Christians face arrest for preaching gospel

Two American-born pastors handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham, England, were threatened with arrest and warned of being beaten for committing what an officer called a "hate crime."

Arthur Cunningham, 48, and Joseph Abraham, 65, were handing out the leaflets and talking with local youths when they were approached and questioned by a police community support officer, or PCSO.

When the officer discovered the two Birmingham pastors were born in the U.S., he began a heated criticism of President Bush and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Cunningham explained that the gospel message was not linked to American foreign policy, but the officer reportedly became belligerent.

"He said we were in a Muslim area and were not allowed to spread our Christian message," Cunningham told the London Telegraph. "He said we were committing a hate crime by telling the youths to leave Islam and said that he was going to take us to the police station."

Europe doesn't go Islam overnight.

It takes a few nights for this transition.

“The dialogue is not proceeding well because of the two-facedness of most Muslim interlocutors on the one hand and the gullibility of well-meaning Western idealists on the other,” Bassam Tibi said Tuesday in an interview with United Press International.

The Barack Hussein Obama platform summed up better than anything else I have seen.

Take a read, it’s our future.

Yup.

As stated in a board earlier, the UK is on its way out.

Pray for them, but their Stalinism is bringing about their own destruction.

Oh, the PC British government has "good intentions" for accommodating their Mohammedan population.

But the pathway to Hell is always paved with "good intentions," is it not?

The Trojan Horse of Islam has infiltrated British Society, and the Anglo-Britons will be destroyed completely from within.

It is very depressing to think about, but it is their reality.

In other words a Islamist that the socialist British Government is allowing to enforce Muslim law on British citizens and others. Coming soon to a town near you especially if you live around Detroit....

That is their plan for the US too. So far, considering the fact their using our own freedoms against us, they’re winning here too. Oh, and Canada is next in line after England.

It’s already happening in Detroit.

Detroit is also where they recently held the trial of Nada Nadim Prouty. It should have been held in VA as she was a CIA agent. She got a slap on the wrist in Detroit for her treason.

Would it also be a “hate crime” if mooselimbs handed out leaflets and tried to spread their gospel in predominately Christian areas?
