It's because the authorities are scared of the Muslim community. Scared that the Religion of Peace has adherents who have no problem with violence and bullying. Islam conquers by violence - all the Islamic countries were once something else (often Christian) but were overrun by Islam. It spreads by violence and the spineless, Godless European elites, be they politicans, judges, media, are all scared witless. They don't have the courage to confront Islam so we have halal and sharia and cousin marriages and honour killings and hijabs and swaggering calls to prayer which the rest of us are expected to tolerate because they are what the violent invaders want. Maybe the next Archbishop of Canterbury should be a Muscular Christian instead of what will probably be a wishy washy liberal woman.
This is disgusting. British cops are acting against Christians like Nazi Brown Shirts did against Jews in Germany before - and during - WWII. That is obvious corruption, immoral, and should be punishable by being fired and put in jail.
Thus it has always been. We are not promised freedom from persecution. The British authorities are the unexpected source of persecution in this case. Christians are not here to live a comfortable life. We are here to serve the Lord in a life of sacrifice. We have the words of Life and bring the risen Saviour. We have gospel which changes people and offers eternal life.
It’s no my gospel. It’s God’s good news and it will never be completely suppressed. Persecution is much worse in China, Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan. Africa but Christians hang on to Jesus despite the prospect of death, torture and imprisonment. The church grows in places where the persecution is worst. We show the life of Christ in the way we live and cannot but share the good news of eternal life.

"During WW2" is rather an exaggeration...
They murdered the Jews during WW2.
The descent into murder passed through a number of stages. Every genocide does.

We are quite obviously a threat.
How does your gospel change and improve the lives of others if it cannot be heard? A sacrificial lamb is still a sheep.
"Rise, and rise again, like lambs becoming lions."

The gospel is spread not by demeaning street corner preaching. Jesus personally warned against praying on the street corners.
The gospel is spread (Matthew 25) by clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty. It is spread by inviting the stranger.
Let him who have ears hear, and become doers of the Word...
Appeasement will literally be the death of us !
State enforced compliance with appeasement, was this what made our nation great ?
I would support the preacher taking a private prosecution against the men harassing him to take his koran. Disgraceful that the police did nothing.
I agree with banning amplification. I don’t want anybody booming their views or music at me while I’m going about my business.
This is terrifying
Christians aren't likely to riot, or behead someone for insulting Jesus.
They're seen as a soft touch and easy target.
You'd think the Left would identify more with Christianity and its turn-the-other-cheek and be kind to strangers ideology. But they don't.
Thanks for this excellent analysis. Things are going backwards at a pace!
Have cross posted.
