A British man who was attacked after converting to Christianity from Islam was told by police to "move to another place", it has emerged. Nissar Hussein, 43, from Bradford, West Yorkshire converted from Islam to Christianity with his wife, Qubra, in 1996.
A report by Christian Solidarity Worldwide, quoted in the Times, says he was subjected to a number of attacks and, after being told that his house would be burnt down if he did not return to Islam, alerted the police. However, the report says Mr Hussein was told that such threats were rarely carried out and that he should “stop being a crusader and move to another place”.
A few days later an unoccupied property next door to Mr Hussein's house was set on fire.
The report, titled No Place to Call Home, claims that apostates from Islam are subject to “gross and wide-ranging human rights abuses”. “When identities are precarious, their enforcement will take an aggressive form.”
| Hate to say it, but the coppers have a practical sense of what to do. He should move, but don't tell anyone he's moved. Then let the cops stake out the former residence and nab the arsonist when he comes. And he'll come. |
