Canadian YouTuber and documentary filmmaker Lauren Southern was detained for six hours upon attempting to enter the UK and questioned about her Christianity.
The UK claimed that she is racist over her previously handing out material that said that “Allah is a gay God,” despite the fact that Islam is not a race. She was held and questioned under Section 7, the terrorism act.

The government claimed that she presents “a threat to the fundamental interests of society and to the public policy of the United Kingdom.”
Dear @AmberRuddHR – you have detained @Lauren_Southern in Calais and prevented her entering the U.K. She is a Christian Conservative. You have sided with Islamists of Luton. You need to make better decisions ma’am. pic.twitter.com/rpAgSEwLI3

Her ban came on the same day that the nation released American author and journalist Brittany Pettibone and Austrian activist Martin Sellner — after detaining them for nearly three days over their right-wing beliefs.
“I’m not kidding about this, but during my questioning by the UK police… I was asked about my Christianity and whether I’m a radical. I was also asked how I feel about running Muslims over with cars,” Southern tweeted following her release.

Southern, who was travelling alone, was released outside the gate in Calais.
