Christian Missionaries Arrested at Arab Festival
2010-06-21
In Dearborn, Michigan. Four Christian missionaries trying to convert Muslims were arrested and jailed Friday for disorderly conduct at an Arab festival in Dearborn, police said.

"We did make four arrests for disorderly conduct," Dearborn Police Chief Ron Haddad said Saturday. "They did cause a stir."
Haddad is a common Lebanese Christian name.
Nabeel Qureshi of Virginia and David Wood of New York, both with a Christian group called Acts 17 Apologetics, were arrested with two others after they were said to be causing disruptive behavior, police said.

#5  What I expect happened is that the 'Religion of Peace' started threatening extreme-violence so they arrested the Christians for exercising their rights.

More coverage including pictures and video here.

Also this video (takes a while...) - apparently they were not allowed to hand out pamphlets within 5 blocks of the festival either.



Question: How many constitutional rights does this violate.

here's the link to the group members from Acts 17 Apologetics that were arrested. Really infuriating to think this is going on in the U.S.

#3  My jaw has literally hit the floor. I am astonished but, what exactly was the disturbance? How disorderly were they exactly? And if we're gonna start persecuting Christians can we please start with Fred Phelps and the Westboro Babtist Church? We should also think of putting the Catholic church under surveillance. No, seriously, this is not supposed to happen in the U.S. and I hope Christians go to their aid as quickly as possible.

#2  And so Sharia law arrives in the United States.

Who knew Sharia Law supercedes the US Constitution?
