"Asian men" attack Christian minister in London after "heated arguments" with Muslims during his Gospel TV show. Any connection?

The Daily Mail reports about an attack by "three Asian men" on a Christian minister. Reverend Noble Samuel hosts a Christian TV show in London. He was born in Pakistan and educated by Christian missionaries. He moved to London 15 years ago.

Rev. Samuel says, "My show is not confrontational," but he has had heated arguments with Muslims during his shows, presumably from callers. As with any TV program, no one is required to watch or agree with the presentations made on the programs. Muslim viewers need not watch Rev. Samuel's program and need not call him to attack his ideas.

Three "Asian men" physically attacked Rev. Samuel. They hit him in his car and tried to smash his face into the steering wheel. One of the men grabbed his cross and took it off his neck. The other two men took his Bible and laptop. The men warned that "if you go back to the studio, we'll break your legs."

This clearly suggests that the crime was not simply a theft or ordinary assault case. The men knew that Rev. Samuel had a show on TV and showed an interest in the Christian cross and Bible. In spite of the threat, Rev. Samuel went on the air with his regularly scheduled show. "During the show the Muslim station owner Tahir Ali came on air to condemn the attack."

Obviously, not all Muslims either participate in or condone violence against Christians or Jews. However, such violence clearly is increasing throughout the world. Rather than taking action to put their own house in order, too many Muslims quickly shout "Islamophobe" at anyone who points to the hate preached in the name of Islam.

Once again the need to "COEXIST," as the bumper sticker simplistically calls for, fails because of the violence of Muslims against a Christian. There seems to be a pattern here. Certainly, everyone would find a pattern if Christians were attacking Muslims as Christian ministers preached God's hatred of all non-Christian faiths.

The politically correct in the West want everyone to ignore the 800 pound gorilla in the room - Muslim mullahs preach the superiority of Islam and Allah's hatred for Christians and Jews, citing passage after dreary passage in the Qur'an and the Islamic traditions in support. Whether they are correct in their interpretation of Islam or not, they seem to influence the actions of many of their followers to engage in violence in the name of Islam and Allah.

Coexist bumper sticker - Who isn't "coexisting"?

I saw one of the "Coexist" bumper stickers on a car this morning, the one with the Star of David, the cross, etc. Maybe I missed it, but I don't remember seeing reports of the Methodists blowing themselves up to kill some Episcopalians, or Buddhists murdering Shintoists.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only one of the religions seems intent on murdering people of other faiths just because they don't worship the "right" way. The need for coexistence indicates mutual antagonism between groups. Only Muslims refuse to accept the existence of other religious traditions and seek to murder others simply on the basis of their faith.

That doesn't suggest a need to "coexist," but that Islam needs to clean up its religion so that its people stop murdering people because of religious differences.
