(Western Journal)—For the second time this year, the United Kingdom’s broad and problematic public order laws have been turned into de facto “blasphemy” acts, critics say.
And for the second time this year — you won’t be surprised to note — the British courts decided to use the power of the Crown to punish a man who happened to “blaspheme” one particular religion.
Can you guess which? C’mon, just guess. I’ll give you a hint: not Christianity. Or Judaism. Or Hinduism. Or Buddhism. Or the Bah’ai faith. Or Jedi-ism, which is a real thing in the U.K.
Yes, yet again, insult to Islam is the reason why a man who burned the Quran outside the Turkish Consulate in February is facing a fine because he “used disorderly behavior within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment,” a court decided.
Hamit Coskun, a 50-year-old Turkish-born-born documentarian of Kurdish and Armenian descent will be fined £240 with a surcharge of £96, which is $454 in free speech cash (i.e., U.S. dollars).

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
