Praying Silently? Go To Jail!

     A woman in the U.K. was literally arrested for committing thought crime. Specifically she was standing and praying silently.   She was across the street from an abortion clinic but wasn’t protesting, interfering with anyone coming or going, or otherwise doing anything except standing there praying silently.   And yes, her admitting to praying silently is the reason why she was arrested.

Police in the UK arrest a woman for silently praying:

     Would the British police have arrested her if she were Muslim?
