EBA (buddhist association) invited famous Tibetan Lama Sogyal (senior buddhist figure) to a special Buddhist Service to be held at Ace Mill in Entwhistle, on Friday 28 October 2011.
Ace Mill is situated opposite the factory of Electro plc. In front of the mill there is a large open half-circular roadway. The Lama Sogyal believes that all public Buddhist services should be held in the open air. There have been (uncorroborated) allegations on various blogs and Facebook sites in the internet that Electro plc makes components for stun guns and supply supply them to the Chinese Government.Also, that Chinese troops have already used stun guns in Tibet on Buddhist monks in support of the Dalai Lama.
EBA chose this date deliberately, having found out that a high-powered Chinese Government Visiting Delegation was scheduled to visit Electro plc?s premises on that day.
EBA published in its website the programme for the event. The service was planned for 11.00 am and the congregation were then invited to accompany the Lama Sogyal across the road to Electro plc?s main entrance gates.
EBA planned the service to include a public sermon and address from trustee of EBA, and a public reply by the Lama Sogyal. Trustees?s address would have included a denunciation of the Chinese Government in respect of its oppression in Tibet. The Lama Sogyal would have echoed that denunciation, and added criticism of his own of the Chinese Government in relation to oppression of Tibetan Buddhists.This was advertised on EBA's website.
However, on 18 October 2011, the Chief Constable of Greater Entwhistle Police (?GEP?), having been alerted by the Chinese Embassy in the UK to the EBA website contents, issued a notice to EBA trustees under s14 Public Order Act 1986, imposing the following conditions on the EBA service planned for 28 October 2011:
1. any service and event to be held by the EBA between 19 October and 31 October 2011 should be held in an alternative location in Greater Entwhistle, at least 10 miles from Electro plc?s main gates.
2. the maximum number of demonstrators shall be 20.
3. the maximum duration of the service and demonstration shall be 2 hours.
4. the service and event should be held within a building, and not in the open-air.
In a separate letter, the Chief Constable asked EBA to advise its members that if any prospective demonstrator seeks to trespass on any part of Electro plc?s premises on 28 October 2011, GEP would arrest them under powers not limited to, but including, powers contained in s128 Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005.
In light of the above, EBA reluctantly cancelled the service, whilst protesting in writing to the Chief Constable.John and Mary Eva, residents of Cornwall, who had booked non-refundable flights from Exeter Airport to Manchester Airport (and road transfers), and partly non-refundable hotel accommodation at a five-star hotel, in order to participate in the advertised service. They lost the opportunity to hear a sermon from the Lama Sogyal, plus over £1,800.

Can John and Mary Eva use the Human Rights Act 1998 to challenge the decision of the Chief Constable and claim for their £1,800 losses?

