Britain is, of course, finished.
“‘They Arrested Him for Islamophobia’: Muslim Targets Street Preacher, Police Arrest the Christian,” by Dale Hurd, CBN News, March 1, 2019:
LONDON — Britain was once the home of world missions. But today, it’s increasingly hostile to the gospel. In the latest episode, London police are under fire for arresting an elderly Nigerian man for preaching on the streets of London.
His name is Preacher Olu and he was arrested last Saturday, accused of breaching the peace and Islamophobia. Phone video of his arrest went worldwide on social media.
“You can arrest me if you want to. You can arrest me if you want to,” the preacher says after police tell him to stop talking about Jesus.
CBN News got an exclusive interview with the woman who shot the video, Ambrosine Shitrit.
“A man with a hoodie was trying to humiliate, to be aggressive towards this Christian street preacher,” Ambrosine says. “I could see that he was a Muslim man because he was talking about. ‘No. Allah is the right way’.”
But London police didn’t arrest the Muslim man for threatening a Christian preacher — instead, they arrested Preacher Olu.
Britain is officially a Christian nation, but if you’re street preaching and someone complains, police are quick to move in.
“You better make your life right with the Lord Jesus Christ,” Olu was preaching as the police came up to him.
“What are you doing here?” an officer asks.
“I am preaching,” Olu responds.
“You’re preaching. I am going to require you to go away,” he says.
“You can never,” Olu replies.
“Okay then I will arrest you for breach of peace,” the officer says.
“What breach of peace?” Olu asks.
“What you’re doing. You’re causing problems, you’re disturbing people’s day and you’re breaching their peace,” the officer says.
But Ambrosine says Olu was not disturbing anyone except the Muslim man.
“Nobody was offended by the preaching, nobody. Nobody was offended and nobody came to see what was happening,” she recalls.
Andrea Williams of the Christian Legal Centre is advising Preacher Olu of his legal rights.
“This was completely an overreach of their authority. There was no basis upon which to arrest the pastor although they did know clearly because it’s caught on the camera. There was no proper investigation. They arrested him for Islamophobia which isn’t an offense and certainly there was no evidence of the fact that he was Islamophobic or racist,” Williams explains.
As Olu declared, “Jesus is the only way,” the officer badgered him saying, “No one wants to listen to that.”…
The Christian preacher was reportedly driven out of the area and in the words of the police, “de-arrested” and dumped in an area without money to get home.
Williams said she’s not sure if Preacher Olu will bring charges against the police. She says she sees cases like this on almost a weekly basis.

For ALL who despise Christians publically proclaiming their faith, Once they are silenced, we ALL will be!
revereridesagain says
Everyone has the right to proclaim their beliefs, so long as they do nothing to impose them on others by intimidation or force. Britain no longer cares to uphold this basic human right and would rather stake its future on feeding crocodiles.
Mac-101 says
Exactly. The best I know ALL major world religions practice the Golden Rule EXCEPT Islam. It should NOT be tolerated. It’s as bad as allowing NAZIs to live in Israel declaring that they wish to KILL all Jews. In this case it is a good Muslims responsibility to set the ground work at a minimum to Revert us or Kill us in the end! Why is this tolerated?
.
I’m quite content to wait till we cross the River to see who is correct. No other religion is killin non believers on a scale that Islam is TODAY!
UNCLE VLADDI says
Re: “Everyone has the right to proclaim their beliefs, so long as they do nothing to impose them on others by intimidation or force.” Well, then – islam instantly disqualifies its self LOL!
Martin Kochberg says
I can asdass you this sort of stuff won’t happen in Israel.
J D.S says
Right Mac- 191….once CHRISTIANITY is oppressed out of existence…we are DONE….
CRUSADER says
Once all Christians are silenced, it would likely be the time of the Second Coming.

This is another sign that the Anti-Christ, secular, postmodernist West hates and despises Christians while bending over-backwards to help and please islamists, including islamic jihadists!

