The latest assault on Christians is happening in Speakers’ Corner in London’s Hyde Park. A Christian man has been told that he can no longer display his banner, which declares nothing more than “The blood of Jesus Christ.” Whether this ban on signage is a new law that will be applied to any and all posters being hung by every religious denomination, as well as the rest of the speakers who pontificate at the park, remains to be seen.
As a victim of homophobic abuse from a bunch of Muslim regulars at Speakers’ Corner, which I reported to the police at the time of occurrence, I was told that had the death threats against me happened just metres from where I was standing (outside the park), then the police could make arrests. Speakers’ Corner, as it happens, is outside the law of the UK, according to the Met police. Anything goes, they told me. Anything except a declaration of an allegiance to Jesus. Call for jihad in the name of Muhammad and it’s fine, but make calls for people to come together in Christ and that’s a step too far for the cops in Hyde Park.
This isn’t the first time we’re seeing double standards by the police in relation to Christian preachers here in the UK. Three men were arrested and charged in Bristol for the offence of reading from the Bible on a public street. Meanwhile, dawah stalls litter a large number of streets in London, from Dalston Junction to Woolwich, over to Kilburn and beyond. There is a permanent one set up in Leicester Square which blasts music (noise pollution) and hands out free Qurans and bad advice. These men never get tackled by police or shut down or asked to move along. They certainly don’t get arrested. Lee Rigby’s killers were free to walk around Greenwich park distributing extremist Islamic material with no complaints from the public, and no arrests made by the police. The three Christian men in Bristol, however, were mocked by the public, and the police were applauded and cheered when they made the arrests. It’s a scene that replicates the mocking of Jesus during his arrest, trial and punishment on his way to the cross.
The arresting of Christian preachers can be contrasted with the way the UK police interact with Muslim preachers on the streets. The police generally stand there, impotent, whilst taking a belly and an earful of verbal abuse from yet another angry Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” at them. The police, in these instances, in a bid to save face in the eyes of the public, are shamed into making a reluctant arrest. And any arrest of a Muslim preacher is not made without the fear of violent reprisal towards the arresting officers. The cops know this, and so they pick on the easy religious targets such as truly peaceful Christians.
The banners that are normally on display in the very small section of Hyde Park that is known as Speakers’ Corner generally verge on the ridiculous. The Blood of Jesus Christ pales in comparison to the rest of the posters and banners which generally tell of the end of the world being nigh, advocate for socialism, claim that meat is murder, offer free psychic healing and hugs, as well as tell tales of extraterrestrial life forms sending radio signals to interfere with our brains. The most offensive sign that I’ve seen at Speakers’ Corner, and on the majority of dawah stalls, are those that tell me Jesus is a Muslim. No, Jesus is not a Muslim. As a Christian, I would not get away with putting up a poster stating that Muhammad was a Christian. I’d be met by a braying mob before being swiftly arrested. The Blood of Jesus is not an offensive statement; it is the very heart of Christianity. The Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation states that we drink it in the Communion wine, with Christ’s body being found and ingested in the wafer.
The Christ energy invigorates the Western world. You could be forgiven for thinking that He is the blueprint for liberalism and leftist ideals — love thy neighbour, welcome the other, communal eating with outcasts, giving of your own wealth to help those in need, and reserving judgement of others whilst here on earth, but His words and deeds are different from big government taking your money from you and redistributing it without your permission. All of that just for starters. The blood of Jesus is understood to be salvific to the Christian mind. It is healing and redemptive. Why is Jesus’ death becoming a dangerous thing to the UK police? It’s baffling to me why our authorities and the general public seem to be siding with Islam rather than Christianity. What has gone wrong with us as a people and a nation that the blood of Christ is becoming a dirty thing in the eyes and minds of the public?

Very good analysis by Joshua Winston of the double standards currently used by police whenever Muslims are involved. Leftards are using Islam to destroy Europe’s Christian culture. After they destroy Christian Europe, the Leftards think they can easily destroy their Islamic ‘noble savages’ and convert them to Globalist Leftism … sure … ‘easy’. Stalin tried that and the Chinese are putting putting thousands in re-education camps.
In the UK, Muslim feelings are considered to be more important than the feelings of all others. This is putting the law totally into the realm of SUBJECTIVITY and selective outrage … which should never happen.
While it should be illegal to solicit murder or genocide, it should never be illegal to promote ideas, no matter how unreasonable or foolish.
At one time, before Galileo, it was unreasonable and foolish to say the earth revolved around the sun!
What is going to awaken UK out of its Leftist dream? While many Britons know some proverbial ‘nice Muslims’, almost no one in UK has done the study of Islam that would permit them to master any of Islam’s supremacist political teachings.
British politicians especially are about 90% naive and/or STUPID about Islam.