Is Islam the Most tolerant religion? Please share your views on these facts, please?
A few facts about Islam:
In Islam:
-Allah will not judge a person by their looks, race, gender, wealth, status etc, but only the goodness in their heart (piety)
-Islam is colour blind - it is for everyone to embrace. The prophet Muhammed PBUH said in his last sermon, that a black man is not superior to a white man and vice versa, and that a arab is not superior to a non-arab and vice versa.
-The first muezzin (caller to prayer) and the 1st person to enter Paradise will be Bilal (peace on him) who was a black/african man, who lived a life of poverty and sorrows and who had no status in society since he was so poor.
-In Islam, there is no such thing as original sin, sin Islam is fair and everyone is accountable for their Own sins. Also, those who embrace Islam, have all their past sins wiped away.
-Muslim men And women will get pure/virgin spouses in Heaven
-Murder and hurting even people's feelings is forbidden in Islam, regardless of whether they are non-muslim or muslim, Islam respects all people and expects its followers to do the same.
-Islam teaches kindness to animals, including dogs and pigs. Muslims cannot harm these creatures, in fact, if the opportunity comes, we should help these animals if they are ever in pain or if they are hungry. In the Quran, there is a chapter (surah Kaf) which is about a faithful loyal dog companion who helps the group of good muslim men.
-In Islam it is ILLEGAL to force people embrace Islam. It is also illegal to force a muslim to follow Islamic teachings e.g. wearing hijab, or fasting etc, since Islam is about a person accepting it sincerely in their hearts, not through force.
-Islam is tolerant to homosexuals, since it does not wish death upon them. Also, in Islam, homosexual thoughts aren't forbidden, it is only the acts of homosexuality that are seen as sins.
-Islam tells us to look after our neighbours, regardless of their religion and race. Islam also tells us to look after our parents till the day they die, and not kick them into old age homes.
-Islam honours women and gives her the right to do what she wants. She has a choice to wear hijab, she has a choice to divorce, she has the right to keep all her money to herself, she has the right work, she has the right to educate, her testimony is NOT half of a man's- if she is raped, her testimony alone is enough to convict a rapist (with capital punishment --> Islamic rule) etc.
-A man and woman are equal in Islam, the only thing that is different is their dress code since men and women have different physical appearances and different minds/mentality.
-In Islam, all muslims Must give charity, unless they are extremely poor themselves.
-In Islam, there is a pillar 'Hajj', where millions of people go to, to worship their one Creator. There are people there from all colours, statuses and ethnic backgrounds, but during Hajj they are all equal as they wear the same uniform (ihram) and must do the same acts of worship.
Allah will not favour a rich man over a poor man, rather Allah favours the person who has the most love and sincerity in their heart.
-In Islam, a martyr means a person who dies while doing something good e.g. dying while saving someone, dying for one's country, etc.
-Islam does Not disallow muslims from making non-muslim friends. This is a misconception. Islam just disallows making them a 'protector'. Islam does not wish to put burdens on non-muslims by making them protectors of people who they are not like.
And there are many MANY more points about Islam being a tolerant religion, but there is limited space :(
Please feel free to add!! :D
Take care
Peace & Love - Salam alaykum

@ How can you judge a religion by its followers? It was GOD who made Islam, not the humans who call themselves muslims, also the Saudi arabians did Not create Islam either :). Those muslims who are committing such crimes e.g. killing people, are going Against Islam and are sinners. They will be punished by Allah for their evil sins.
Honour killing is Forbidden in Islam. Murder is not allowed. Only capital punishment of notorious criminals e.g. rapists is allowed.
Forced marriages are also forbidden in Islam.
Interesting read about women's rights in Islam. *I am So happy to be female + Muslim! woot!* http://books.google.co.uk/books?vid=ISBN1897940637&redir_esc=y
:D
@'Death to apostates': This is alos another misconception about Islam. Islam believes in Free will!
Therefore, if a muslim decides to leave Islam, they are not to be killed according to Islam. They can live their life as a non-muslim, and they will be judged by Allah on this. Humans are not the judge of someone's life's choices, so long as their choice does not harm/cause death to several people.
As I said above, only nototrious criminals e.g. mass murderers and rapists are put to death in Islam.
@Stoning: Stoning in Islam, for those who do adultery is ONLY allowed IF the adulterer gives PERMISSION to be stoned e.g. if they regret for their sin and want to be cleansed in this world (since the punishment in Hell is far greater). Islam is a religion which is tolerant and does Not force people. :)

@Boats: Prophet Muhammed PBUH did not murder Jews and Christians because they weren't coming to Islam. He was in a war with them, because as we know, there is always wars when people fight for their rights, or fight for their protection.
Muslims were many a times endangered, their safety and treaties were violated many times, and there was no choice but to go to war to fight for their right to live. Wouldn't you fight for your life, if someone attacked you?
Islam is NOT antisemitic - if it was indeed that, then why is Virgin Mary (a JEWess) honored in Islam? Why does Islam respect the 'people of the book' a.k.a the Jews and Christians? Why does Islam allow Muslim men to marry Jews and christians? Why did Prophet Muhammed show love to the Jewess who abused him 9and she soon accepted Islam after she saw his kindness/sincerity)?
Does Islam sound like a antisemitic religion to you? I'm a muslim and I am not that - because Islam teaches me to love All regardless of religion, colour, creed
