Preacher attacked in faith-hate-crime

As long as religion feels it's okay to spout hate speech from the pulpits I think we will see much more of this in the future.

Hawksmoor's St George's-in-the-East

A priest has been attacked in the grounds of his church, in what police described as a "faith-hate" crime.

Canon Michael Ainsworth, 57, was injured by two Asian youths at the church, in Tower Hamlets, east London.

Canon Ainsworth said a third youth watched as he suffered cuts, bruises and black eyes in the assault at the church of St George-in-the-East.

The youths also jeered at the priest for being a churchman in the attack on Wednesday night, the Met Police said.

Evidently it doesn't feel that great when the shoe is on the other foot!
