UK: Court rules that Christian preacher was lawfully arrested and jailed for holding Islamocritical sign
What do you think? If Ian Sleeper had been an imam holding a sign that said “Ban Christianity,” would authorities have arrested and detained him?
Note that Mr. Justice Sweeting says that Sleeper was detained because of “a risk of harm eventuating to (Mr Sleeper) himself” as well as “risk to ‘other persons’ as a result of public disorder.”
In other words, authorities in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain were afraid Muslims would riot if Sleeper remained on the streets with his sign. Britain, as is more obvious by the day, is finished.
Christian preacher arrested with anti-Islam sign at London Cathedral protest loses High Court battle with Met Police
by Tristan Kirk, The Standard, January 28, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Christian preacher arrested outside a London cathedral with a placard saying “Love Muslims, Ban Islam, the Religion of Terror” has lost a legal claim that he was unlawfully detained by police.
Ian Sleeper was arrested on suspicion of a religiously aggravated public order offence after the incident outside Southwark Cathedral on June 23, 2017.
He staged the protest a few weeks after the London Bridge terror attack, when three Islamic State-inspired extremists killed eight people and injured 48 others in a van and knife rampage through the streets.
Earlier that year, a terrorist carried out an attack on Westminster Bridge, killing five, an Islamophobic van driver killed a Muslim man outside Finsbury Park Mosque, and a suicide bomber took 22 lives at Manchester Arena after an Ariana Grande concert.
Mr Sleeper, 57, was in possession of two signs when he was arrested – one stating “#Love Muslims, Hate Islam, Jesus is Love + Hope” and the other reading: “Love Muslims, Ban Islam, the Religion of Terror”.
The Metropolitan Police defended the rights of officers to intervene and shut down the protest, in the “febrile“ aftermath of a series of terrorist attacks.
He was held in custody by the Metropolitan Police for more than 12 hours before being released on bail, and two months later he was told there would be no criminal charges.
Mr Sleeper, an evangelical Christian preacher, sued Scotland Yard, claiming false arrest, false imprisonment and breach of human rights.
After losing the initial legal battle, he took his case to the High Court, arguing his right to protest had been unlawfully blocked.
But Mr Justice Sweeting ruled on Tuesday that Mr Sleeper’s human rights had not been breached by his detention, and police had a case that his arrest was “necessary”.
“The basis for arrest was not confined to the possibility of a risk of harm eventuating to (Mr Sleeper) himself but extended to the risk to ‘other persons’ as a result of public disorder”, the judge noted.
He backed the conclusion that “the arrest and detention…was lawful.”…
It was lawful, only because Muslims become hysterical at the least bit of criticism.

In well over a thousand years of history, Britain has never needed to curb free speech against any group of people. If anyone deserves such attention, it is the Jews, not the Jew-haters.
UK: Deputy prime minister to create council on ‘Islamophobia,’ set rules on Islam and free speech
In an effort to end the “discrimination and abuse” that Muslims in the UK are supposedly suffering, there will be new restrictions on criticism of Islam, including opposition to Muslim rape gangs and honest discussion of why the members of those gangs thought their actions were justified. No lessons have been learned from the decades-long scandal of British officials refusing to act against the Muslim rape gangs for fear of being accused of “Islamophobia.” Instead, the Labour government is embracing that fear and paving the way for more British girls to be victimized.
Angela Rayner to set rules on Islam and free speech: Ex-Tory Dominic Grieve tipped to head up advisory council but critics warn ‘blasphemy’ law could be created
by Charles Hymas, Telegraph, February 3, 2025:
Angela Rayner is planning to create a council on Islamophobia and is lining up a former Tory minister to lead it, The Telegraph can reveal.
The 16-strong council will help advise on drawing up an official government definition for anti-Muslim discrimination and will provide advice to ministers on tackling Islamophobia, according to sources.
Dominic Grieve, the former Conservative attorney general and a prominent Remainer, has been “recommended” to chair the council within Ms Rayner’s Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) as a politician who has been actively involved in tackling Islamophobia.
He chaired the Citizens’ UK Commission on Islam, which aimed to promote dialogue between Muslim and non-Muslim communities, and wrote a foreword to a controversial all-party parliamentary group’s report in 2018 that set out a definition of Islamophobia, which the Labour Party adopted.
The definition has been criticised for being so widely drawn that it curbs free speech, amounts to a de facto blasphemy law and stifles legitimate criticism of Islam as a religion.
Among the 16 candidates shortlisted for the council is Qari Asim, a Leeds imam who was dismissed as a government adviser by the Tories in 2022 after backing calls for a ban on the film The Lady of Heaven, about the Prophet Mohammed’s daughter….
The all-party group, which was co-chaired by Wes Streeting, who is now the Health Secretary, published its definition in 2018 after an 18-month consultation. It stated: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.”…
Muslimness - is that like blowing up little girls, gang-raping young British girls, slitting throats of people you don't even know, running down crowds of people, etc. etc.?
[Grieve] said it was clear that “perfectly law-abiding Muslims going about their business and well integrated into society are suffering discrimination and abuse”….
What percentage of violent crimes in Britain are committed by Muslims? Can you answer that truthfully?
It's not 85% of British rapists are white, it's 50.9% (Grok). 49.1% are therefore non-white. The vast majority are Pakistani who make up only 3% of the population of England and Wales.

