No, because Assies take things in their stride and freedom of speech is precisely that -- freedom to express one's views, and then wait for the other party's/parties reactions. Then banter one ... with wine, women and song, who the blardy hell cares. As long as no one starves...
LET"S PICTURE THE SAME --or similar -- SITUATON TAKING PLACE IN MALAYSIA. That is, a Christian cleric lambasting secular Malaysians that their lifestyle is full of F***S+++! and all non-believers are headed for Hell! (DEsi wonders: is dam-nation a GOoD destination Down Under?)
WILL ALL HELL BREAK LOOSE IN NEGARAKU? Like they will catch the cleric and wring his/her neck?
You lazy blardy but esteemed readers -- believers and non-believers, you think I careth? -- please tell me. Okay, for once a-Muse Desi!

OUTSPOKEN Islamic cleric Abu Hamza has branded Australians as boozers who are hooked on gambling and prostitution. In another sermon broadcast over the internet, the Melbourne cleric urged followers to spread the word of Islam to save Australians, the Herald Sun reports."They think happiness can be achieved by being intoxicated, by going to the casino and blowing your money away, by going from one prostitute to the other," he said. "They don't know what life is all about, that's why they are on the booze, why they are binge drinking ... why unfortunately suicide has skyrocketed, murder, anxiety and depression." Prime Minister Kevin Rudd yesterday demanded the cleric apologise after the another web sermon telling Muslim men they could hit their wives and demand sex.

KEVIN Rudd has demanded an Islamic cleric apologise for reportedly telling male followers they can force their wives to have sex, and hit them if they're disobedient.
The Prime Minister said Samir Abu Hamza's comments had no place in modern Australia.During a 2003 lecture also posted on the internet last year, Mr Hamza told followers that under Islamic law, men could demand sex from their wives.Despite Australian laws requiring consent, it was impossible for a man to rape his wife even if she refused to have sex, he said.He also said that Islamic law allowed men to hit their wives as a last resort, but were not allowed to leave them bruised or bloodied,Mr Rudd said Mr Hamza should apologise."Under no circumstances is sexual violence permissible or acceptable in Australia - under no circumstances," he said."Under no circumstances are other forms of violence, physical violence, acceptable towards women in Australia nor are they acceptable in my view to mainstream Muslim teachings. "... Australia will not tolerate these sort of remarks. They don't belong in modern Australia, and he should stand up, repudiate them and apologise."

In the lecture, titled The Keys to a Successful Marriage, Mr Hamza mocks Australia's sexual assault laws that require consent for sex between a man and his wife. "Amazing, how can a man rape his wife?" he asks. Mr Hamza, a cleric in the Melbourne suburb of Coburg, said a man could hit his wife on the hand or leg, but not on the head.
