Secular society upset by Judge Cherie decision - Home News, UK - The Independent

A senior judge could be called on to investigate a complaint that Cherie Blair handed down a more lenient sentence to a man who had been convicted of fracturing a person's jaw because he was religious.

Mrs Blair, a devout Roman Catholic who sits as a part time judge under the title Cherie Booth QC, spared Shamso Miah from jail last month after he was convicted of assaulting a person at a bank queue in east London.

The 25-year-old from Redbridge, north-east London, was given a two-year suspended sentence instead of a six-month jail term because, Mrs Blair said, he was a "religious person" who had not been in trouble before.

Damn right. If anything a supposedly religious person should be held to higher standards given their moral superiority and punished accordingly.

I think god wishes to punish the Blairs, she is making them mad.