Around 10 (11 now) people were killed on Tuesday in a shooting at an education centre in Sweden, including the suspected gunman, with the Swedish prime minister branding it the "worst mass shooting" in the country's history.
Authorities had initially said that several people were wounded in the violence at Campus Risbergska, a secondary school for young adults in the town of Orebro, but had not reported any fatalities.
School attacks are relatively rare in Sweden, but the country has suffered shootings and bombings linked to gang violence that kill dozens of people each year.
Mostly Muslim gangs - migrants and 2nd generation Muslims, I believe. Often associated with drugs and protection rackets.
"Around 10 people have been killed today," Orebro police chief Roberto Eid Forest told reporters, adding that police could "not be more specific about the number due to the large number of wounded". He provided no details about the number of wounded.
"This is the worst mass shooting in Swedish history," Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson told a press conference.
Forest said police were not aware of a motive yet, but believed the gunman had acted alone.
"This is a terrible event. This is exceptional, a nightmare," Forest said.
Police did not disclose any information about the identity or ages of the dead, nor whether they were students or teachers at the school.
Several media reported the suspected gunman turned his gun on himself but police would not confirm those reports. Kristersson noted a lot of "questions were still unanswered."
In Europe, who is responsible for virtually all massacres in the last ten years?
"But there will come a time when we will know what happened, how it could happen and what motives may have been behind it," Kristersson said, urging people not to "speculate".
'A lot of gunshots'
Forest said police received the first reports of a school shooting at 12:33 pm (1133 GMT), but could not specify how it unfolded.
The attacker is also believed to have carried some form of equipment to create smoke inside the school, he added.
Two Campus Risbergska teachers, Miriam Jarlevall and Patrik Soderman, told newspaper Dagens Nyheter they heard gunfire in a hallway.
"Students came and said someone was shooting. Then we heard more shooting in the hallway. We didn't go out, we hid in our offices," they said.
"There were a lot of gunshots at first and then it was quiet for a half-hour and then it started again. We were lying under our desks, cowering."
Some witnesses told Swedish media they heard what they believed to be automatic gunfire.
Swedish television channel TV4 meanwhile reported that police had raided the suspect's home in Orebro late on Tuesday afternoon.
It said the suspect was around 35 years old and had a license to carry a weapon and no criminal record, but did not provide any details about his identity.
Police have not confirmed that information.
A church near the school was open Tuesday evening to provide support to the community.
Schools in lockdown
Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf said he had received the news of the shooting with "sadness and dismay."
"Tonight we send our condolences to the families and friends of the deceased. Our thoughts at this time are also with the injured and their families, as well as others affected," the king said in a statement published by the palace.
Students in several nearby schools as well as the one in question had been locked in for several hours "for safety reasons" before gradually being released, police said.
A mother whose son was kept indoors at his nearby school for several hours during the police operation told AFP she was "shocked" and "angry".
"My son is at this school behind us, they're locked in too. They have to hide, so I'm waiting for them to evacuate," Cia Sandell, 42, said on Tuesday afternoon.
"This is crazy, totally crazy. I'm angry, I'm shocked. This shouldn't happen," she said.
Though such shootings are rare, several other violent incidents have struck Swedish schools in recent years.
In March 2022, an 18-year-old student stabbed two teachers to death at a secondary school in the southern city of Malmo.
Two months earlier, a 16-year-old was arrested after wounding another student and a teacher with a knife at a school in the small town of Kristianstad.
In October 2015, three people were killed in a racially motivated attack at a school in the western town of Trollhattan by a sword-wielding assailant who was later killed by police.
How many of these incidents were committed by Muslims. We may never know as media, police, and governments refuse to tell innocent Swedes who is killing them. Protecting the criminals and endangering the law-abiding citizens. What madness!

Swedish school mass killing victims included
Syrians and a Bosnian, suspect identified
Feb. 6 (UPI) -- Syrian and Bosnian embassies confirmed Thursday that people from their countries were among the 10 people killed in Sweden's Tuesday Risbergska School shooting.
Syria's Stockholm Embassy confirmed on its Facebook page that its citizens were among the dead as it condemned the attack and extended condolences to families of the victims.
Bosnia's Foreign Ministry confirmed on X that a Bosnian citizen is among the dead.
According to police lead investigator Anna Bergqvist people from several countries, different genders and different ages were among those killed.
Responding to reporter questions, she said police are looking into whether the attack was motivated by racism.
Swedish media Wednesday identified Syrian Orthodox Christian Salim Iskef, 29, as one of the victims.
Police have not released the identities and nationalities of all the victims. Nor have they yet officially designated Rickard Andersson as the mass murder suspect, although investigators believe he did it.
Bergqvist said the suspected mass shooter killed himself.
Bosnian Ambassador to Sweden Bojan Sosic told the BBC, "I find it odd, to say the least, that the police chose to withhold information that pertains to foreign citizens, from respective embassies."
The Risbergska school where the shooting happened offers Swedish classes for immigrants in addition to adult education for people who didn't graduate school.
So it's beginning to look like a far-right attack on Muslims. If so, this is likely to provide Islamophobia crusaders with a lot of ammunition.
The rise of the far right in Europe, IMHO, is due to the perceived lack of anything being done to keep Europeans safe from Muslim gangs, rapists, and terrorists. With officials hiding information about Muslim criminals, the problem is just going to get worse.
