Crime and Policing BillContribution
On Amendment 370AA, I worry about the notion of holy war; I do not think we can put that into legislation. I might feel I am taking part in a holy war against poverty or against homelessness. I might see it in those terms. What does “holy war” mean? We know that we do not want people inciting violent uprisings, but the phrase “holy war” is perhaps not the right terminology.
