Britain: Hotel owners charged for "insulting" muslim guest

A British couple, who own a hotel, have been charged with breaching public order for apparently offending a muslim woman who was staying at their hotel. Mrs Vogelenzang, 54, the owner of the hotel, commented that islamic dress for women is a form of bondage when the muslim guest showed up in an islamic veil. Apparently Mr. Vogelenzang stated that Muhammen was a warlord.

So... the muslim guest was offended by the truth. WTF is wrong with Britain? This isn't just dhimmitude on part of British officials, this is implementation of shariah law in Britain. Daily Mail

A Christian couple have been charged with a criminal offence after taking part in what they regarded as a reasonable discussion about religion with guests at their hotel.

Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang were arrested after a Muslim woman complained to police that she had been offended by their comments.[...]

The couple, whose trial has been set for December, face a fine of up to £5,000 and a criminal record if they are convicted.

Although the facts are disputed, it is thought that during the conversation the couple were challenged over their Christian beliefs.

It is understood that they suggested that Mohammed, the founder of Islam, was a warlord and that traditional Muslim dress for women was a form of bondage.

They deny, however, that their comments were threatening and argue that they had every right to defend and explain their beliefs.
