Verdict due on 'anti-Islam' preacher who branded the religion ‘satanic’

A verdict is due to be delivered in the case against a born-again Christian preacher accused of making grossly offensive remarks about Islam.

Pastor James McConnell from Shore Road, Newtownabbey, Co Antrim, has been prosecuted under the 2003 Communications Act after he said Islam was “heathen”, “satanic” and a “doctrine spawned in hell”.
