Is it legal to preach Christianity in London? Apparently, the answer to this question isn’t obvious – at least to some residents of Whitechapel in east London.
Last week, a truly depressing video emerged. It showed a young, female Metropolitan Police officer, surrounded by Muslim men on a street in Whitechapel. They demanded to know why a Christian preacher, proselytising outside the nearby East London Mosque, had not been arrested.
Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel “is a Muslim area”, she was calm and professional and gave them short shrift. Let’s see more of this from the police. pic.twitter.com/EfnaYBlCGQ
