The End Of England?

Culture: Two Christian preachers in Britain have been told that trying to spread the gospel to Muslims is a hate crime. It’s another sign that much of England has given up on being England.
British media are reporting that Arthur Cunningham and Joseph Abraham, American evangelical ministers who’ve been living in Great Britain for years, were told by a police community support officer to “stop handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham.”
Cunningham said the officer told him and Abraham in February that they “were in a Muslim area and were not allowed to spread our Christian message. He said we were committing a hate crime by telling the youths to leave Islam and said that he was going to take us to the police station.”
The men also said the officer told them that if they returned, they would “get beaten up.” It’s not clear from media reports who would administer the beatings, the Muslims or the police.
Either way, this is another disturbing example of a great nation ceding its culture because its elites are too invested in political correctness. They’re so intent on establishing themselves as models of tolerance and moral defenders of diversity that they’re willing to be cowed by the radical elements of Islam that are eating away at their civilization.
Already the archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has said that “Shariah law is inevitable” in the United Kingdom, and menacing no-go areas in Muslim neighborhoods where non-Muslims should fear to tread have cropped up.
Maybe Williams has given up…
