Religious belief branded 'mental illness'

Pastor being ruthlessly persecuted by German authorities

- by TOM KING

IN a twisted tale of faith, betrayal and government overreach, Pastor Sven Mueller, a Christian missionary and leader of a Jewish Messianic Church, finds himself fighting for asylum in the UK after enduring horrific persecution at the hands of the German authorities.

His story raises serious questions about free speech, mental health exploitation and the increasing authoritarianism gripping Europe.

For over 15 years, Pastor Mueller served with unwavering dedication, preaching the Gospel and offering pastoral care to the community through untainted evangelistic work, streetpreaching, churchleading in various churches and bishops work, helping church leaders in Stuttgart, Germany.

But his peaceful work took a dark turn when, one fateful day, he was unfairly thrown out of a bookstore in Germany. His crime? Sharing a message of love and hope with the customers: “Jesus loves you, please read the Bible.” This simple declaration led to his ejection from the store, and soon after, the German police intervened, citing vague and unfounded claims of ‘aggressiveness’. In a shocking move, they demanded he surrender his driving licence without any valid reason.

But that was just the beginning of his nightmare. The authorities then demanded that Pastor Mueller undergo a psychiatric evaluation at his own expense —a staggering 700 euros — before they would even consider returning his driving licence. When he responded by writing polite letters to the police, explaining that their actions were criminal, their chilling reply came: ‘It doesn’t matter what people believe. You must undergo the psychiatric test.’
