Yes, people are getting arrested for posting illegal things online. I didn't say they weren't.
The claim you made was that is anyone posts "anything" about Muslims, they get arrested. That simply isn't true.
Would you care to post any examples of posts that have led to an arrest?
Of course you wouldn't.
10% or so of those arrests led to a conviction.

"Notable prosecutions"
"2012:
Paul Chambers made a joke on
Twitter in response to
Robin Hood Airport cancelling flights. He said that unless the facility resolved the problem within a week, he would be "blowing the airport sky high". After an off-duty manager discovered the post, Chambers was arrested by anti-terror police. He was found guilty, lost his job and was ordered to pay a £385 fine and £600 in costs. However, after a strong public outcry and three appeals, the case was eventually overturned."
He threatened to blow the airport up.
"2014: A Lincolnshire man was charged with being grossly offensive after posting a photograph of a police officer on social media, with two phalluses drawn on it. The offending picture was passed on to Lincolnshire Police, who arrested the 20-year-old. He was ordered to pay £400 in compensation to the officer in question, in addition to £85 costs and a £60 victim surcharge."
This one is basically libel. Trump sues people for less.
"2017:
R v Mwaikambo where a 43-year-old man posted one video and seven pictures of a victim of the
Grenfell Tower fire to his
Facebook account."
He posted pictures of dead people from the Grenfell Tower fire.
A local resident explains why he posted photos of a man who had died in the Grenfell Tower fire on social media.

"Morally I know it was wrong" said the man who got locked up for 3 months for doing it.
"018:
Mark Meechan, a comedian and social commentator, was convicted under the Communications Act in 2018. He had made a video demonstrating how he had trained his girlfriend's dog to perform a
Nazi salute upon hearing the phrase "Sieg Heil" and to respond to being asked if he wanted to "gas the Jews".
He didn't just do it, he made a video about wanting to gas Jews.
"2020:
Conservative Party candidate Joshua Spencer was sentenced to 9 weeks in prison under section 127 for sending threatening messages to
Yvette Cooper and her constituency staff."
Threatening someone.
You have to remember that with any law there will be people who take them to extremes. People who shouldn't be arrested, shouldn't be prosecuted. Others seem to get prosecuted and rightly so, and then get off because of a public outcry.
But this is a problem of the modern era. You can't go around PUBLISHING things. USMB has rules about this, and you will get banned and the police might turn up.
Mortimer is the best example on here, he got at least a talking to by the police.
The internet cannot be a place where crimes happen without anyone caring.
