You don’t expect to be attack for your faith in Christianized societies especially some place like England that is a “Christian nation:”<\/p>\n

AN Anglican priest has been beaten up and insulted in what appears to be a \u201cfaith hate\u201d assault by Asian youths.
\nPolice are looking for three men after the attack in east London in which Canon Michael Ainsworth, 57, rector of St George-in-the-East, Shadwell, was attacked in his own churchyard after approaching the youths, who were behaving rowdily.
\nTwo of the three attacked him, inflicting cuts, bruises and two black eyes. The assailants are also alleged to have insulted the cleric for his occupation.
\n\u201cThe suspects are Asian… and the incident is being investigated as an alleged faith hate crime,\u201d said a police spokesman.
\nUnder a new law introduced last year, it is an offence to stir up hatred against someone on grounds of their religion.
\n[…]
\nThe Metropolitan Police recorded an upsurge in attacks against Muslims after the July 2005 bombings in London. There are also numerous attacks against Jews but, according to police statistics, relatively few Christians are attacked because of their faith. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
