Pastor on trial for sharing faith with Muslims

From www.klove.com/news/top-stories.aspx
Mark Holick was communicating his faith by sharing Christian packets outside of a mosque in Kansas when he was arrested. The officer gave no answer when Holick asked what he was being charged with.

Holick is no stranger to speaking out about his faith, and won a previous trial after being arrested for sharing his faith on a public sidewalk down the road from a homosexual event.

Holick may have annoyed both of these groups by sharing his faith outside of these functions, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the write to share and communicate.

  1. I would like to know where this took place. The United States? If so, then his arrest was unjust- completely and totally rude and disrespectful, but unjust because it is his right to speak freely. However, if this took place in another country, say one following Islam such as Saudi Arabia, then he was in the wrong. You may exercise your rights in the country that gave you those rights, but it doesn't mean you can impose on another country. Not only do they have their own laws but more importantly, in their society pushing your beliefs on others right outside their religious sanctuary is beyond disrespectful, it's outrageous. So it's hard to say who was in the wrong in this case; more info is needed.
