These are the insane realities a British-Pakistani man faced for converting from Islam to Christianity in the UK: Nissar Hussain and his family were excommunicated and branded "kafir," "infidel," "unbeliever," and "Jew dogs." Men confronted him in the street, spat on him, and cursed him—in front of his young... children. One night he woke up at 3am to see "seven foot flames shooting up" from his car. His car was rammed and vandalized so often that insurance companies wrote him off as a walking liability and refused to insure him. It was as if "all hell broke loose…I was dead and buried," he told me at the recent IRF Summit. Young men hurled bricks and other missiles at his house at night repeatedly. In 2015, he was ambushed outside his home, suffering a fractured kneecap and a broken hand. He was hospitalized for 11 days and developed PTSD. It was "acts of terrorism on a daily basis," he says. After years of threats and attacks, he and his family were relocated with a large armed police escort. He has been living in hiding under police protection for almost a decade. Authorities, he says, have been paralyzed by fear. "The police, they are terrified of Muslim backlash or some kind of Islamic riot, because they are terrified of being labeled as Islamophobic," he says. Now he worries that similar trends are emerging on this side of the Atlantic. "America, wake up—and don't end up like England," he says. "Never, ever allow Sharia to enter mainstream politics like it has in the UK."show more
