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.
https://x.com/PaulEmbery/status/2024952202872139923Is 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.
To her immense credit, the officer did not allow herself to be cowed or intimidated. ‘In this country we have freedom of speech’, she told them forthrightly. ‘You guys don’t have to see eye to eye, you don’t need to agree, and you’re all more than welcome to stand here and have conversations with them’, she said.
But these men were not interested in ‘conversations’. They wanted the preacher to be punished – presumably for blasphemy, for daring to declare a belief in a faith other than Islam. One of the Muslim men said he called the police because he heard a man say ‘an offensive word about the religion’. According to the Daily Mail, one of the mob told the preacher not to ‘say Muhammed’. Another said, ‘Your God is a Jew’. When the policewoman arrived, a man implored her to recognise that ‘This is east London, this is Whitechapel – it’s a Muslim area’. Another chimes in to say the Christian preacher was ‘offending our prophet’. ‘I would recommend you just move away and don’t listen to him’, she said in response.
Islamic sectarians have been remarkably successful in using the police for their own ends. Whether the police feel intimidated or simply believe it is their role to respond to the demands of certain ‘community leaders’, they have been more than willing to keep certain areas ‘Muslim’ at the behest of sectarian bigots. Just last month, the Met banned a ‘Walk with Jesus’ march, planned by UKIP, from going through Whitechapel on the grounds that it would be ‘provocative’ to local Muslims. Last year, West Midlands Police banned Jewish Israeli supporters from travelling to Birmingham to watch Maccabi Tel Aviv play Aston Villa, after learning that some local Muslims were arming themselves in preparation for the visit. Worse still, the police fabricated evidence to suggest the Jews were the group most likely to stir up trouble. They colluded in a lie to placate Islamic sectarians and to cover their violent intentions.
