How odd.

I think the European Court of Human Rights would eventually quash any such conviction if it comes to pass.

I think they just wanted to get him out of the public eye.

He's a brutal motherfucker who's dating a popstar and is in the center of polish pop culture.

Indeed. I don't know which is worse: The Irish blasphemy laws (which are unlikely ever to be enforced), or the Polish laws, which someone is going to attempt to enforce, with the likely result that the attempt will backfire on the offended.

"could offend somebody's religious feelings (a criminal offense under Polish law),"

The vid's awesome. Music, eh, it's from their rawer period. Check out the Demigod album- some of the best death metal ever.

As for his girl...

Behemoth Frontman Faces Prison for Bible Destruction.

Behemoth Frontman Faces Prison for Bible Destruction.

Seems the recent charges relate to Behemoth's onstage performance/s in Poland a couple of years ago, but I've only heard about it this morning. TripleJ will air a segment, including interview I believe, on this tonight. I'll try and post a link to the audio/transcript if it gets put up on their site.

Who wants to make a bet there's no public outcry about this?

But a bible is not religious iconography, as the bible doesn't represent Christianity. The Crucifix does, and various other medallions, but I've never seen anyone make the sign of the bible, or wear a little metal bible around their neck on a chain.
