Freedom of speech.

No it is not. In the first case, the children know it is only a movie, a work of fiction, and even that they shoud not be watching it.
In the second case, adults they trust (teachers) are presonally and directly teaching them that killing homosexuals and acting violently is not only not wrong, its the preffered way to act in a society, in reality, not in the movie.

Muslim pupils as young as six also teach that the penalty for gay sex is execution
Are you also okay with this?
Nope.
but
people can have that belief if they want.

we need to start putting all our kids into the same class room, There should be NO religious schools. The only way we can have any change for the future is teach all children together. We all have to live together and the best way of socialising everyone together is going to the same schools, where kids can mix and boundaries like religion can be left outside.
I am interested to hear what others think the solution to the problem is. We know that groups like the EDL do little but make the problem worse, so what should be done?

Freedom of speech.
You dont have freedom of speech to incite unjust violence, genocide, or promoting killing someone based just on race, religion or sexual orientation. Freedom of speech has some limits, and thats how it should be.
You have to prove the above, because now you are jumping to the realm of assumptions.
I don't think they are teaching "killing homosexuals and acting violently is OK or preferred way to act in a society".
Muslim pupils as young as six also teach that the penalty for gay sex is execution
I think they are teaching, "the law must not allow homosexuality, the punishment for homosexuality under the law should be death".

Do you think children are stupid and dont know that movies are fiction? Even if they are allowed by parents to watch violent movies, the society is also "indirectly" telling them that they should not take example from them - by age restrictions.
Thats wery different from teaching in schools
They do:
Muslim pupils as young as six also teach that the penalty for gay sex is execution
Whats the difference? They teach that punishing homosexuals by death (killing) is the preffered way to act in a society, preffered to that extent that it should be made into law. Dont argue semantics.
Would you also say teaching this to children would be OK?:
The law must not allow black skin, the punishment for black skin under the law should be death.
edit on 22/11/10 by Maslo because: (no reason given)
Do you think Muslim kids who studied in such schools will grow up to kill homosexuals more often than kids watching Hostel torturing people?
Nope, you are trying to play games now. There is a huge difference between the punishment for breaking a law, than killing someone outside the law.

Yes, its very probable.
I see where you are pointing with this, but I disagree, That way you can justify anything - "I am not advocating breaching human rights, see, I am advocating changing the law so that breaching human rights wont be a crime, and then we should breach them."
Western states are republics, not unlimited democracies, that means some things (like making murder or rape legal, killing people because of their color, religion or orientation etc. Things that are not compatible with the Declaration of basic human rights) cannot be made into law, no matter what percentage of people want them. Republics are bound to make all their laws compatible with the Declaration, and openly advocating laws that are against it is (and should be) also illegal. Thats the protection against another Hitler.

So let's be clear; you refuse to criticise or condemn Iran for executing victims of rape or homosexuals because it is their law?
You refuse to criticise or condemn Pakistan for sentencing to death a woman for allegedly blaspheming despite no suppotive evidence because it is Pakistani law?
As I said previously, some could argue that being homosexual is a choice, that is a different subject. If you want to discuss it, I'm willing.

Some people believe homosexuality is wrong, and should be stopped.
