Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang are charged with breaching Section 5 of the Public Order Act – causing harassment, alarm or distress.
If convicted, they face fines of £2,500 each and a criminal record.
The Muslim woman was staying at the Bounty House Hotel in Liverpool, which is run by the Vogelenzangs, when a conversation arose between the hoteliers and their guest about her faith.
Among the things Mr Vogelenzang, 53, is alleged to have said is that Mohammad was a warlord.
His wife, 54, is said to have stated that Muslim dress is a form of bondage for women.

Bueno, la libertad de expresión en el Reino Unido -y en el resto de Europa- hace ya bastante tiempo que se esfumó.
Los ejemplos abundan.
Incluso las cárceles trasladan los sanitarios para que no apunten a La Meca, y en los colegios desde hace rato está rigurosamente prohibido el cuento 'Three Little Pigs', para no despertar la ira de los musulmanes.
Me pregunto si respetar al Islam significa asumir sus normas, costumbres y prohibiciones.

Bueno, es obvio que ya tengo la respuesta a esa pregunta tonta.

Their case is being funded by the Christian Institute, which has backed a number of Christians in legal disputes.
A spokesman for the Institute said: “We are funding Ben and Sharon’s defence because we believe important issues of religious liberty and free speech are at stake.
“In many instances we have detected a worrying tendency for public bodies to misapply the law in a way that seems to sideline Christianity more than other faiths.”
