After a two-week absence it was good to be back at Speakers Corner today, it was surprisingly a nice quiet afternoon\/evening, a reasonable crowd but many of the regular \u2018big hitting\u2019 Moslems were absent with just a couple making an appearance later on.
\nFor me a rare day because I enjoyed some good conversations without any of them turning into an argument or shouting match!
\nThe best dialogue being with Abdullah (2nd photo white shirt) a regular Moslem dawahist (evangelist) at the park. Although he is fixed in his views he does listen well to your points and will engage with what you said instead of jumping on to a different topic as many Moslems in the park tend to do.
\nPlease pray for him!<\/p>\n
