(Harbinger’s Daily)—Christian street preacher, John Steele, has been vindicated after the Crown Prosecution Service dropped charges against him following his arrest in Rotherham town centre for asking a member of the public what the Quran says about domestic violence.
The incident, captured on police body cam footage, which led to Mr. Steele being detained and threatened with a ‘non-crime hate incident,’(NCHI) will spark widespread and escalating concern over policing priorities and the erosion of Christian freedom in the UK.
The story reveals embedded two-tier policing in Rotherham, where over many years South Yorkshire Police have failed to act on the systematic rape of young girls by predominantly Islamic men, but on this occasion swiftly arrested a Christian preacher for asking a question about the Quran.
The story also sheds further light on policing and community cohesion in Rotherham after it was revealed that a Labour activist, Muhbeen Hussain, awarded an MBE for services to “integration” called for Muslims in Rotherham who refused to boycott the police following the town’s grooming scandal to themselves be “boycotted by the Muslim community.”
John Steele, 60, who is being supported by lawyers at the Christian Legal Centre, is a former miner and long-serving bus driver. He was arrested on 21 June 2025 after engaging in a 30-second conversation with a Muslim woman wearing a hijab at a public awareness stall offering support to ethnic minorities/Pakistani women experiencing domestic abuse.
