Guest Speaker: Nissar Hussain<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nyears of persecution in his current town of Bradford simply for rejecting Islam for Christianity He and his family have, to date, faced around 15
\nyears of almost relentless persecution. This has taken many forms including: an arson attack which forced them to relocate; intimidation; a mob gathering
\noutside their house; false accusations against Nissar; threats to the women; assaults; verbal abuse; stones through their living room windows; and countless
\ncars destroyed. In November last year the hatred culminated in an attack by two men armed with pick-axe handles, leaving him hospitalized for two weeks.<\/p>\n
\na hate crime. Moreover, the attack on Nissar was completely ignored by his MP Naz Shah, who even when interviewed on ITV about the matter just before
\nhis attack, stated that she believed the attack was a neighbourhood dispute. A comment that Nissar Hussain believes undermined his campaign for justice
\nand resonated with the apathy she had towards apostates.<\/p>\n\n
\n <\/li>\n
\n is believed Nissar’s attack was deemed a local argument, due to other local Christians being free of persecution. A naive lack of understanding
\n of the religious motivation that has ruined the lives of the Hussain family.
\n <\/li>\n
\n <\/li>\n
\n the principle of freedom that makes western culture so attractive.
\n
A clampdown on extremism with stiffer more appropriate penalties for those involved.
\n
A thorough investigation into the extent of extremism in our political sphere following the revelations of rife antisemitism within the Labour
\n Party.<\/p>\n
