It is well known that those who convert from Islam are deemed to have committed apostasy which, according to sharia law, deserves the death penalty. Hatun collapsed with blood down her face and is seen wearing a Charlie Hebdo t-shirt. Following the attack, the man immediately fled the scene and discarded the knife. Only moments earlier, Hatun, who is being supported by the Christian Legal Centre, had been quietly speaking to another member of the public and was not preaching. She was treated by the London Ambulance Service and was then taken to a central London hospital where her wounds were stitched. Despite a police car appearing immediately, police failed to catch and detain the attacker and have now appealed to the public for further evidence. Counter-terrorism are now also investigating. I am asking myself if I have done anything wrong? I am convinced I have not broken any law or incited hate.

Video shared on social media appears to show someone dressed in black approaching a woman wearing a Charlie Hebdo T-shirt on Sunday. The woman is later shown with what appears to be blood on her face as police officers help her. Police say her injuries are not considered life-threatening. In recent years, topics such as Islamic fundamentalism have often featured in the debate. Islamic extremists attacked the offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in January , killing 12 people.

Hate crimes operate as a contemporary, de facto blasphemy law. H yde Park has long been associated with political rebellion. The Grade-I listed park in central London has been the gathering point for some of the biggest demonstrations in British history.

A graphic video making rounds on social media shows a man, reportedly dressed in a black robe with a hood, punching and stabbing a woman on Sunday afternoon, then being chased away by police. He somehow evaded the authorities and disappeared, leaving the knife behind. The papers revealed no identifying information about the attacker and dutifully quoted the Metropolitan Police urging Londoners to come forth with evidence. The implication is clear: the woman wore a provocative shirt that offended Muslims somehow, and therefore had the stabbing coming. The story only gets more troubling when some of the missing details are filled in.

My attacker was not even afraid of the police because he did it in front of them. Living in a community where the police do not want to arrest a Muslim for fear of being called an Islamist hater is heartbreaking. It was at this point, on July 25, that Hadun Dash was attacked with knives while a caricature of Charlie Hebdo was featured on his T-shirt. She suffers from injuries to her face and hands. Surprisingly, her injuries were not life-threatening. If you are of the prayer type, I ask you to pray for this brave soldier in Christ.
