Back on February 23, 2019, a Christian street-preacher by the name of Oluwole Ilesanmi (Olu) was arrested and then de-arrested for failure to cease his messaging at a London subway station.
Apparently, Olu was getting under the skin of some Muslim passengers, who then complained to London police when they could not get him to stop.
The police showed up, gave him some verbal commands and threats, slapped the handcuffs on him and hauled him away a couple of miles from the scene—and then released him!
How nice of the Islamophobic London police.
Mr. Ilesanmi had to rely on some good Samaritans help him purchase a bus ticket to get home.
Later, the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, who is a shariah-compliant Muslim, addressed a London Assembly of city councilpersons over the bully tactics of the police.
According to Khan, “It’s always been clear that freedom of speech is critical and must be protected, but also the police must be able to investigate when allegations are made of a criminal offense.”
What criminal offense was committed, you might ask?
He allegedly made “Islamophobic” comments during his preaching discourse.
Of course, “Islamophobic” these days could mean just about anything.
If a Christian asserted that Jesus is the Son of God within the earshot of a Muslim, that could be construed as Islamophobic.
If the Christian correctly pointed out the pedophile life of Muhammad—Muhammad married his six year-old bride, Aisha, and then raped her when she was nine—that could be construed as Islamophobic too.
Islamophobic and Islamophobia are really nothing more than thought-stopping terms used by those who are either ill-equipped or misinformed about Islam to prevent those who do know what Islam is all about from talking about or criticizing it.
So, instead of discussing it in a meaningful or rational way, they resort to what amounts to ad hominem (personal attacks or insults) argumentation to shut down any effort of having to rebut or defend what they claim they believe or know about Islam.
In December 2017, Olu was arrested and acquitted on a similar charge, when two Muslims objected to his criticism of the Koran. So, the recent episode of Muslim bully tactics is nothing new.

Then, Mayor Khan said, “Police officers have to strike a difficult balance on this issue on a regular basis and in complex circumstances, such as policing protests and public order incidents.”
First, Mr. Ilesanmi was not protesting, nor was this a public order incident. He was street preaching, which the London councilman had pointed out was something that had been going on for hundreds of years.
Second, Khan’s comment makes a person wonder what he thinks the police’s role ought to be when his Muslim brethren are constantly preaching their hate-filled messages of beheading those who insult Islam and that the Muslims will dominate the world?
He would probably have them turn a blind eye.
In response, London councilman David Kurten questioned whether Christian street preachers should be able to read from any portion of the Bible, presumably out in the open, on a street corner, without the fear of being arrested, much like Mr. Ilesanmi was on February 23.
Instead of answering the councilman’s question, the mayor side-stepped it with a comment about “public order concerns or breach the peace,” both of which had nothing to do with why Khan was being asked his position.
Then, Khan showed his true Islamist colors when he stated, “There is not an unlimited right to freedom of expression or free speech. There are limitations; there is a balancing that needs to be done…and that includes discourses about religion,” which means discourses about Islam.
In other words, speak freely, but be careful who might be listening.
Because if a militant Muslim is standing nigh-by and he or she does not like what you are saying, then free speech has breached the limit and it must be shut down at the risk of calling the police to have the perpetrator of the truth arrested.
Welcome to the world of the shariah-compliant concept of “free speech.”
Actually, there is another term that better describes such “freedom.” It is called fascism.
The London mayor is a fascist bully and unfortunately the Brits are being slowly bullied into Islamic submission.
For if something as God-ordained as proclamation of the truth of the Bible, which would entail the condemnation of all worldviews contrary to its central message, which is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and redemption of mankind, is suppressed as “hate speech” or “Islamophobic,” then you may rest assured that fascist rule is the order of the day, as there is no longer any such thing as “free speech.”
What is pathetically and equally sad is that what happened with Olu Ilesanmi is a microcosm of what is taking place around the world.
The lie of Islam and any effort to expose it as such has gained sway over so many non-Muslims, who do not have a clue that they have been duped into believing all the “Islamophobia” finger-pointing nonsense, that they are like putty in the Islamist’s hands.
I sure hope they enjoy bowing toward Mecca, wearing a burka, or praising the wonders of Islam, one day soon.
After all, they will be “free” to do so.
