UK: Islamists 'promote jihad in jail'

Just like the hatred that is being preached in the UK Sharia Courts, the hatred stemming from Islam is circulating throughout the UK prison system. This is no surprise though, but if this were not such a serious issue this article could be deemed comical. The authorities have stated that they have it all under control. Meanwhile hate preaching Muslims are actually getting themselves on Islamic TV shows while still in prison. Does reality exist anymore over there?

Islamists 'promote jihad in jail'

Radical Muslims are spreading extremist propaganda and promoting jihad from inside UK jails, a report has claimed.

Counter-extremism think tank the Quilliam Foundation said radicals were also being allowed to lead prayers.

And its report said extremist cleric Abu Qatada had issued fatwas from Long Lartin prison in Worcestershire where he is awaiting deportation.

The Ministry of Justice said it had a dedicated unit to tackle the risk of extremism and radicalisation in prison.

Messages released

The Quilliam Foundation said the study, to be published on Monday, was based largely on accounts sneaked out of prisons by high-profile extremists.

The report said: "Prominent pro al-Qaeda ideologues such as Abu Qatada have been able to smuggle messages out of prison to their supporters.

"Other convicted extremists have issued pro-jihadist statements from prison while others have appeared on Islamic TV stations from within prison.

"In 2008 and 2009, two of the most prominent Arab jihadists imprisoned in the UK released pro-jihadist propaganda and fatwas from within Long Lartin prison.

"Adel Abdel Bary, a leader of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, produced written pro-jihadist tracts from within prison aiming to refute criticism of al-Qaeda, while Abu Qatada issued fatwas from within prison which legitimised jihadist attacks worldwide."

Mid-Worcestershire MP Peter Luff, whose constituency includes Long Lartin, plans to raise the report's findings with Home Secretary Alan Johnson and Justice Secretary Jack Straw.

'Deeply dangerous'

Mr Luff said: "In my view the courts have, in the past, failed to protect us by allowing the release of dangerous individuals from Long Lartin and other prisons, and by delaying the deportation of many others.

"While these deeply dangerous men remain in British custody, we must be absolutely confident that they can do no harm - and these revelations suggest we cannot be confident of that.

"The government must move quickly to address the exceptionally serious issues this report raises."

The Ministry of Justice said the Quilliam Foundation did not contact the department and did not apply to visit any jails or speak to prison staff.

A spokeswoman said: "We are extremely skilled in managing all challenging and dangerous criminals, and adapting to evolving risks and dangers.

"We run a dedicated, expert unit which leads work to tackle the risk of extremism and radicalisation in prison.

"All our high-security prisons operate enhanced monitoring and intelligence-gathering on those convicted or suspected of involvement in terrorism or extremism."

English Def. League: Sharia Will be Met With Fierce Resistance!~Video

British blood is starting to reach boiling point, against the Sharia push in the UK. The EDL, states that they will not submit to Islam and they finally ask the common sense question. What race is Islam? Go mates!

Islam4UK: Our Religious Police Will Save UK

On October 31st, Islam4UK will be holding their first annual March4 Sharia Day. Part of their plan after Sharia is implemented there, is to close down all the brothels and nightclubs. Personally I am not for the brothels myself, and would never visit one. But I do not believe that public lashings are the appropriate response either. As for the nightclubs it is absolutely insane to want to close them down. If people want to go out and unwind that is their business and after working a full week, I do not blame them. Anyone who thinks that the religious police will stop here, is only kidding themselves. The sooner that the UK authorities start kicking down doors and closing every last Sharia Court there, the better.

Brothels & Nightclubs

With the introduction of Shari'ah law in Britain, an Islamic police network will immediately be assigned to deal with any disorderly or unwarranted behaviour. It is this very network that we envisage will deal with the exploitation of women in the Adult Industry. Appropriately equipped, the Islamic police will categorically arrest all individuals associated with the maintenance or procurement of this lewd industry; Islamic policewomen would furthermore assess the reality of all female ‘employees' and take into consideration any who may have been duped into the illegal service or forced for whatever reason.

Once all brothels and nightclubs are vacated, the entire area immediately surrounding the building will be cordoned off and treated as a crime scene. Evidence will be extracted and all members involved questioned extensively by investigators. If found guilty, punishments could extend from fines to public lashing, any individual in custody who is found not guilty will immediately be freed and duly compensated for his incarceration.

