A female police officer who apparently defended the rights of a Christian street preacher against complaints from a crowd of Muslim men in London has been praised for her actions.

A clip of the exchange in the predominantly Muslim area of Whitechapel, in London, has gone viral on social media, with a single post on X being viewed over half a million times.

One bystander in the tense exchange can be heard accusing the preacher of insulting the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

As the group press the officer to take action, the Metropolitan Police Officer can be heard saying: "I understand that you don't want to hear it, but I would recommend that you just move away and don't listen to him."

She dealt with that so well. I love the way that she simply said "He's not." when a bystander accused him of inciting hatred. That's what we need: more people saying that it is not inciting racial violence when we preach our gospel or say we that don't believe in Islam.
