Nissar\u2019s testimony however is one of a UK Christian who has suffered due to the intolerance<br \/>\n    that is so common amongst those who claim Islam as their religion.<\/p>\n<p>The event was organised by the British Pakistani Christian Association a group who have been providing counselling, and support to the family. The<br \/>\n    BPCA have been helping Nissar and his family get back on their feet after a period of severe threats and attacks.&nbsp;In NIssar\u2019s case this intolerance<br \/>\n    towards a convert from Islam began with sneers and verbal abuse, but quickly developed into destruction of property and ultimately an abhorrent violent<br \/>\n    attack on Nissar himself that left him eleven days in hospital. <strong>See video of Nissar&#8217;s attack <a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishpakistanichristians.org\/blog\/nissar-hussain\">(click here)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BPCA believe, that Nissar&#8217;s account is a wake-up call to UK Christians to stand in genuine empathy with persecuted believers at home and abroad, realising<br \/>\n    that real persecution is happening in our own land.<\/p>\n<p>David Bizley, the vision leader at The Branch says, <span style=\"color: rgb(79, 129, 189);\">\u201cIt is perhaps easier for us to pray and send money to organisations that are ministering to our brothers and sisters away from our direct view, it takes a level of courage though for Christians in the UK to stand up for persecuted brethren right on our doorstep. Words are not enough, it is now time for action!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Wilson Chowdhry, Chairman of the BPCA, said: <span style=\"color: rgb(79, 129, 189);\">&#8220;We are so used to hearing of Christian persecution abroad but the discovery of a 15 year campaign &nbsp;of hatred towards the family of Nissar Hussain, sheds light on growing polarisation in our own communities. &nbsp;The hardline Islam taught in many UK mosques is a breeding ground for hatred that must be curbed. Bridging the gap is essential to bring peace to our future generations.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n    <br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n    <br \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/King1.jpg?Action=thumbnail&amp;algorithm=fill_proportional&amp;width=700\" width=\"700\"><br \/>\n    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A wake-up call sounds in Kings Lynn Last Sunday The Branch Christian Fellowship, Kings Lynn, invited Nissar Hussain a convert from Islam to Christ to their church to share his personal experience of persecution since becoming a Christian.
