In the heavily Arab suburb of Dearborn Michigan, four Christian evangelists were arrested on public property just outside of an Arab festival for disorderly conduct.
The ‘disorderly conducted’ stemmed from passing out the Gospel of John in English and Arabic to people as they were leaving the festival. According to the AP, “Christian proselytizing at the festival has been a matter of dispute for several years.”
After being stopped by the police minutes after arriving, the evangelists were taken to the security booth, photographed, had their camera taken away, ID’s were turned in for their information, even their cell phones were taken for a little while, according to one of the individuals within the video. Later, they were let go after the cops “explained the rule.” That rule was the Christians had to be at least five blocks away to ‘distribute anything.’

Muslime thugs can kiss my ass.

Apparently the 1st amendment no longer applies.
How many converts do they think they’ll garner from that crowd? They’re not there to make converts, but noise. Congratulations, you made some noise.
And yes, it appears their rights were violated, but IMO, they set out to have this confrontation.
Go proselytize the bums under the bridge. You’ll have much greater success.
I agree with you.
Two extreme religious groups going at each other.
Good. It is almost comical.