Imam of North London Central Mosque: Koran is for all Time

As I been saying over and over to Muslim con men and the Islamic apologists, the Koran is for all time, and that is a major problem for Western civilization. As the Islamic way of life and the way of life of Western civilization are polar opposites.

Here is a Q & A from ReadingIslam.com.

Question and Answer Details
Name of Questioner Krista - India

Title Does the Quran Include Everything?
Date 20/Oct/2009

Question I am Hindu; and I am reading about Islam. I have a question for you. It might seem simple for you. Does the Quran include everything?

Topic Qur'an & Scriptures, New to Islam, Islamic Creed

Name of Counselor Imam Ahmad Saad



Thank you very much for your question, which is meaningful and important, although it looks simple.

Muslims believe that the noble Quran is the final word of God revealed to humankind to guide its ways, and show people how to get close to their Creator by fulfilling what He has ordained on them, and how to fulfill their mission on earth by taking care of their responsibilities towards others.

It is the beacon to guide humanity to the path of its Creator, and show them the way to save themselves in the turmoil of this life, and enjoy the pleasure of Allah in this life as well as in the hereafter.

According to Islam, one of the unique characteristics of the Quran is that it is the book of all times and space. This means that the rulings and the teachings of the Quran are not restricted by time and space. They are universal and trans-time. They can be applied today as they were applied 1400 years ago, and can still be applied till the end of time.

Regardless of the change of our methods, knowledge, and approaches, this does not affect the validity of the teachings of the Quran. The Quran speaks of itself; and we are told that it is also a comprehensive book. Allah the Almighty says in the Quran what means:

[We have not neglected anything in the Book.] (Al-An`am 6:38)

The comprehensiveness of the Quran is necessary to enable people to function in their lives according to its guidance, and apply its teachings in their lives. The Quran tells us that it was revealed to be followed and applied with the intention of achieving guidance and leading a proper, God-pleasing life. In order for this purpose to be fulfilled, the Quran has to be comprehensive and all-embracing.

To the Muslim con men and their leftist supports who stop by, you might want to check this Imam's credentials before you waste your breath here.

UK: Welsh, “We Are Happy Living With Muslims”

Even though UK Muslims are hellbent on subjugating the UK under Sharia Law, hundreds of Welsh have taken it to the streets in support of Islam.

Judging by the quotes below, they have no idea what Islam really is. No surprise though, coming from the left.

Plaid Cymru (Party of Wales)

To build a national community based on equal citizenship, respect for different traditions and cultures.....

“We Are Happy Living With Muslims”

CAIRO – Hundreds of Welsh in the coastal city of Swansea are standing side by side with their Muslim neighbours and friends against attempts by far-rightists to paint them as the enemy within.

“We are happy to live together with the Muslim community,” Leanne Woods, National Assembly member for Plaid Cymru (Party of Wales), told the Wales Online on Sunday, October 18.

“We are not prepared to accept divisive and hate-based politics on our streets.”

Hundreds of Swansea residents gathered around Castle Square on Saturday, October 17, to counter an anti-Muslim march by the Welch Defence League (WDL).

“This is the first time they have come to Wales and a lot of people from different organisations have come out to say far-right extremism isn’t acceptable on the streets of Swansea,” asserted Woods.

The WDL had called the march to protest what they called the influence of “extreme Islam” in Wales.

Its supporters chanted anti-Muslim slogans with participants making Nazi salutes, with one of them arrested for a racially-aggravated public order offence.

“My first reaction to the WDL is who are they defending us against?” wonder Keith Ross, one of the organizers of the counter demo.

“I don’t need to be defended against Muslims.”

Wales is a country that is part of the United Kingdom with a population estimated at three million.

Islam is the largest non-Christian religion in Wales, with over 30,000 reported Muslims in the 2001 census.

Intolerance

Many Swansea residents accused the WDL of fuelling hatred and intolerance in their community.

"It is worrying, the intolerance," said Darren Cadwallader, a resident.

"One of the things I love about St Helen's Road is the diversity."

Ross, the organizer, agrees.

“I’m sad that the WDL has made a public call for no more mosques, which is a breach of human rights,” he asserted.

This Ross guy has no clue as to what rights will be lost under Islamic rule.

British Blood Starting to Boil! Part II

Yesterday Sharia loving UK Muslim Anjem Choudary released a video statement stating that the non-Muslims of the UK should convert to Islam or accept Sharia Law.

Today I am posting some new comments that I came across on Right Side News, that show us that the true Brits still have a fighting chance.


