“Walk With Jesus” Not Allowed

 While this article is about Britain and how they banned a “Walk With Jesus”, one can see how this is a story soon coming to America.  What would be the result if tens of thousands of Christians descended on Minneapolis and proceeded to march through the streets of “Little Mogadishu” which is where all the Somalians live and where you can hear call to prayer for Allah blaring?  Would Mayor Frey force the police to protect us and our legal right to march?  Or would the parade be banned before it started because Minneapolis officials would fear a confrontation between Muslims and Christians?

Britain has always claimed to be a land of faith and freedom--but those words ring hollow in Whitechapel. A planned "Walk With Jesus" march has been banned, not because it is illegal or violent, but because authorities fear it might offend others. Peaceful Christians are now being told they cannot proclaim their faith in public without risking arrest. This is more than a local police decision; it is a warning about the direction of an entire nation.

The Metropolitan Police's decision to halt the event, scheduled for January 31, centers on Whitechapel's large Muslim population. Organizers promoted the procession as a Christian worship event during what they called "the month dedicated to the holy name of Jesus." Yet, authorities deemed marching there "reckless," citing intelligence suggesting a hostile reaction that could lead to disorder. The march can proceed elsewhere--but not in the neighborhood chosen by the faithful.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner James Harman emphasized that the decision rested solely on public safety, not politics or offense. Anyone defying the ban would face arrest. But even framed as a safety precaution, the message is clear: in certain neighborhoods, publicly walking with Jesus is too dangerous for Britain to allow.

The troubling reality is that this ban sets a dangerous precedent for Christian expression. Public worship is no longer protected simply because it is peaceful and lawful; it is now conditional on whether it might provoke others. The message is unmistakable: if your faith risks offending someone, you must stay silent, stay home, or march somewhere "safe."

This is not neutrality--it is a surrender of fundamental rights. A nation that once proudly carried the name of Jesus through its streets, schools, and institutions now treats His name as a potential threat. When peaceful Christians are told they cannot publicly honor their Savior for fear of angering others, the very idea of religious freedom is eroded. Authorities are effectively placing the burden of tolerance on those who simply seek to live out their beliefs, while rewarding hostility with de facto control over public space.
