A Christian family in Yorkshire who converted from Islam has said it has ‘given up on the Church of England’, after claiming it failed to provide them with support following ongoing persecution. Since their conversion, they claim they have suffered regular persecution from Muslim neighbours who view them as ‘apostates.’ Their victimisation included having their car windscreens smashed seven times in the last year, eggs thrown at their windows and verbal and physical confrontations. One prosecution was made and the father of the family, 49-year-old Nissar Hussain, has himself received a police caution. Nissar was forced to quit his job as a nurse, after being diagnosed with depression and post-traumatic-stress disorder, and the family have already moved house once. Mr Hussain has criticised both the police's and the Church of England's responses to their situation and has filed a complaint with the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
