On July 6, 2015, three evangelical Christian street preachers were confronted by 150 angry people after they shouted slogans labeling the Prophet Mohammed and Allah as deceivers and called homosexuality immoral. Police arrived to arrest Major Adrian Clark, 51, Michael Overd, 52, and Michael Stockwell, 50, the Daily Mail details.

In 2015, Overd said his motivation for preaching against Islam and homosexuality was to spread the message of God's love and forgiveness. He said he needed to discuss man's sinfulness to achieve his goal of sharing the message, the BBC reports.

Christian Legal Centre chief executive Andrea Williams acknowledged Overd's motivation to share the gospel of Christ to other people. However, she also admitted that some people are "fragile" when it comes to certain public discussions.

The prosecution said they shocked onlookers when they used a microphone and took turns speaking against Islam, Buddhism, pre-marital sex, and sexuality on the first day of the Eid festival. However, all of them deny the allegations of using religiously abusive words and behavior.

Footage from Overd's body camera during the incident was played in court. The video confirmed that he indeed called the Prophet Mohammed a liar.

"Allah is the greatest deceiver - that's in the Quran," Stockwell is heard saying in the video. He also said, "You will die for your sins and be cast into hell," and "Jesus Christ is coming back and taking vengeance."

Overd, on the other hand, labeled the Prophet Mohammed and Buddha as liars.

"Mohammed is a liar and a thief, just like you and me.. Buddha isn't on the cross - he is a liar, just like you and me," said Overd to the crowd.

At present, two of the three evangelical preachers are standing trial at Bristol Magistrates Court. According to a recent report from the Bristol Post, magistrates decided the prosecution failed to prove there was a case against Clark thus clearing him of the charges.

Meanwhile, the trial for the two other evangelical Christian preachers continues.