Elizabeth II — Defender of the Faith?
mortimer says
Queen Elizabeth is a very devout evangelical Christian. She should tell some of her bishops to go out and stop the arrests of Christian preachers.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, is she not the head of the Church of England? Wouldn’t that put her on the same level in her Church as the Pope is in the Roman Catholic Church? Yet, I hear little to nothing from her on matters of religion. Her bishops are probably busy doing the same as some of the Pope’s bishops — helping Muslims build more mosques.
Salome says
No. It’s more a ‘constitutional’ thing, like the constitutional monarchy. She acts on advice of Parliament, but basically leaves it to the bishops to run things.
CogitoErgoSum says
I should have looked at the Church of England website first. It says the archbishops of Canterbury and York are jointly responsible for the vision of direction of the Church. The Queen is the Supreme Governor of the Church and she appoints archbishops, bishops and deans of cathedrals on the advice of the Prime Minister. So while she does not exactly lead the Church she has control over who gets to be the leaders. That’s still quite a bit of power and control over the Church.
CogitoErgoSum says
Oh, here is the link to the page from the Church of England website that contains that information:

Jedothek says
In what sense is she evangelical?
Salome says
It means she isn’t into bells and smells like her late mother.
R Russell says
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, refused to assist Nissar Hussain the Christian convert from Islam who was hospitalised after one of several attacks on him as an apostate. I doubt the church of England will be of any assistance.
Trick_or_Treat says
Evangelical? Where does this woman normally do her evangelising? You Tube? Hilll (heretic) Channel? Inyourfacebook? Don’t recall having seen her about. Is there anyone she’s led to Christ in the past year willing to put their hand up?
Like ‘Christian’, or (excuse me) “Defender of theFaith” [lol], or one of those ‘Jesus Saves’ or ‘<' bumper stickers, it's a 'nice' tag I suppose.
Trick_or_Treat says
PS: …about as “devout” as she is “Evangelical” it would appear.
Nevertheless, Christ is coming for the Church soon – very soon. Have YOU accepted Him as Lord and Saviour yet? Are YOU ready and prepared?
….and scumbag Epstein DIDN’T kill himself!

The UK is in process of welcoming its new overlords, and they will eliminate the Christians when they get into power. The UK is preparing Christians for their future.

Some Christians are praying for revival. David Hathaway and Clifford Hill organise meetings.
Angemon says
Or people who say “mean” things online.
James Lincoln says
Angemon says,
“The cops …pick on the easy religious targets such as truly peaceful Christians.”
Apparently it is safer, at least in the short run, for the cops to go after the low hanging fruit…
mortimer says
I think if this preacher returned with a lord bishop or two, dressed in full clericals, there would be no arrest. The religious leaders of the UK are not doing their job. They should be going out to support street preachers and lending their support to them. The UK is officially in law Christian. No Christian preacher should ever be arrested for preaching a Christian doctrine.
CogitoErgoSum says
Indeed, and where is the Queen and the other royals? Just what faith are they defending? (And Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself.)
FYI says
I admire Christian Street Preachers as they preach the authentic Gospel as it really is, emphasising the need for repentance.
It is interesting to watch muslim dawa teams vs Christian Evangelists:The muslims are using their pagan Arab god’s false knowledge to justify their evil cult whereas the Christians are speaking through the Holy Spirit.
idiotically.the muslims claim they win these “debates” but in terms of WISDOM they lose as they have not understood{or chose not to understand}God’s Wisdom and persist in their delusion that alla is god /Christians are polytheists etc.
The main reason the muslims run away when confronted by the Truth is 1}that they prefer the freedom to do the evil allah permits them to do
2}they know full well that muhammed cannot have been a morally good example:yet they defend rape,pederasry etc
3}2 thessalonians 2 v 10-12;the real reason: By rejecting the Truth given to them by the Christian preachers they prefer instead to be guided by “the power of error so that they believe what is false”
And Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself
Jayell says
How can anyone in their right mind claim that a person was a member of a group or movement that didn’t exist in any way, shape or form when that person was alive? There is some logic in saying that Mohammed might a ‘Christian’ to some extent if Jesus’s teachings were incorporated into islam. That would be highly dubious, however, because although muslims claim to venerate ‘Isa’, none of his key teachings seem to be in the Qur’an.
By the way, and slightly off the point, UK readers might like to know that a young man might be sent to prison because he’s been convicted of Hate Speech at York Crown Court for saying that ‘muslims should be wiped off the face of the earth’. The fact the muslims already do this sort of thing regularly and furthermore have a habit of actually wiping people that they don’t like off the face of the earth appears to be neither here nor there.
Spiro says
That’s amazing England surrendered without
a shot being fired
I guess next they’ll proclaim Islam the equal to the church of England or maybe superior
Anna Yelena says
I read a while back, in a magazine called The Trumpet, a deranged fanatic Muslim stated that they will take England from the inside out. Looks like they’re succeeding and we might add all of Europe. The Cult of Mo is alive.

Yep, …even though the enemy invader walks right up and hits them fair over the head with it! Like, how f**kin’ THICK are their skulls?!

Don’t forget to add stupidity. Let’s hope we can stop the Islamic threat in America, for this might happen to us https://thegreatarchitect.blog/2019/11/18/the-islamic-states-of-america/
R Russell says
The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanses us from all sin.
This is why they don’t want the Blood mentioned.
But the blood shall never lose its power. Look up the hymn on YouTube and declare the power of the Lord Jesus Christ.

somehistory says
Jesus did warn His followers that they would be “hated by the world,” and “persecuted because of His Name.” He said, “Count the cost,” knowing that this treatment would be part of that cost, part of the price one pays for his faith and the rewards that come because of that faith.
And the Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian Christians, “To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; to the other, a fragrance that brings life.”
The moslims smell the odor of death, and so do the other people who find the blood of Christ to be offensive, something to avoid and to sneer at with contempt. This contempt is spreading.
