British police would, of course, never dare to arrest a Muslim preacher, but they do not hesitate not only to arrest a Christian pastor, but to mock his Christian faith. It’s clear who is in control in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain today.
“Christian pastor is arrested for ‘criticising Islam’ while preaching in Watford town centre – as police officer tells him ‘in the name of Jesus, get in the car,'” by Mark Duell, Daily Mail, April 24, 2026:
A Christian pastor was arrested for allegedly criticising Islam while preaching on a high street – before a police officer told him: ‘In the name of Jesus, get in the car.’
Steve Maile, 66, had been speaking to the public in Watford about his thoughts on violence within Islam when discussing whether the faith was a religion of peace.
The Oasis City Church pastor, who is a married father-of-four and grandfather, was also singing Christian hymns and songs in the busy shopping area on Saturday.
Mr Maile, who was preaching and singing for about ten minutes, is also said to have told onlookers that he had compassion and wanted Muslims to become Christians.
But three Hertfordshire Police officers then put him in handcuffs and arrested him on suspicion of assault and racially or religiously aggravated disorderly behaviour.
While being detained, a visibly furious Mr Maile shouted: ‘I am a preacher of the Gospel. Watch this. There is no offence being committed here, none whatsoever.’
As one of the officers repeatedly encouraged Mr Maile to stop talking so they could ‘explain the grounds’ for his arrest, he told them: ‘You repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you’ll be saved. This is an utter disgrace, in this nation.’
Mr Maile was then accused of assaulting a child, to which he replied: ‘I’ve not assaulted anyone, no, no, no. Take these off now, in the name of Jesus. You people should be ashamed of yourselves, arresting a minister of the gospel in Watford.’
A woman filming the arrest also defended him, saying: ‘Which child? I’ve been filming every moment and he has not assaulted a child. This is a grandfather, he is a pastor.’
Boos could be heard as Mr Maile was put into the car, and he shouted: ‘Mums and dads, boys and girls, watch this – this is the police in our country. Get your filthy hand off my head now. Get your hand off my head now. In the name of Jesus.’
A woman officer then shouted at him: ‘In the name of Jesus, get in the car.’ Before closing the car door, Mr Maile also shouted: ‘My wrists have been hurt, will you please take these off? These are hurting me. This is assault.’…
Mr Maile believes this is connected to comments he made which were critical of Islam as well as homosexuality, but maintains these were Bible-based statements….

Dhimmi Britain surges in the European Islamopandering derby.

You’re as stupid as Spencer!
Tony says
British Police are following Islamic Law against British citizens as taught by Allah in Islam’s Qur’an. Allah says to kill the Non-Muslims who oppose, contradict, disbelieve, or deny Allah, his Apostle, and Islam. Allah in Qur’an 5:33 says, “Surely the reward of those who war against Allah and his messenger and go about to vandalize on the earth is only that they will be killed or crucified or have their hands and legs cut off on opposite sides or they will be banished from the earth. This is their disgrace in this world, and in the hereafter they will have a great torment.”

Wait–so you are fine with arresting a man for daring to criticize Islam–and then have the police make fun of his faith? Why even pretend that you still oppose Jihad terror against Britons?
J Allan says
You know, Spencer, you REALLY are a COMPLETE and UTTER ARSEHOLE!
You need to concern yourself with YOUR country.
And let US concern ourselves with OURS!
Billy says
Islam is a totalitarian threat. We see that this is the strong arm of the Law, the British State, against Non-Muslims. Allah’s Muslims desire to make Islam supreme using their man-made book of lies and deceit, the Qur’an. Allah in Qur’an 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah[ie. to make Islam Supreme], so they kill and are killed…”.
Taffy says
We don’t want the Muslim cancer in the U.S. So concerning ourselves with the Muzzie breeding grounds, including jolly ole England, befor the cancer spreads, is our business.
What happened to the England of WWII after Dunkirk?: “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender”
The dirty filthy Muzzies have taken over London and other select spots. After the Muzzies reach 15% of the population, they will soon reach 85%. All I hope is that Britain and France give away their nukes to the US before that.

Robert is reporting events reported in the UK. What could be your objection?
Are you ashamed?
Which country do you claim is “ours”?
Pakistan?

Maybe we should have done that in the 1940s, and just focused on Japan after Pearl Harbor. Granted that 2 days later, Hitler declared war on the US, but we could have focused solely on the Pacific Theater, and left you people to your own devices

Infidel, the idea that Hitler–who admired Islam, and followed the suggestions of the Mufti of Jerusalem to implement fhe genocidal Holocaust–was actually the savior of Europe I think–with all respect–is misguided.
And my mother and aunt joined the British army as young women during WWII and went through the London Blitz–people then were *definitely* willing to defend their nation.
No one can know the future. But I would not consider a Fascist Europe with its entire Jewish population wiped out any sort of ideal.

