Don’t think Christians in this country are persecuted for their beliefs?  Think again.

Four Christian missionaries were arrested at the annual Arab International Festival on June 18, 2010.  The question is: Why?

They couldn’t have been arrested for causing a disturbance, because they did not approach anyone, in fact, everyone they spoke with approached them first.

They were not harassing anyone.  The moment anyone indicated that they didn’t want these people talking to them they stopped.

They weren’t spreading hate speech, in fact they said almost nothing about Islam at all.  Instead they repeatedly affirmed love for all Muslims. When asked “Why would you love me?” they would reply with statements like “Because Jesus loves you, and he told me to love you.”

Then the mayor of Dearborn got into the act.  The following video is their response to statements the mayor made about them.
