The Latest Crazies

So this past Sunday (28th March) with my family down in London to celebrate my graduation we headed to Hyde Park for a listen to the crazies  Big turn out this week with a couple of new speakers (at least for me) who were both drawing big crowds.

In a way these guys were sort of polar opposites.  One an American Christian Evangelist was extolling the views of the Bible, while criticising Islam.  He was particularly focused on the Qu’ran and spent much of his time in arguments with a group of young Muslims who disagreed with his interpretation of their religion.

The other was a young (for Speakers Corner anyway) British Muslim who was discussing Sharia Law, punishment and forgiveness.  Like the first speaker he also spent much of his time talking about other faiths and was particularly critical of Christianity.  Another paralell was that he also seemed to spend most of his time in an argument with a group of Christians.  Just another day at Speakers Corner!

I haven’t been the most active blogger, or photographer lately, but hopefully with the weather starting to look at bit better and the election campaign around the corner, there should be plenty more posts and photos coming in the next few weeks.
