• Christian leaders warn the new anti-Muslim hostility definition threatens Gospel preaching and free speech rooted in Biblical truth.
• Tim Dieppe argues it breaches equality laws by granting Islam special protections denied to Christianity.
• David Robertson foresees prosecution for sharing Christ’s love under this veiled blasphemy code.

Faith advocates express alarm over the UK government’s new definition of “anti-Muslim hostility,” rebranded from Islamophobia, fearing it stifles criticism of Islam while safeguarding evangelism.

Representatives from various faiths, including Islam, previously urged abandoning the plans to protect free expression aligned with Christian liberty.

“I can see a day coming in the not-too-distant future when … writers like me will be prosecuted under the Islamophobia blasphemy law for spreading hate against Muslims. But preaching Christ and his word is not hatred, nor is it any kind of phobia. It is Christian love,” said evangelical leader David Robertson.

The definition targets intentional criminal acts, prejudicial stereotyping, and discrimination against Muslims, yet critics say its vague wording inhibits vital public discourse on faith and security.

Christian commentator Adrian Hilton notes that warning about Muslim bloc voting or declaring Mohammed a false prophet could be deemed harassment, endangering examination of issues like rape gangs.

Government assurances claim no threat to free speech, but Jonathan Hall KC warns loose language will inhibit discussions on pressing matters.

Conservative MPs Nick Timothy and Claire Coutinho decry it as a betrayal, arguing it hinders scrutiny of grooming gangs, FGM, and terrorism while fostering division over equal justice under God’s law.

Stand firm for Biblical freedoms—share this to defend preaching Christ and patriotically uphold truth against encroaching blasphemy codes.

• House of Lords debates amendments to scrap non-crime hate incidents in Crime and Policing Bill.
• Lord Young’s bold proposal abolishes NCHI recording, deletes historic records, bars them from DBS checks.
• 13,200 NCHIs logged yearly, ensnaring vicars, doctors, even children, chilling Gospel proclamation.

Peers face a pivotal vote to end non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) that threaten free speech rooted in biblical truth.

Critics decry their chilling effect, as unproven complaints stain innocent lives and hinder Christian witness.

Scottish pastor Angus Cameron endured wrongful arrest over a ‘hate-crime’ despite no offense, facing a permanent NCHI log.

He won £5,500 compensation plus £9,400 costs through The Christian Institute’s support.

Government concedes NCHI system ‘not fit for purpose,’ launching review for stronger speech safeguards.

Simon Calvert, Deputy Director at The Christian Institute, urges total abolition.

“It’s shocking to think that for years we’ve had a system where Police have been able to record unproven, politically motivated complaints against Christians and others.”

“These malicious allegations of being ‘hateful’ could seriously impact a person’s career prospects.”

“It’s Orwellian and it’s way past time not only for that system to be abolished but for all of the erroneous information held against innocent people to be deleted.”

“The House of Lords has an opportunity to get rid of non-crime hate incident once and for all and I hope they take it.”

Pray fervently for peers to champion faith, family freedoms—abolish these ungodly records now!
