| Britain: Cops tell Christian convert “stop being a crusader and move" | |
| 2008-04-28 | |
| A British man who was attacked after converting to Christianity from Islam was told by police to "move to another place", it has emerged. Nissar Hussein, 43, from Bradford, West Yorkshire converted from Islam to Christianity with his wife, Qubra, in 1996. A report by Christian Solidarity Worldwide, quoted in the Times, says he was subjected to a number of attacks and, after being told that his house would be burnt down if he did not return to Islam, alerted the police. However, the report says Mr Hussein was told that such threats were rarely carried out and that he should “stop being a crusader and move to another place”. A few days later an unoccupied property next door to Mr Hussein's house was set on fire. The report, titled No Place to Call Home, claims that apostates from Islam are subject to “gross and wide-ranging human rights abuses”. “When identities are precarious, their enforcement will take an aggressive form.”

| #8 Monitor whoever goes near the place and does something wrong. Anyone who does surveillance, looks at the place crosswise, or burns it down gets deported back to country of origin. |

| #6 He would get the same advice about moving here in the US but the cops would just be being realistic, they can't be everywhere all the time. He however would not be told to stop being a "crusader." That makes a big difference. I don't have much faith in the police anyway or anywhere. Cops here in the US see their job as putting as many people in prison as they can as the metric they are measured by. That isn't to reassuring in a country that seems to generate laws designed to make everyone a criminal. |

| #5 I asked a well-educated, affluent British fellow recently about his country's policies on guns. He allowed that he didn't really like discussing the matter with Americans because it could lead to nothing good. When I asked him whether the reports on rising crime in Britain were true, he admitted they probably were but since he "lived in a safe area where that kind of thing didn't happen," he didn't worry about it. Speaking of that area, he remarked that he made a very good income for the U.K. but that it was extremely expensive to live there and that he truly had no idea how his neighbors managed to afford their dwellings/lifestyle in the same area. My last question to him was to ask why Muslims could openly parade down one of London's main streets carrying signs that said "Infidels Will Be Beheaded" and "To Hell with Freedom," when he would get an ASBO for even publicly admitting that he disapproved of homosexuality. His response? "It's a worrying situation." These people are truly living in denial. Britain is a LOT closer to a societal crash than most of us think. If their economy goes south in any major way, things there are going to get real bad real fast. From my conversation with this fellow I can certainly see why their internal enemies think they're ripe for the plucking. |

| #4 That's why anyone who wants to take away our guns needs to be hounded out of the country. I don't know that they would be hounded ... |

| #3 People in europe, differently from those in USA, have given up their duties (defence, crime control, justice) to authorities, and lost control of them. That's why anyone who wants to take away our guns needs to be hounded out of the country. That goes for both hillarity and BO, since both have said openly they hate guns. I can understand hillarity, who, like all criminals, fear a gun-toting populace, but BO is just plain stupid. |

| #2 "Then let the cops stake out the former residence and nab the arsonist when he comes. And he'll come." I envy you your optimism :) In UK and PC Europe in general, police has turned to managers - managing the decline, as precisely it has been named. Essence of the management of the decline: keep records of crime as low as possible. Say, Denmark: local news agency films the proof, but police refuses to check the local bazar for open trade of khat since "tasks are prioritized, amount of attention depends on other crimes commited at the area". Another one: thefts of notebook PCs not registered since "there is already too many of them stolen every day". People in europe, differently from those in USA, have given up their duties (defence, crime control, justice) to authorities, and lost control of them. |

| #1 Cops in Britain are reluctant to move against the Islamists. England sinks deeper into the quagmire. |