To read "British Blood Starting to Boil!" part I go HERE.

written by True Englishman, October 16, 2009
If these examples of the exteremist side of the muslim religion really want to live under their sharia law, why on earth are they here in the first place, in this christian country? Oh! of course , they want to scrounge of the very system they say is evil. Why don't they all just go back to where they came from, or in the case of those that are born here, and preach this race hate! move to the very society they want. They will never ever dominate this land, they are all just biting the hand that feeds them, and the society that shows them true hospitality and tolerance. I will never understan how and why these days " those that object to these rants from extreme racists are treated like criminals, and the scum that preaches race hate is allowed to carry on" I wish the authorities would show some true grit and start to defend this country and its people against this insidious sobversive evil behaviour from real racists who oreten to represent Islam! God Bless this country, The Queen and all those prepared to stand up and be counted.

UK Muslims:Accept Islam or Sharia, or......Video

Leading UK Muslim Anjem Choudary who had recently stated that Islam is at war with the UK, has now invited the non-Muslims of the UK to Islam. If they do not want to accept Islam, Sharia Law is the next offer. If these offers are rejected by the non-Muslims there, then under Islam Muslims have the right to wage a holy war.

Chapter 1: REGARDING PERMISSION TO MAKE A RAID, WITHOUT AN ULTIMATUM, UPON THE DISBELIEVERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN INVITED TO ACCEPT ISLAM

Book 019, Number 4292:
Ibn 'Aun reported: I wrote to Nafi' inquiring from him whether it was necessary to extend (to the disbelievers) an invitation to accept (Islam) before meeting them in fight. He wrote (in reply) to me that it was necessary in the early days of Islam. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made a raid upon Banu Mustaliq while they were unaware and their cattle were having a drink at the water. He killed those who fought and imprisoned others. On that very day, he captured Juwairiya bint al-Harith. Nafi' said that this tradition was related to him by Abdullah b. Umar who (himself) was among the raiding troops.

Hey Choudary, I cannot wait until the true Brits tell you to shove your Sharia up your arse!

UK:Wilders, I Have a Problem With Islam

Dutch politician Geert Wilders who recently had his UK ban overturned, has told it like is at his UK press conference. In the past Mr. Wilders had also stated that he wants to end Muslim immigration into the Netherlands. This man might just be the saviour of Europe.

Protesters meet Dutch far-right MP
Tension was high as angry protests greeted a visit to the UK by a Dutch far-right MP.

Around 40 Muslim demonstrators gathered near the Houses of Parliament as Geert Wilders arrived in central London.

Brandishing banners saying "Shariah is the solution, freedom go to hell" and "Geert Wilders deserves Islamic punishment", the protesters were held back by police.

Mr Wilders' press conference was moved inside the Abbey Gardens building opposite the Houses of Parliament.

Abu Muaz, from Islam For UK, said: "If I were to say some of the things he has said I would be arrested under the Terrorism Act. But because there is a war on Muslims he gets an easy ride."

Addressing journalists alongside UKIP peer Lord Pearson, Mr Wilders said his visit was "a victory".

Explaining his controversial views on Islam, he said: "I have a problem with the Islamic ideology, the Islamic culture, because I feel that the more Islam that we get in our societies the less freedom that we get."

They are all absolute idiots, how can they expect a country thats bailed them out of everything we have to then change our laws to the exact same as theres? if we did that they may had well stayed where they were and suffered as they should, i agree if they want the law they should be sent back to the countries that uphold it and should stop trying to push their 'ideal world' ways upon us. They are nothing but surreal actavists that not only create the racial tension they are trying oh so hard to stop but are now beginning to turn non-racist people into ticking time bombs (no pun intended) of hate. I personally think that this radical plan of action they are uptaking is nothing but pity for themselves, as they cannot now live how their gods intended. If this march does go ahead, nothing will come of it, so A) its a waste of time and B) Its more government spending on police officers to monitor the scene. Also we all know if they dont get there own way they will start violence and disruptive behaviour. I for one will NOT be siding with these idiots and i believe as a nation we should rise together, if they want a protest lets protest that all the people taking part are shipped off to what ever god-forsaken country they came from.

UK MUSLIMS DEMAND: GIVE US FULL SHARIA LAW

Well, this is no surprise to anyone who can see past the day that they are in. When the first Sharia Court was announced in the UK , I knew that Pandora's Box had been opened.