UPS carries more for the safety of their drivers, (Sweden) than does the British government does for its citizens.
FYI says
Just listen to what those British Keystone cops are saying..
{“I need to tell them the Truth…”}
Ist Cop “Nobody wants to listen to that”
So is it up to the cop to decide who is allowed to listen?It isn’t.
{“Don’t take my Bible away”}
2nd Cop “You should have thought about that before being racist”
RACIST???How is an African preacher being racist for preaching the Gospel??
No doubt cop #2 meant “islamophobic”:But where is the RACISM??
There was NO NEED to cuff the poor man,he was not being aggressive or resisting arrest:that is police fascism!
Whoever complained to the cops about this is a coward.
What a disgrace the UK has become,from its BBC{Biased,Bolshevik,Corrupt} with its fake news and its pedos ..and its politically correct police..to its morally bankrupt political leaders..

Ayaan Hirsi Ali–a Black African Anti-Jihadist–has also insanely been accused of “racism”.
christianblood says
Instead of the Islamist and anti-semitic Ilhan Omar, Ayaan Hirsi should have been elected into the US congress.

The US Congress would have been lucky to have her. She held office in the Netherlands–I wish she would run for office here. She’d have my vote.

There is very little hope that our police force will behave in a lawful and sensible way when you see the nonsense being preached by our Prime Minister. Her views are colouring the whole of policing in our country, plus the added indoctrination of the sinister left wing Common Purpose programme, on which all senior police are now sent.

CRUSADER says
Many of the Christians from Africa preaching the Message of Christ are the most stalwart and staunch, due to knowing the difference of the alternative. This man was clearly in his rights to do so.
But it does seem that Britain is reverting to its authoritarian ways (1500s-1700s) in clamping down on Christian speakers.
Shameful of Britain!
Shameful of governmental over-reach.
Orwell needs to be reviewed.

I can’t predict the future but it’s my belief that the Elite are deliberately bringing Muhamaden’s into the West for the purpose of having an easier to control population, with or without a war happening first. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind a war bcuz they plan to eliminate the majority of us anyway.
After (and IF) the Ellite succeed in the aforementioned, I certainly don’t believe they’ll continue to allow the Muhamaden’s to practice their violent, barbaric ways! OR keep breeding like rabbits.
I feel certain that their ultimate goal is to keep just enough REAL PEOPLE alive to SERVE them…Under a very tyrannical regeim.
BTW… I also believe that 5G is indeed a very dangerous weapon being used against us.

We only ever seem to get bad or contentious news about police and policing. Whose responsibility is it to get a grip on this ?
sheliak says
So, the mention of Christ violates UK breach of the peace law in present day Britain. Since there is no Christianity without Christ; am I to assume then that Christianity has been legally outlawed in Britain? If so, why has the queen, as head of the Church of England, not yet been fined or arrested?
Spiro says
Nobody really cares about the queen except as a figure head
The church of Englznd is lost to political correctness and socialism
CRUSADER says
To use a point from elsewhere:
So, at what point does the West realize such things are not in its interests? When will it realize at some point the weight of Islam’s progress will effect an overwhelming burden upon our systems of government to the point of making any resistance to an entrenchment of Islam in our very societies impossible to stop — and it appears already so in England and the EU.
GreekEmpress says
I remember a video where a woman approached a policeman in a park in London, where a large number of Muslims were on the ground praying toward Mecca. The lady had the park rule book with her, and pointed out the regulation that prohibited them from doing that. Guess who the policeman sided with??? She may have even been arrested afterwards; I can’t remember for sure. I feel very badly for the Christian preacher.
gravenimage says
crazy.
Lydia Church says
They should have arrested the muslim attackers for Christianophobia!
But of course this just shows that they are on the devil’s side, not God’s.
Spiro says
Good point
Only the anti Christ is Christaphobic

Video from UK: Muslim threatens Christian preacher, cops arrest preacher for “Islamophobia”
…………………………
Just shameful. I hope Britons are *outraged* over this.
More:
The Christian preacher was reportedly driven out of the area and in the words of the police, “de-arrested” and dumped in an area without money to get home.
…………………………
And this was just vindictive–and likely illegal.
CRUSADER says
Well, St Paul was treated far worse, and all while on a continual mission in the second half of his life to spread the Word and preach the Gospel, warts and all, fire and brimstone of Hell damnation as well as Grace and Salvation.

The West should not be persecuting Christian preachers. I don’t think we want to compare ourselves to those who do.
CRUSADER says
Agreed.

