That law are dead meat in practical! And theres lot off pressure on to get rid of it. Exsample: The muhammed cartoons where not even the muslims could raise a case against the nawspaper!

Do you really want me to believe that its not possible to make a civil lawsuit for blasphemy or racism in the U.S?

Well, if you do come to believe that, it will probably account for a net doubling of your knowledge of the US. So far, your knowledge of the US appears to be nearly non-existant.

As blasphemy laws, the US Supreme Court ruled as follows:

"...It is not the business of government in our nation to suppress real or imagined attacks upon a particular religious doctrine, whether they appear in publications, speeches or motion pictures."

oseph Burstyn, Inc v Wilson, 1952

We did away with those laws over a half century ago.

You are still putting people in jail for the same thing today.

Free speech in the EU? Not really.
