic blasphemy-related guidance following widespread public backlash.

The proposal had reportedly suggested recording comments that went beyond what officials considered “legitimate” discussion of Islam.

Following criticism and concerns over free speech, the plans have now been withdrawn.

The decision has reignited debate over freedom of expression, policing, and where the line should be drawn between protecting communities and protecting open discussion.

Should police be involved in monitoring religious criticism, or should free speech take priority?

Good. It should be scrapped, bizarre thing to do.

Very good news who on earth would be defining what "legitimate" criticism of Islam looks like

Good, but don’t think it’s fair on those two coppers in the picture to use them to represent it
