Muslim woman enters church and threatens pastor: 'I am here to kill the God of the Jews'
On September 1, a Muslim woman entered the evangelical Angel Church in Islington, London, screaming 'Allahu Akbar' and that she was 'here to kill the God of the Jews’. She became more aggressive after she was asked to leave the building.
Inside the church, Pastor Regan King, his Jewish wife and young children were preparing for Sunday morning services when a woman entered the church shouting Islamic calls to prayer in Arabic and addressing the children directly.
Pastor King asked her to leave, but instead, her aggression escalated. After the police were called, the woman began shouting anti-Semitic abuse and, according to Pastor King, screamed: "I'm here to kill the God of the Jews". She then repeatedly shouted "Allahu akbar" over the church's public address system.
Police arrived 10 minutes later and arrested her for a racially and religiously aggravated public order offence. She attempted to speak to one of the police officers, whom she believed to be Muslim, and said in Arabic, "Brother, remember Allah". She was then arrested on suspicion of assaulting the emergency services, after allegedly kicking, punching and shoving the officers.
The incident has devastated Pastor Regan's family and congregation: “My family and I are deeply concerned and shaken by this incident, especially my wife who is Jewish. She is traumatised and now fears going outside. Since October 7 especially, as a family and church, we have experienced multiple incidents of antisemitism and anti-Christianity."
Instead of supporting Pastor King, Muslims in the community accused him of lying and 'inciting hatred' for saying what happened in the church, and a community Facebook group suspended him. However, local media refused to label the attack as Islam-related or Islam-motivated. Andrea Williams, executive director of Christian Concern and the Christian Legal Centre, said: “More must be done to protect synagogues and churches across the UK from emboldened radical Islam.”