That Muslims in the UK would never stop pushing until they get full Sharia Law. Of course I got bashed across the Internet though, by people saying that it is no big deal. Because Jews have religious courts there as well. The big deal is that Jews are not on a worldwide jihad trying to subjugate the planet under a set of barbaric religious laws. Now look were the UK is....

NOW MUSLIMS DEMAND: GIVE US FULL SHARIA LAW
Thursday October 15,2009
By Martyn Brown

A RADICAL Muslim group sparked outrage last night as it launched a massive campaign to impose sharia law on Britain.

The fanatical group Islam4UK has ?announced plans to hold a potentially ?incendiary rally in London later this month.

And it is calling for a complete upheaval of the British legal system, its officials and legislation.

Members have urged Muslims from all over Britain to converge on the capital on October 31 for a procession to demand the full implementation of sharia law.

On a website to promote their cause they deride British institutions, showing a mock-up picture of Nelson’s Column surmounted by a minaret.

Plans for the demonstration have been delivered to the Metropolitan Police and could see up to 5,000 extremists marching to demand the controversial system.

The procession – dubbed March 4 Shari’ah – will start at the House of Commons, which the group’s website describes as the “very place where the lives of millions of people in the UK are changed and it is from here where unjust wars are launched”.

The group then intends to march to 10 Downing Street and “call for the removal of the tyrant Gordon Brown from power”.

The march will then converge on Trafalgar Square where protesters expect it “will gather even more support from tourists and members of the public, making clear in the heart of London the need for Shari’ah in society”.

The group declared: “We hereby request all Muslims in the United Kingdom, in Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Glasgow and all other places to join us and collectively declare that as submitters to Almighty Allah, we have had enough of democracy and man-made law and the depravity of the British culture.

“On this day we will call for a complete upheaval of the British ruling system its members and legislature, and demand the full implementation of Shari’ah in Britain.”

London – Police arrested 48 people Saturday night in Manchester during a rally by an English nationalist group and counter demonstrations.

Authorities estimated about 700 supporters of the English Defence League protested what they called radical Islam and Islamic law. Some participants were described as making Nazi salutes.

Some 1,400 counter demonstrators marched in protest of the rally, accusing the English Defence League of bigotry and fascism.

Saturday’s confrontation was the latest rally by the group that has sparked clashes in the last several weeks. (dpa)

30 Arrests at Anti-Islam Protest in UK

Today was the day of the English Defence League's anti-Islam demonstration, taking place in Manchester.

Here is the first update, as they come in I will post them.

30 arrests at anti-Islam protest in Birmingham

MANCHESTER, England — At least 30 people were arrested when a group demonstrating against Islamic fundamentalism clashed with anti-racism protesters in Britain on Saturday, police said.

Trouble flared as supporters of the English Defence League (EDL) and hundreds of activists from the Unite Against Facism movement faced off in Manchester, northwest England.

Several hundred police in riot gear separated the EDL protesters, who waved placards saying "No More Mosques in England", from the rival demonstration across a square in the city.

Police said a total of around 2,000 people took part.

A police spokesman said most of the arrests were for public order offences, but no one was injured.

It was the latest protest mounted by the EDL, after a similar demonstration in England's second city, Birmingham, last month and a protest by an affiliated group in London on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

Its supporters were planning to hold a two-minute silence for British soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan before singing the national anthem.

The group denies it is racist, insisting in a statement on its website that it is a "multi-ethnic, multi-faith organisation".

UK:Leftists and Muslims to Link Arms Against Those That Want to Save UK!

While the English Defense League wants to protect Britishness, the left has vowed to "link arms with the Muslims". Muslims are following their religion in their attempt to takeover the UK. What is the excuse of the left for wanting to destroy their own homeland? Pathetic.

UAF Supporters to Mock Dead Soldiers
Submitted by Editor on Tuesday, 6 October 2009

On Saturday the English Defence League (EDL) will meet in Manchester to demonstrate against the Islamification of the UK and extremist clerics. Although this is a stance shared across several political parties and groups, the EDL has no links with the BNP.

Pro-Islamisation UAF supporters are planning to confront the group in Piccadilly Square. They say that they ‘need to stand up and link arms with the Muslims against the EDL’. The same tactics which brought violence to the streets of London last month.

In an outburst which is a new sickening low even for this degenerate violent gang of communists the UAF supporters are planning to blow whistles during a 2 minute silence held by the EDL for the British soldiers killed in recent conflicts.

