Hatun Tash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A Christian convert has been stabbed in the face and hands by an unidentified man in London for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Christian Post reported that Hatun Tash, 39, a former Muslim, was stabbed by a Muslim in July at the largest park in Central London.<\/p>\n

Tash, who is involved with the ministry Defend Christ Critique Islam (DCCI), is known for preaching critiques of Islam and debating the Holy Quran at Speakers\u2019 Corner, a spot where public debates hold in London\u2019s Hyde Park.<\/p>\n

The evangelical woman survived the attack and was treated by an ambulance service while sitting inside a police van after which she was taken to Central London Hospital for further medical attention.<\/p>\n

Tash, who was wearing a Charlie Hebdo T-shirt at the time of the incident, blamed the police for the attack, saying officers were afraid to take action against her attacker because he was a Muslim.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice inaction has led to what happened to me yesterday\u2026.It is heart-breaking that we live in a society where police do not want to arrest a Muslim for fear of being called Islamophobic, \u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She claimed her attacker wanted to kill her because she was questioning Islamic beliefs and preaching about the Christian gospel.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cI wanted to debate, discuss and tell people about Jesus Christ. I can\u2019t believe this has happened in broad daylight at Speakers\u2019 Corner. You do not expect such things to happen in Great Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Tash, the Speakers\u2019 Corner is seen now as a hostile and dangerous for Christians embarking on evangelism because it was not the first time she would be verbally and physically assaulted on the premises in the last two years.<\/p>\n

The Metropolitan police said its officers got to the scene at 3.34 pm and received a knife.<\/p>\n

The police though they were not treating the incident as terrorism-related, they have commenced search for the suspect.<\/p>\n

Also in a statement, Alex Bingley, a detective superintendent, of the Central West Command Unit, who polices Westminster, described the attack on Tash as a \u201cvery distressing incident for the woman involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cOfficers have spent time with her whilst she was being treated for her injury to get an account of what happened. We know that this assault was witnessed by a number of people, many of whom captured it on their phones. I would ask them, if they have not already done so, to contact police.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain in the early stages of our investigation and are working hard to trace the person responsible. I would ask people not to speculate on the motive for the attack until we have established the full facts.\u201d<\/p>\n
