He said: “A decision needs to be made as to whether your conduct was simply you exercising your right to protest and freedom of speech or whether your behaviour crossed a line into criminal conduct.”

The court ignored the warnings of Coskun’s barrister, who argued that the charges against her client amounted to blasphemy laws.

Judge McGarva said: “You believe Islam is an ideology which encourages its followers to violent paedophilia and a disregard for the rights of non-believers.

“You don’t distinguish between the two. I find you have a deep-seated hatred of Islam and its followers. That is based on your experiences in Turkey and the experiences of your family.”

He ordered the protester, who is now in hiding, to pay a fine of £240.

However the decision has sparked immediate outrage from senior politicians, including the Tories’ shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick who condemned the move as a return to blasphemy laws of old.

Reacting the the court's decision, Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said: “This decision is wrong. It revives a blasphemy law that Parliament repealed."

Referring to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, he added: “Free speech is under threat. I have no confidence in Two-Tier Keir to defend the right of the public to criticise all religions.”

“Will the Government let it through or block it?”

Independent MP Rupert Lowe currently has an Early Day Motion demanding the resisting of blasphemy laws and the right to reject, mock or criticise religious ideas.

So far, just four MPs have signed it.
