Kansas: Preach Gospel to Muslims – Get Arrested

by PAUL L. WILLIAMS, PHD September 10, 2010
Mark Holick arrested
Attempt to address Muslims in Kansas and you’ll be hauled off in handcuffs to the local police department.
 
That’s what happened to Pastor Mark Holick of Spirit One Christian Center when he visited the Wichita Islamic Society to speak about the gospel and to distribute religious tracts.
 
Pastor Holick and fourteen other Christians, including two additional senior ministers, did not step foot inside the mosque - - but merely attempted to engage Muslims in dialogue on a public sidewalk as they left the building.
 
When the police arrived on the scene, Mr. Holick was handcuffed and forced into a squad car.
When asked what crime he had committed, the police, according to the pastor, said “loitering” and “failure to disperse.”
 
Mr. Holick told OneNewsNow that it was “very disconcerting to see the gospel squelched — especially on a public sidewalk in a country with a constitutional guarantee of free speech.”
 
The police allege that the pastor and his followers were blocking a driveway.
 
Mr. Holick denies this charge by saying: “Of course we never did do that. There would be no reason for us to block vehicles — and they probably have no idea how much I like all of my organs and bones perfectly in the position they’re in right now.”
 
Previously, Mr. Holick captured headlines by positing this message on the marquee of the Spirit One Christian Center: “America, we have a Muslim president. This is a sin against the Lord.”
 
Last year, the fiery pastor was taken into custody by the Wichita police for communicating his religious views to gays and lesbians at a homosexual festival that was held in a public park.

New York Times finds IRS office an unprepared, understaffed outpost with no direction

May 18, 2013  10:58 PM

We’re starting to expect another presidential press conference Monday morning in which Obama changes his mind about being angry about the IRS targeting conservative groups. Maybe he’ll ask acting commissioner Steven Miller to stay on and give him a bonus. And forget about abolishing the IRS — it just needs more money and attention. The […]

Racist Umbrellagate scandal overshadowed by fake Benghazi, IRS outrage

May 18, 2013  10:04 PM

Yes, it is now racist to talk about President Obama and the umbrella. In fact, let’s just add “umbrella” to the Big Book of Racial Code Words. It was bad enough when rank-and-file right wingers (like Howard Kurtz) noted the unbelievably bad optics of President Obama summoning a pair of Marines to hold umbrellas over […]

#OccupyTheFarm champions food independence, solicits donations of salad, reaps ridicule

May 18, 2013  08:23 PM

Any farmer knows that pulling weeds is just another part of a mostly thankless job, so can you blame Occupy Oakland for losing its patience when conservatives started popping up everywhere in its Twitter timeline? Who, though, could resist pointing out the irony of the people of #OccupyTheFarm asking for donations of fresh greens? Twitter […]

Sail through your next IRS application with these handy #SafeC4Names

May 18, 2013  05:39 PM

The Washington Free Beacon this week shared the story of a conservative nonprofit group that applied for tax-exempt status with the IRS only to wait nearly a year for a response. The group resubmitted its application under a more innocuous name and watched in amazement as its application sailed through the approval process in three […]

Sen. Ted Cruz leads call to abolish IRS in wake of targeting scandal

May 18, 2013  05:03 PM

When President Obama assured the nation he'd make sure nothing like the current IRS scandal would ever happen again, we're pretty sure he didn't have abolishing the IRS in mind.