“(The) Neo-Nazis will be having a 2 minutes silence time to blow whistles and horns“, said Tommy, regular contributor to the UAF blog aptly known as ‘Scumcaster Unity’.

Anyone who doubts that UAF supporters hope to replicate the scenes of violence in Harrow should read their comments: “Just like in Harrow they must be forced to retreat, we had a very strong antifascist fighting force of about 1000“, said Jamie the ‘Anti-Fascist’.

Note the language used: ‘Fighting force’ & ‘retreat’. Very militant for a group that claims that it does not engage in forming fascist street armies. We can only hope that the police will detain these hate-mongers.

This isn’t the first time that UAF supporters have revealed where their loyalties lie. Several supporters are on record stating that British soldiers ‘got what they deserved’ when they return from a tour of duty in a flag draped coffin.

How Britain is Creating a Terror State Within, by Melanie Phillips -Part II~Video

Here is part II from British Author Melanie Phillips. This is a continuation of her speech in which she talks about the UK government working hand in hand with the Saudis, and allowing the Muslim Brotherhood advance the political aspect of Islam across Britain. This is being done to give Muslims an alternative to Al Qaeda. This plan is nothing more than a slow suicide.

Islamic Civil War~What's Coming our way

This is an article written by Dr. Terry Jones, the Senior Pastor at Dove World Outreach Center. He speaks to us about Islam in Europe, and America. We've been warned.

Hi,

This is Dr. Terry Jones.

I would like to share a prophetic vision that I saw concerning our present world situation.

We have the rise of a very evil, religious and political force, called Islam. We particularly see that rise in Europe where Islam is slowly taking over. This is even recognized by most European governments. What I saw took place in the United Kingdom, where right now, the rise of radical Islam seems to be worsening everyday.

What I saw there was a civil war between the English people, and between the radical factions of Islam. This turned out to be a very, very bloody battle, of course caused by compromise in the political system, and caused by compromise in the church. We have gotten into a very deceptive realm in the church, I believe worldwide, where all we do mainly is call for prayer.

We do not call for accountability. I believe this was a vision and a warning. It is perhaps too late for Great Britain because of the apathy, because of the rise of Islam in that country, but it is not too late for us here in the United States.

We must unite! If we do not unite as Christians, then we will sooner or later be facing another very bloody civil war ourselves. So I call for us to unite, and not only call sessions of prayer. What we must do, we must march, and we must be active.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Terry Jones – Senior Pastor

UK:Home Office Staff Told not to eat Near Muslims for Ramadan

In a continuing attempt from Muslims and their leftist partners to destroy the UK, Home Office employees were told not to be seen eating near their Muslim co-workers for the entire month of Ramadan.

Don't eat near Ramadan fasters, Home Office staff told
By JASON LEWIS

Home Office staff were officially warned not to eat in front of their fasting Muslim colleagues during Ramadan – in case it made them feel hungry.

The advice came in a taxpayer-funded internal document listing do’s and don’ts during the Muslim holy month, which ends this weekend.

But the guide is now at the centre of a row with Islamic groups who said it was more likely to incite hatred of Muslims than promote understanding.

The Home Office Islamic Network produced the five-page information sheet which says: ‘In practical terms, please be sensitive when eating lunch near a Muslim colleague who is fasting.

This can make an individual feel hungrier and make it more challenging to observe the fast.’

During the holy month devout Muslims do not drink or eat from dawn until sunset and, according to the document, must avoid ‘all obscene and irreligious sights and sounds’.

It also urged Home Office managers to be flexible over working arrangements.

It says: ‘The most likely need Muslim staff may present to managers during this period is for flexibility around working hours and break times as those fasting will have a slightly different routine from usual. Managers and Muslim staff should discuss what their needs are and be responsive and sensitive.’

Managers were also told: ‘Muslim staff who are fasting and whose environment allows it may wish to set out for work earlier than usual and finish their working day correspondingly early...in line with flexi-time arrangements.’

Last night a Home Office spokeswoman confirmed the document had been distributed to its staff and posted on the department’s internal intranet system.

She said: ‘It is not formal departmental guidance and was written by volunteers.’
The spokeswoman added that the Islamic Network was one of a number of staff faith and equality groups within the Home Office and was paid for by the taxpayer.

UK Nurse to Lose Job for Wearing Cross

The assault on Christianity in the UK continues, but at the same time Islam continues to grow stronger. The UK is quickly heading towards disaster and they need to put on the breaks before it is too late. At the end of the article, I have posted some interesting comments about this that were left on an Islamic site.

