THOUGHT CRIME: British police investigating a Christian man for his opinions following widely publicized attack on Sydney bishop
A Briton has shared troubling footage of police officers and a mental health nurse showing up at his home after he voiced out the need for Christians to take a stand – amid the recent attack on a Sydney bishop.
The Orthodox Christian named Hooper shared three videos of this incident. In the first clip, a female police officer from Hasting Police in East Sussex tells him "people have raised concerns" about his opinions on the April 15 attack on Assyrian Orthodox Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel. The cleric was attacked by a radical Muslim teen during a church service, but has since recuperated.
"I've got two police officers and a mental health nurse coming to see me because I went to the church and spoke to my local priest about what happened to the bishop in Australia and said, 'Are we Christians supposed to take a stand?'" Hooper said in another clip of the police visit. (Related: Radical Muslim STABS Eastern Christian bishop and 3 others during church service in Australia.)
"I'm not calling for violence or anything like that. This is discrimination against Christians right now, because if I was Islamic, and I said anything along those lines – you wouldn't care. You allow hate preachers in this country to preach the killing of homosexuals, and now you're on my door because I'm calling for Christians to take a stand. I'm not calling for violence, just for Christians to take a stand."
Hooper told law enforcement in an exchange captured in the third clip: "This is why I went to see the priest, because of this. We Christians can't even voice an opinion. You can't even have an opinion now without the police turning up. This is a police state."

Hooper said in an interview with Noticer News he has filed complaints with the police and mental health nurse teams in the area.
Bishop Emmanuel forgives his attacker, discourages violence
The bishop and founder of the Christ the Good Shepherd Church in the Wakeley suburb of Sydney later released an audio message about his condition. He said in the audio clip that he is "doing fine" after surgery and forgave the Muslim teen who attacked him.
"I will always pray for you," Emmanuel said, addressing the assailant. "And whoever sent you to do this, I forgive them as well [in] Jesus' mighty name."
The bishop also dissuaded his community from retaliating, calling them to "act Christ-like." He continued: "The Lord Jesus never taught us to fight, the Lord Jesus never taught us to retaliate."
The videos Hooper shared arrived not long after similar clips from the U.S. started circulating on social media where people indicated they were receiving visits from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation over their critical posts of U.S. President Joe Biden.
At the same time, the U.S. Department of Justice has officially ended an Inspector General review of the same agency absolving them of "malicious intent" for apparently merging Catholics with domestic terrorists.
The growing number of instances of the crushing of religious liberties and other God-given freedoms raised the anger of several people who condemned what they describe as a "police state and woke b******t."
