Britain's first 'mosque'

back then Britain was a different society, highly religious, Christian, conservative, reactionary, intolerant, with theocratic elements. Its not a surprise that an evangelical Muslim was treated as he was. Today, Britain is a free liberal secular country in which Muslims make dawah everywhere they want, but there isn't a single Islamic society in which reciprocal freedoms of religion exist, and the condition for those who want to leave Islam are more direful, oppressive and violent than anything he faced.
The attitudes of intolerance comparable is found today within Islam in the UK where its not possible to be openly critical and rejecting of Islam, where apostasy taboos prevail inside the Muslim community, and the lessons to be learnt from this are being missed by Muslims I fear.
