One would have thought that the Catholics and Protestants were doing a good enough job of blaspheming, but now the Atheists are going at it, too:
Atheists challenge Ireland’s new blasphemy law with online postings
Atheists in Ireland are risking possible prosecution with an audacious online challenge to the country’s new blasphemy law.

An idiotic law against freedom of speech simply because, God forbid we might “cause outrage” to anyone.
atheist.ie has a list 25 Blasphemous Quotations, and yes, it includes quotes from the Koran.
