"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."

Looks like the city of Birmingham is no longer a part of the UK. Take things over little by little.

Coming soon to America.

Unless the Tommies wake up and push back against the Mohammedan savages, England is done.

Today, the Christian preachers.

Tomorrow, the pubs, Tommy.

WAKE UP!

Even the Church of England is alarmed. But is the horse out of the barn and over the hill already?

For a minute there I thought you were talking about Alabama...

Nobody there roots for UK.

They said when the officer realised they were American, although both have lived in Britain for many years, he launched a tirade against President Bush and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"He said we were in a Muslim area and were not allowed to spread our Christian message. 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."

Any possibility the PSCO is Muslim? T'would also explain the threat/warning of beating, too.

West Midlands Police, who refused to apologise, said the incident had been "fully investigated" and the officer would be given training in understanding hate crime and communication.

Yup, he's a Muslim.

Strong probability that the Brit police forces actively recruit and assign "ethnically compatible" officers to "sensitive" jurisdictions.

Sounds like Dearborn.

If they really want to spread their leaflets in a muslim area, they should rent a small airplane and drop them from the sky.

Coming to an Obama-land near you.

"the Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, claimed in The Sunday Telegraph this year."

Somebody check me on this, but isn't "Rt Reverend" the title given to a Christian Bishop? If so, it appears that the bishop has a muslim name. (Nazir-Ali) But then I haven't had my coffee yet, so I could be wrong.

The Rt. Rev. Michael Nazir-Ali was born in Pakistan to Christian parents. His father converted from Islam. Nazir-Ali was brought up Christian and educated in Catholic schools. He has dual British and Pakistani citizenships. He was receieved into the Church of Pakistan (a member of the Anglican Communion) at age 20. He was ordained a bishop in Pakistan but left under threat of death when Gen. Zia was overthrown. He became Bishop of Rochester. He resigned from that position last year. He has ordained women as deacon but not priest and opposes the ordination of sexually active homosexuals. He believes that married couples have a duty to have children and that failing to do so is self-indulgent. He has warned about the folly of permitting areas of Britian to become “no-go” areas for Christians.

The Muslims are so tolerant and peaceful. I just don’t understand.
