Today on the World @ 8 with Lynne Mozar – A seven year sentence has been handed down to a group of Muslim men, found guilty of hate crimes after they handed out leaflets saying that ‘gay people should be hanged, stoned and burned to death’. These men wanted a Sharia Law area of Derby set up only for Muslims, making it a no-go area for anyone else.
