Judge clears singer of ripping up Bible

WARSAW, Poland

A Polish judge has found a death-metal singer not guilty of offending religious feeling, ruling that his ripping up of a Bible during a show was a form of artistic expression consistent with the style of his band.

Adam Darski, who goes by the stage name Nergal and is the frontman for the death- metal band Behemoth, was charged after he ripped up the Bible during a 2007 concert in Gdynia, in the country’s north.

He was found not guilty by a court last year but prosecutors appealed that verdict.

The court issued an not-guilty verdict Thursday.

Concert video footage shows Darski throwing the torn pages to the audience and asking fans to burn them. According to the Polish news agency PAP, he also called the Bible “a deceitful book” and the church a “criminal sect” — strong language in this predominantly Roman Catholic country.

Judge Krzysztof Wieckowski, in issuing his ruling, said the court had no intention of limiting freedom of expression or the right to criticize religion.
