Islamization in the UK > Pastor arrested in London for preaching Easter sermon in public

 

UK: Pastor arrested while preaching returns to street for first time in four months to deliver public Easter sermon


Britain’s policing has starkly evolved into a two-tier system. DEI water-carriers who are influenced by the “Islamophobia” subterfuge have driven the development of this two-tier system, which is seen in other leftist-run countries also. For instance, offending Muslims and the aggressive trans lobby has become “hate speech,” no questions asked. To ask questions or to preach in accordance with Christian ethics is no longer tolerated. However, insulting Christians and Jews and even screaming “from the River to the Sea” (which is a call to obliterate the state of Israel from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea) with terrorist flags raised and the police and other authorities will ignore you.

This older video exposes a pattern in Britain. It shows harassment from “ill-informed” police who are targeting Christians in public, in what has been termed “two tier policing” for some time:

CBN also reported on “persecution in the UK”…

The Alliance Defending Freedom described how the police interrogation of Moodley showed anti-Christian bias….

During the interview, Avon and Somerset Police officers asked Pastor Moodley questions, which indicated ideological bias and a failure to understand basic Christian beliefs.

For example, according to Pastor Moodley, the police asked why the pastor preached in an area where he knew Muslims would be present, suggesting there is no right to free speech in such areas. In reality, Pastor Moodley was preaching to all people present in the city centre of Bristol.

Also according to the pastor, most of the police questions focused on his comments on transgender ideology and police asked whether he should criticise the ideology as a Christian.

Pastor arrested while preaching returns to street for first time in 4 months

by Fintan Starkey, GB News, April 4, 2026:

Dia Moodley, 58, was taken into custody in November on suspicion of “inciting religious hatred” following a street sermon where he criticised Islam and transgender ideology, his legal representatives say.

The father of four alleges that Avon and Somerset Constabulary questioned him about why he chose to preach in an area where Muslims would be present.

“I’ve been arrested for something which is absolutely ludicrous. I did nothing [wrong], but here I am on Saturday going out again to preach during Easter time,” he said.

Mr Moodley argues that Muslims can gather publicly for prayer in London without consequence, while he faces potential arrest for Christian preaching, a disparity he characterises as “two-tier policing”.

Germany: 50% of Muslims under the age of 40 have ‘Islamist’ attitudes


We were told that Sharia-adherent Muslims and Islamic jihadis were a “tiny minority of extremists.” We were lied to.

‘Societal time bomb’ – Explosive German police study finds that nearly 1 out of every 2 Muslims under 40 has ‘Islamist’ attitudes

Remix News, March 12, 2026:

A newly released study by the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), nearly 50 percent of Muslims under the age of 40 in Germany hold “Islamist” views, with these Muslims expressing an attraction to Islamism, a preference for Sharia law over the German Basic Law, and harboring anti-Semitic prejudices.

The findings, described as “explosive in nature,” were featured in the latest edition of the “Motra Monitor.” The study reports that as of 2025, Muslims in Germany under the age of 40 (45.1 percent) hold “latent or manifestly Islamist attitudes.“…

Germany is far from the only country seeing the rise of Islamism within the populace. A sobering study from the prestigious polling service Ifop from last year shows that hardline views are growing amongst Muslims in France, including an emphasis on the laws of Islam being placed over those of the state, particularly among young Muslims. At the same time, Christianity is collapsing in France.

Among Muslims in general, 44 percent polled say they “respect the rules of Islam” as being more important “than respect for French laws.” For those aged 15-24, 57 percent believe the rules of Islam are more important than “respect for French laws.”

Some 38 percent of French Muslims approve of all or part of Islamist positions, doubling the figure of 19 percent in 1998, underlines Ifop.

Correspondingly, the share of Muslims who want Islam to modernize has fallen from 48 percent in 1998 to 21 percent today. When Ifop requested respondents to choose between the Civil Code and Sharia law on “an important subject in your family, such as ritual slaughter, marriage or inheritance,” 49 percent of Muslims chose to respect French laws, down from 62 percent in 1995. The consumption of alcohol among Muslim men has also fallen sharply, from 46 percent in 1989 to only 26 percent today.

Today, 33 percent of Muslims residing in France — French citizens or foreign nationals — feel sympathy for one of the Islamist movements, a figure that rises to 42 percent among young people. Within this population, 3 percent have sympathy for the most radical and bloody ideology, jihadism.

