Perhaps Muslims should never take pleasure in the demise of those who spread lies and disinformation against Islam. Having read Dr Sookhdeo’s vile fundamentalist Christian propaganda in the past I was shocked to hear of his arrest and resignation from the Barnabas Fund a few days ago. Mehdi Hasan in The Guardian has rightly accused him of being a “crude, anti-Islam propagandist”. And it looks like he has been accused of sexual assault before. But I am happy that this particular man’s ‘Christian’ ministry has come to an abrupt end. For that I am truly grateful.

Update on this from Wikipedia:
On 21 November 2015, Patrick Sookhdeo was arrested by the Metropolitan Police at Heathrow Airport on
suspicion of indecent assault.[23] The following day, Sookhdeo resigned from all roles at Barnabas Aid
International and Barnabas Fund due to the media publicity around his arrest.[24] In February 2016, the
trustees of the Barnabas Fund defended Patrick Sookhdeo and announced his intention to appeal the
conviction.[19] They reported that twelve senior Anglican figures had concluded after looking at the evidence
that “there had been a concerted move to take Patrick Sookhdeo down and destroy Barnabas Fund.”[19]
It also described Sookhdeo’s arrest by armed officers from the Metropolitan Police at Heathrow after an ‘all
ports’ alert had been issued for him, even though for a month prior, he had been living in his own home 100
metres from the police station which prompted the arrest.[19].
In early March 2016, it was reported that Patrick Sookhdeo was facing historical sexual assault charges against a woman dating back to 1977.[25] On 4 April 2016, Sookhdeo appeared in the Thames District Court where he was arraigned on one count of indecent assault on a woman aged 16 or over in Plaistow, East London, in 1977. He has denied the charge and is scheduled to face trial at the Snaresbrook Crown Court.[26]
