Muslim jailed for four years for attacking volunteers helping the homeless

A Muslim man who shouted ‘Allah is god’ as he spat at a Christian preacher has been jailed for four years. Ali Al-Hindawi, 23, targeted evangelical preacher Claudio Boggi, who is in a wheelchair, with threats as he handed out leaflets. He shouted: ‘Allah is god, Jesus was only a prophet. You’re in a wheelchair, you’re lucky I don’t hit you.’ Mr Boggi told Al-Hindawi he forgave him for for his actions adding ‘I love you because Jesus loves you’.

Several hours later he attacked Christian volunteer Kayode Ogunleye who was helping the homeless in Westminster. Al-Hindawi bit Mr Ogunleye’s fingers before attacking him with a metal bar. Two weeks later he was ordered to leave St Vincent’s homeless hostel after being accused of dealing drugs. He threatened to cut people’s throats and tried to burn the charity to the ground with a flamethrower fashioned out of a lighter and deodorant can. [Metro.co.uk] Read more
