					<description><![CDATA[the fact is that had the insulted person (this time being the pope) decided to proceed against Karl, he could have been tried anywhere in the world. the way it is done is simple: you choose a country where you say the article was read (or it might be chosen just because it has harsh defamation laws) and proceed in the court of that country. this has been used against some journalists too]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Karl is being made into a scapegoat. It was written as a joke and nothing more. I guess this should be a lesson to one and all that what you post on Facebook and such sites is out of your hands once you post it globally.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Germany calling, Germany calling&quot; ask your parents. Lord Haw Haw managed to broadcast his propaganda until the end of the Second World War and still ended up dropping from a rope, and that was 60 years ago. You reap what you sow; get used to it. He chose the losing side.

Glad you&#039;re back, Daphne. I was missing your outlook here in Afrique Equatoriale!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I believe we have a right to hear anybody&#039;s speech as long as no physical harm is done. I&#039;m sorry but I don&#039;t believe in the &quot;inciting&quot; part (inciting hatred, inciting racism etc). People can blabber all they want - we are adult enough to formulate our own morals and beliefs.

I&#039;ve listened to most of Lowell&#039;s presentations on Youtube, but that didn&#039;t turn me into a racist. Similarly, reading someone writing about wishing the pope to suffer like Christ would DEFINITELY NOT make me go out and attempt to hang the pope on a cross or something!]]></description>

The website is a US one. From there they distribute it to the rest of the world. Similar to those UK papers like &#039;The Sun&#039; etc... they are published in the UK and in return also distributed to given countries.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Yes, and that&#039;s why you can sue The Sun in Malta&#039;s courts for libel if you live in Malta and that newspaper libels you. But then you&#039;d have to get the writer, editor/publisher to attend court sittings here.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Excuse my ignorance, learned kev, but I thought that the crime here was principly the incitement of violence.  Surely, as an ex-criminal-policeman you would have noticed that?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lou Bondi did the right thing in exposing how delusional Mr Lowell is and I am sure he was expecting the BA to grab him by the ear.  On a more frivoulous note it was entertaining television as witnessed by the peak in viewership.

Individuals like Mr Lowell don&#039;t worry me, it is those otherwise rational and sometimes even respected individuals who come out with one of these totally unacceptable wacko ideas that scare me.

Funny how crackpots who are well off have always more or less been tolerated by society while poor ones end up shut in some institution.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[............and what about Norman Lowell? I am convinced that his entire outlook is far more pernicious than what this Karl Farrugia did.

Instead of prosecuting Lowell for his racist, sexist and generally outrageously irresponsible statements the BA is giving Lou Bondi the Third Degree! The Church is totally quiet about it all too.

We are such an insane country of interbred morons which is the only thing I see eye to eye with Lowell about, although I think he tops the lot!]]></description>
