Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” – Isaac Asimov

Last week, Shalini was kicked and Jason was punched twice by those who belong the religion of peace! The summer period always sees gangs of young Moslem men from Saudi Arabi flooding the Corner and acting as if they own the park and can do what they like. Glad to say that in all the madness there are many sensible Moslems who want to debate and not cause trouble. One thing for sure, it aint gonna be dull!

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spread their message or to have fun.