UK Nurse to Lose Job for Wearing Cross

CAIRO — A devout Christian nurse is being ordered to remove a cross or face suspension, The Sun reported Monday, September 21.

“Being told to take it off has completely and utterly shaken me,” Shirley Chaplin said.

"I don't want to have to decide between my faith and my job.”

The 54-year-old nurse, from the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Trust, was asked to stop wearing a silver Cross openly or face suspension.

She was also taken off duty over her Cross and was offered to switch to an administrative role.

Hospital officials argue wearing the Cross violates the uniform policy and poses danger to patients.

“I've worn it for years and now, at the end of my career, I'm told to take it off,” said Shirley, who has worn her Cross for the 38 years.

"For about 30 years I have worked in the NHS and nursed patients day and night and on no occasion has my cross caused me or anyone else, any injury - and to my knowledge, no patient has ever complained about me wearing it.

"The trust even refused to test the 'breaking strain' on the necklace.

"I can't explain how important the cross is to me. My Christian faith is what motivates me to care for others.”

Such a big deal

By SwordOfTruth on 2009-09-21 16:09 (GMT)


Why is the nurse being so stupid and making such a big deal out of it, and losing her job. The cross as every single denomination in christendom would say is not an article of faith, and a christian does not have to wear. Whilst a turban, a hijab, a skullcap, are all articles of faith for these religious communties.

Honestly who cares?

By Mohammed on 2009-09-21 15:43 (GMT)


Really who cares? There is a huge difference between the hijab and the crucifix. Hijab is obligatory and not simply a display of somebody's faith, while the crucifix is. It's a symbol of a false and way distorted religion loaded with contradictions! Centuries after the disappearance of the prophet Jesus (peace and blessing be upon) and out of the blue they decided to make him divine in a meeting. A gross distortion of his message, and a huge transgression on him.

UK:Two Christians Arrested for "Offending" a Muslim!

Once again we see just how backwards things in the UK are. Last week the Manchester Council was calling for an upcoming anti-Islam protest to be canceled. Now two Christians have been arrested for discussing Islam with a Muslim. Apparently non-Muslims there now have restrictions on their free speech, while Muslims can openly call for holy war.

Christian hotel owners hauled before court after defending their beliefs in discussion with Muslim guest
By JONATHAN PETRE
20th September 2009

A Christian couple have been charged with a criminal offence after taking part in what they regarded as a reasonable discussion about religion with guests at their hotel.

Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang were arrested after a Muslim woman complained to police that she had been offended by their comments.

They have been charged under public order laws with using ‘threatening, abusive or insulting words’ that were ‘religiously aggravated’.

The couple, whose trial has been set for December, face a fine of up to £5,000 and a criminal record if they are convicted.

Although the facts are disputed, it is thought that during the conversation the couple were challenged over their Christian beliefs.

It is understood that they suggested that Mohammed, the founder of Islam, was a warlord and that traditional Muslim dress for women was a form of bondage.

They deny, however, that their comments were threatening and argue that they had every right to defend and explain their beliefs.

Mrs Vogelenzang, 54, who has run the Bounty House Hotel near Aintree racecourse in Liverpool with her husband Ben, 53, for six years, said: ‘Nothing like this has happened to us before. We are completely shocked.’

She added that the episode had damaged their business and they had been forced to lay off staff and run the nine-bedroom hotel by themselves, leaving them exhausted.

Sources said that a number of guests staying at the hotel, which charges £92 a night for a double room, were having breakfast in its restaurant on March 20 when comments were made about religion.

One of those involved was the Muslim woman, who was staying at the hotel while she received treatment at a hospital nearby.

The couple, who are members of the Bootle Christian Fellowship, and their solicitor, David Whiting, said they could not discuss the content of the conversation for legal reasons. But the independent lobby group, the Christian Institute, which has seen both the prosecution and defence legal papers, is supporting their defence.

Mr Whiting, who last year successfully defended street preacher Anthony Rollins in Birmingham, said: ‘There is a dispute as to the facts of the allegations, but Ben and Sharon do not accept they were threatening, abusive or insulting.

‘They are committed Christians and it is the defence’s contention that they have every right to defend their religious beliefs and explain those beliefs to others who do not hold similar views.’

After the incident, the couple voluntarily attended St Anne’s Street police station in Liverpool, where they were interviewed under caution.

In July they were arrested and charged under Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986 and Section 31 (1) (c) and (5) of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.
