A police community support officer ordered two Christian preachers to stop handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham.
The evangelists say they were threatened with arrest for committing a "hate crime" and were told they risked being beaten up if they returned. The incident will fuel fears that "no-go areas" for Christians are emerging in British towns and cities, as the Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, claimed in The Sunday Telegraph this year.
Arthur Cunningham, 48, and Joseph Abraham, 65, both full-time evangelical ministers, have launched legal action against West Midlands Police, claiming the officer infringed their right to profess their religion.
Mr Abraham said: "I couldn't believe this was happening in Britain. The Bishop of Rochester was criticised by the Church of England recently when he said there were no-go areas in Britain but he was right; there are certainly no-go areas for Christians who want to share the gospel."

It is a hate crime to speak out against girls being raped?
Believe it.
“It is a hate crime to speak out against girls being raped?”
Yep. It’s a hate crime to investigate or prosecute it too, apparently. The actual rapes I mean.
L
Glad I read the article a little bit.
That’s England
May God bless them and give them strength and wisdom.
This is life undone. Welcome to 1984.
So now there are places in OUR country where Americans can no longer go because we may offend some ****ing bottom feeding Muslim savages? Nice.
More like welcome back to 984!
Lol. Your s laugh. It’s England. There are more bet inhale in the world. Also news is more then the United States. Hope you didn’t stoke out unnecessarily.
Why do we shive a git what is going on in England? Posts like this should be marked Birmingham England or Birmingham Alabama.
Because, when the SHTF and war does break out; we have the ABC's we will will fight to defend (Australia, Britain and Canada), they are our closest allies. And our fates are intertwined, what befalls one, befalls us all.
Yeah, this is another place name that always confuses me here.
Yet.
It might be a hate crime to “blaspheme the prophet”, depending on the mood over at USDOJ.
>> The incident will fuel fears that “no-go areas” for Christians
GTH, UK... never mind, you already chose that route.
Note, this is a news story from 2008 about events in Birmingham, England. This news story goes towards validating what Trump has to say today about British police having no-go-areas in Britain contrary to the protestations of British Leadership out of step with the British people.
Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.
Is it strange that the western world is waiting for a saviour from an islamic death?
