The police have issued a warning that there is a plan in place for anyone destroying religious texts at the park. They will be arrested for public order offences and charged. The defence of freedom of expression is no longer a defence because of the rhetoric it has caused. A custodial sentence could result. James (in the photo) told me he is seriously considering ripping up a Qur’an at Speakers’ Corner tomorrow. I advised him in very strong terms how unwise this would be. James appeared indifferent to my pleas. The consequences of such an action at the park are obvious to all..

A non-Muslim friend commented:
‘A stupid idea. Needlessly provocative and will incite a small riot. Criticising religious texts is fine if done calmly. Destroying them is flagrantly aggressive … I better be there to help caution common sense’
Clearly he is an Islam hater. Most of his speech and debate in Speaker Corner are spreading hate to Islam. May Allah guide him.
I don’t mean to be rude or insulting to James, but clearly he has a mental problem.
Yup!
According to James he has only read up to chapter 3 of the Qur’an before giving up.
This is what children do when they get annoyed: throw a tantrum and break stuff.
I wouldn’t bet on James lasting long at speakers corner pulling stunts like this, if history has anything to say about it, cf Tan.
“They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.” Qur’an 61:8
NEWS: A credible death threat has been made against Speakers’ Corner James who wants to destroy a Qur’an tomorrow.
The police are aware..
Let Peace prevail
Muslims should relish a Koran burning. It is a great opportunity for Allah to display his greatness and power by some kind of spectacular judgement. That fact that they are against it only proves that they don’t believe in their god Allah and they are afraid to put him to the test.
It just another proof for the infidels that Allah does not exist.
[8.32] And when they said: O Allah! if this is the truth from Thee, then rain upon us stones from heaven or inflict on us a painful punishment.
[8.33] But Allah was not going to chastise them while you were among them, nor is Allah going to chastise them while yet they ask for forgiveness.
Don’t hold your breath.
He had a plan in his mind. He would do a provocative action against Islam to prove his opinion that Islam is violent. Let police take care of him.
Or maybe the plan was to offer Muslims a chance to show Islam is peaceful by not rising to the bait.
Far fetched.
@ Andy
Never claimed to be peaceful were not monks. Deserves to get the taste slapped out his mouth.
[8.33] But Allah was not going to chastise them while you were among them, nor is Allah going to chastise them while yet they ask for forgiveness.
Allah’s excuses don’t apply any more so what is holding him back? Is he shy or something?
Hey Iggy, Allah (swt) will do what He wills when He wills. He doesn’t change His mind or have “regrets” like your silly god. Go back to kindergarten.
@ QB
Oh, fantastic lol they’re actually asking for the punishment like the kuffar of old 😂😂😂
@ Watson
They challenge you to hurry up the punishment, and they would’ve received a punishment if God hadn’t already set a time for it. It will come to them suddenly and catch them when they’re not ready. (29:53)
Tell them: “Maybe what you want to hurry up is right behind you…” (27:72)
Holmes, considering that infidels of your demographic kind are more likely to be furry, non-binary, use pets as substitutes for children, abuse opioids and all other sorts of nonsense, what makes you think God’s judgement isn’t upon you?
Speakers’ Corner latest:
Anti-Islam polemicist James, who threatened to destroy a Qur’an, did not turn up at the park this evening. Probably wise in light of the death threat made against him.
After reading the article and the comments, it only proves how intolerant and violent Sunni 1slam is.
This is exactly the point James was trying to prove and he has suceded in proving. Hats off to James for proving the point. Also todays terrorist by sunni muslims prove 1slam is a death cult.
Intolerance of the Tolerant is cowardice – Aayan Hirsi Ali
Ripping up a Qur’an in public to cause offence and hurt is a massive display of intolerance.
You would have to be literally barking mad to think otherwise, as you and James do.
Random idiot: After reading the article and the comments, it only proves how intolerant and violent Sunni 1slam is.
So what are you going to do about?
@ Kmak
Nothing. He’s talking out of his butt and trying to sound smart.
James has been vindicated with todays terrorist attack by sunni muslim Sudesh Amman.
Hats off to James for proving that 1slam is a death cult that too without ripping a qran.
“Hats off to James for proving that 1slam is a death cult that …”
O shut up you moron. He didn’t prove anything except him being an idiot like you. Now get lost loser.
“Sunan Abi Dawd 12:76”
O no!!! It’s a hadith about the marriage of Aisha. O dear o dear!!! We’ve never encountered that before. People used to marry much younger than today. People also used to have brains more often than today since morons like you exist.
James just proved himself an Islam hater like you and the other haters, that’s it, nothing else.