Italy expels Muslim migrant imam who cited Qur’an as endorsement for marrying 9-year-old girls


  By 
15 Comments

Imagine the embarrassment of Italian authorities when they discover that this imam was right, and that the Qur’an does sanction marriage to prepubescent girls (cf. 65:4). Will they expel all the imams in the country then? Why do Western authorities continue to insist that they know everything about Islam while actually knowing nothing, and to pretend that every Muslim who acts upon the Qur’an or teaches others to do so is an “extremist” who is misunderstanding and misinterpreting the religion’s core texts? How long will this delusion continue?

Undercover Report Exposes Imam Offering Quranic Justification for Child Brides

by Jules Gomes, Middle East Forum, April 4, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Italy has expelled an imam of Pakistani origin who sparked massive outrage after he was filmed in an undercover investigation citing the Qur’an as an endorsement for marrying girls at the age of nine.

On April 2, the Italian daily Il Giornale reported that Paolo Sartori, the police commissioner of Brescia, known as Italy’s Islamic “capital,” ordered the deportation of Ali Kashif, who told a reporter for the TV program Fuori dal Coro that girls can be married after their first period.

Sartori examined footage filmed by Francesco Leone, a reporter from Channel 4, who posed as an Italian wanting to convert to Islam and seeking to know if the Muslim religion permits older men to marry child brides.

Based on evidence from the undercover investigation, the police commissioner determined that Kashif could be immediately expelled under Article 4, paragraph 3, of Italy’s Consolidated Law on Immigration. The law gives police the power to remove a foreigner who “is considered a threat to public order or the security of the State” or has been involved in sex-related crimes.

Brescia police also discovered that Kashif did not possess a valid residence permit to live in Italy and refused to issue him a new residence permit when the imam applied for the document.

Instead, Sartori ordered that Kashif be immediately escorted to Milan Malpensa Airport, where he was put on board the flight to Islamabad, with a stopover in Bangkok, accompanied by immigration officers….



Easter Sunday's Islamic Massacres > 60 Christians injured by Muslim Truck driver on Easter; 24 killed in two attacks in Nigeria; 27 loggers had their throats slit, 11 more people murdered near Chibok

 

Pakistan: Muslim driver intentionally crashes truck into Easter Christian procession, over 60 Christians injured



If this had happened in France or Germany or the United States, the cops would be saying that the motive is unclear. It’s actually just as clear when it happens in those countries as it is in this case.




Nigeria: Muslims storm Benue state community on Easter Sunday, murdering 17 people and setting houses on fire


Nigeria suffered three jihad attacks within 24 hours.

The night before Easter Sunday, Muslims stormed a Christian area and set a church and homes on fire in Borno state.

Then Muslims attacked two churches in Kaduna state on Easter Sunday, murdering at least seven Christians.

Also on Eastern Sunday, Muslims killed at least seventeen people in Benue state.

Now tell us more about “Islamophobia.”

Dozens Killed in Nigeria Jihadist Attacks: Residents, Militias

Defense Post, April 4, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

At least 38 people were killed this week in suspected extremist attacks on loggers and a village in northeast Nigeria, anti-jihadist militia and residents told AFP on Friday.

Late on Tuesday, fighters from Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), a group linked to the Islamic State group, rounded up loggers in a forest outside the town of Mafa, killing 27 and abducting 18 others, two anti-jihadist militia said.

“They slit the throats of 27 loggers and took away 18 others whose fate is still unknown,” Babakura Kolo, a militia fighter assisting the Nigerian military, said.

His account was supported by Ibrahim Liman, another militia fighter who said the loggers were from Mafa, 60 kilometers (40 miles) from the Borno state capital, Maiduguri.

A triple suicide bombing last month killed 23 people in Maiduguri, in one of the deadliest attacks in the state capital in years.

Amnesty International said in a post on X that “20 internally displaced persons” were killed and 30 abducted while collecting firewood in the forest near Mafa.

ISWAP and rival jihadist organisation Boko Haram have increasingly targeted farmers, fishermen, loggers, herders, and metal scrap collectors in the region, accusing them of spying on them and passing information to the military.

On Monday, ISWAP fighters raided Kautikeri village outside the town of Chibok, killing 11 people and burning homes, a community leader said.

“The terrorists attacked the village and killed 11 people. They burned several homes and barns before retreating to their enclave in nearby Sambisa forest,” said Manasseh Allen, head of the Chibok Area Development Association (CADA), a sociocultural union in the Chibok district….
