The idea behind the bill is to prevent religious intollerance ( such as the anti-semitism shown by the destruction of Jewish graves) and was originally only supposed to be an offence to incite people to religious hatred. It will be interesting to see where the line is drawn because it's difficult to define. Simply disagreeing with another's point of view shouldn't be against the law.