Jesus said that His disciples would be hated by the world. He also asked, “When the Son of Man arrives, will He really find the Faith on the earth?”
Regarding the “preaching” of the Gospel or “Good News” about Christ, He said that if people didn’t speak about Him, the “stones would cry out.”
So the hatred is happening where anyone and everyone can see and hear…right on the streets of London.
And there is “preaching” by people still who do have “faith” in Christ. It isn’t necessary for the “stones to cry out” …yet…but if it comes to that, how would the police prevent it?
When a person or nation gives itself over to evil, then that person or nation fights against the Truth.
Just as criminals operate in the dark and try to hide their activities, those who choose evil attempt to hide the fact that they have chosen evil. Their evil is exposed by the Truth.
mortimer says
Most Britons are now apostates who are hostile to all religions but Islam and Buddhism but don’t see the contradiction in support such diametrical opposites.
Britain needs a freedom of expression law to stop this sort of self-initiated attack on the freedom of speech.
Britain needs the equivalent of the American first amendment
gravenimage says
Actually, Mortimer, 59.5% of Britons are Christian, compared to 25% with no faith (and, of course, not every Agnostic or Atheist is hostile to Christianity or any other faith).
I think the above insanity was more pandering to this being a “Muslim area” and just wanting to “avoid trouble” in the most cowardly, short-sighted and unjust manner.
After all, we’ve seen cases like the one in Germany where people legally flying an Israeli flag found Muslim thugs trying to scale the wall and tear down the flag.
Police, instead of arresting the Muslims, instead illegally broke into the apartment and tore down the flag themselves. In an similar case here in San Francisco, police herded peaceful pro-Israel demonstrators off the street, because it was easier than dealing with the violent thugs who were attacking them.
Neither of these cases involved being anti-Christian per se–but they were more of the same in terms of pandering to violent thugs.
CRUSADER says
Anti-Speech, certainly.
gravenimage says
Grimly true.
dan christensen says
The preacher effectively says that allah and muslims cannot hide from God and Christians.
Only stupid politicians and cops can hide from the people behind their monopoly of violence.
The behaviour of P.C. politicians and their police indicates that they are afraid and scared of the muslim invaders; so scared in fact, that they are prepared to sacrifice free speech on allah’s altar.
When the British police force have been reduced to “Sharia police”, the muslims know that their strategy with playing the offended victim was the best, considering the lack of military hardware to complete the islamic conquest of Britain.
First the Romans conquered Britain, then the Anglo-Saxon, then the Vikings, then the Normans.
The ongoing conquest is islamic; it is expected to be completed before 2050.
The stone age Briton rulers were replaced by Celtic rulers, who were replaced by Anglo-Saxon rulers, who were replaced by Viking rulers, who were replaced by Norman rulers.
The next muslim rulers come from dry, hot and barren countries. They possess no technology, no science, no arts, no morals, no ethics. The arrive empty handed, only equipped with a raging thirst for rich plunder and rape.
Apparently the British are endowed with an inherent need to replace their ruling class with some new suckers, but this time they really are in deep s….
We wish them luck – they are going to need it.
CRUSADER says
BREXIT should counter the “conquest”.
No Muzzies Here says
The politicians in charge in the UK have realised that the future of the UK is Muslim, and so are moving to consolidate their power by giving favors to Muslims, and by persecuting the people who came from a Christian background, most of whom are Christians in name only.
Indiana Tom says
I was thinking of re-invading England. We could teach them to speak English,read and write, be Capitalists and have a market economy, Christianize them, introduce English Common Law, provide a functioning republic based on rule of law, introduce English history, traditions and holidays to them, introduce classic English literature to them, Maybe we could Anglicize the English? I know we tried this during the American invasion of England in WW2, but they were underpaid, undersexed, and under Eisenhower at the time. Perhaps with proper nation building techniques, we could do better the next time around?
John Allan says
So we now have a Muslim police force? In a Christian country? That should prove interesting.

Soon they’ll be arresting people in the UK for buying security alarms for their homes. They’ll be charged with Burglaphobia.

It is almost that bad, Hudson. Britons have been prosecuted for defending their homes against burglars.
