No, unless convicted, the European laws are clear. You don't name a suspected criminal until they actually are convicted. Entirely different to the US. And it has been that way for the last 20 years at the very least.

Do you mean to say that in Europe a person is innocent until proven guilty? What a novel idea. Probably wouldn't sell here though.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

You aren't allowed to show their picture also. Unless the police asks for someone helping in identifying some CCTV footage. If you show their picture, you have to black out their eyes.

It's to prevent something like the Paul Britton fuckup with ruining Colin Stagg's life forever.

Crimes committed for religious reasons should be listed as hate crimes.


All crimes should be hate crimes. Are there any love crimes?

A well planned heist can be a labor of love. As long as noone gets hurt.

One passage really struck me as odd:

Quote: Authorities found evidence of religious extremism, including items contradicting Hawking's claim that God doesn't exist, in her room.

Could you be more specific, Michael Harthorne? That category ("items contradicting Hawking's claim that God doesn't exist") is extremely broad. Hell, it could even include the Bible the Gideons put in damn near every hotel room they can get away with it.

Of course there are 'love crimes'.  Stealing is always a crime, but suppose you steal medicine to save the life of your desperately ill child?  I doubt very much that people would assume you acted out of anything but love.

Have to say I flinched at this bit:

Quote:Sources say Hawking never felt he was in danger.

Unfortunate choice of phrase.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