The UK has no freedom of speech.
Napoleon couldn’t conquer the UK.
Hitler couldn’t conquer the UK.
But the modern Left has conquered the UK.
Robert Breedersen says
But how come all the conservatives I follow on social media and internet are no longer critical of Islam and sharia?
What has changed. It was weird to me, like everyone is praising Islam and sharia now for some reason and they are right wing.
That’s why I came here , am I losing it ?
Beans🫘 says
Robert.
It’s a growing trend. I am seeing the same pattern. The thing is, they focus all the attention upon Israel , the supposed worst moral country in the world. Islam is just a victim. Christians live amazing in Muslim lands like Pakistan Nigeria Syria. Ask Tucker Carlson. It’s actually bad in Israel for Christians and great in Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Also, Tucker says sharia is superior to western law. Go look it up. People bribed him maybe. His job is to change our minds against Israel and for sharia law. And he targets bigger people first like Candace Owens, so she spreads it too.

I don’t think that you are the one losing it, Robert.
somehistory says
There is no longer Justice in the U.K. No longer the freedom to speak….unless the speaker is muzzie or a supporter of muzzies.
The authorities in the U.K. no longer put a value on Truth; only the lies which support the evils being committed against the citizens.
Jesus said that His followers would be hated; and Peter said they would be mocked. These are on full display in the U.K..
James Lincoln says
Truth seekers are no longer welcome in today’s UK, somehistory.
It doesn’t matter if they are visitors – or actual native Brits.
shoshana says
WOW ! Yes they are “on full display” in the UK. Matthew chapter 24 is on the news and Yeshua actually tells us in what generation HE will return.
Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree (ISRAEL); When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves (May 14, 1948), you know that summer is near:
33 So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
The 1948 Generation is 78 years old. How much longer in this time of uncertainty and violence can these elder people survive….15 years maybe ???? YESHUA IS COMING HOME VERY SOON NOW !!!!
Walter Sieruk says
In the United Kingdom the arrest of this Christian pastor for criticizing Islam further re3veals that the Muslim’s stealth jihad has been gaining power in the UK. As banned free speech by making it illegal to criticize Islam reveals the sinister insidious subversive infiltration and influence the Muslims who are also stealth jihadists now have in the British government and legal system.
This also exposes that Islam is such a very fragile and weak religion that it can’t withstand, or hold up to criticism is of kind. Therefore, the stealth jihadist Muslims have influenced the British law system by inserting Islam’s Sharia in the government of the UK to made it illegal to criticize Islam , no matter how mild that criticism might be
Furthermore, this is some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads, “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to oppose you.”
Walter Sieruk says
That it’s now illegal to criticize Islam,, no matter how mild that criticism might be , even called “insulting Islam,’ in the United Kingdom is should be very obvious, to all Christians that this recent law is demonic in essence. The reason why this is so is because it’s now unlawful for Christians of the UK to practice their faith by exposing false doctrines as the Bible instructs them to do , Second Timothy 3:16. Ephesians 4:11.
For ,indeed, Islam is in blatant and terrible Biblical error regarding the nature of Jesus by denying that Jesus is God, and is therefore a false religion.
For Islam is in major a Biblical doctrinal error concerning nature of Jesus and is therefore a false religion.
This subject of great importance is that Jesus is God and therefore Islam is in major Biblical doctrinal error concerning nature of Jesus and is therefore a false religion.
In the Old Testament of Isaiah in 45:22,23.” starting at the second sentence it reads ” I am God and there is no other…That to Me every knee shall bow . Every tongue shall taken an oath. He shall say ‘Surely in the Lord I have righteousness and strength…” [N.K.J.V.]
Moving on to the New Testament and comparing those above Isaiah verse with Philippians 2:10,11 the reader is informed that “That at the name of Jesus every shall bow , of those in heaven and of those on the under the earth and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory God the Father.”
So in those Old Testament reveal that to God “every knee shall bow..” and likewise those New Testament verses reveal that to Jesus “every knee shall bow…” This clearly shows that Jesus is God.
In Psalm 89:8,9. it reads “O Lord of host, Who is mighty like you , O Lord ? … You rule the raging of the sea ; when it’s waves rise you still them.” In Matthew 8:23-27 a terrible sea storm occurred and then rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great clam. So the men marveled, saying ‘Who can this be , that even the winds and the sea obey him. ” By comparing what happened with those verses from that just quoted Psalm, the answer to the question asked by the disciples of Jesus is that He is God.
Furthermore the Bible in First Kings 8:39 teaches that “Only God Knows that thoughts of men” in the Gospel of Mark 2: 8 reveals that Jesus knows the thoughts of men.”
In conclusion the Bible does reveal to that Jesus is God and that exposes Islam’s false teaching about Jesus and therefore Islam is a false religion of demonic darkness.
As Isaiah 8:20 reads ” To the law and to the Testimony ! If they do not speak according to the word, it is because there is no light in them.”
