Church seminar provokes landmark race hate case
Play
Stop
In 2002 three Muslim converts attended a Pentecostal church seminar which claimed to be about understanding Islam. What they heard disturbed them so much that they took the church group, Catch The Fire, to court in a test case of new Victorian racial vilification laws. It was a fiery case, lasting six years, in which Islamic beliefs were pitted against those of fundamentalist Christians beliefs, with neither side prepared to agree or back down. Hanifa Deen followed the case and has written a book about it “The Jihad Seminar”.
