Of course, in reality, this means criticism of Islam. Thus, it may be illegal to even say "Islamic terrorist" since that might incite hatred against Muslims.

Also Britain is doing away with jury trials in certain types of cases.

Actually, read the article. If you say something that MIGHT incite racial hatred-- not even violence-- you can be prosecuted.

So, saying Muslims are more likely to commit terror attacks is a crime.
