    UK government refuses to say whether proclaiming divinity of Christ is a hate crime
    Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me

    The question was: “Will they confirm unequivocally that a Christian who says that Jesus is the only son of the one true God cannot be arrested for hate crime or any other offence, however much it may offend a Muslim or anyone of any other religion?”

    The answer: “My Lords, I am not going to comment on that last question from the noble Lord.”




    In an age when British police are devoting astonishing amounts of time to arresting people for speech that offends Muslims, this is no surprise. When you’re busy enforcing Sharia, how can you confirm that you won’t arrest someone for offending Muslims and making an un-Islamic statement?

    “British Government refuses to say whether proclaiming divinity of Christ is a hate crime,” Catholic Herald, December 14, 2017:

    The British government has refused to say whether telling people about the Christian faith could be a hate crime.

    Lord Pearson of Rannoch, a UKIP peer, says when he raised a question on the issue on the House of Lords, the government failed to state clearly whether Christians cannot be prosecuted just for stating their beliefs.

    “I said to the government ‘Will they confirm unequivocally that a Christian who says that Jesus is the only son of the one true God cannot be arrested for hate crime or any other offence, however much it may offend a Muslim or anyone of any other religion?’”

    In response to the question, government whip Baroness Vere of Norbiton said: “My Lords, I am not going to comment on that last question from the noble Lord.” She added that the legal definition of “hate crime” has been the same for the past 10 years.

    Speaking to Premier Christian Radio, Lord Pearson said the refusal to comment was “pretty unique” and “makes one very worried”.

    He said the current definition of “hate crime”, which relies on whether the victim feels offended
