His crime?  He made a public utterance that state prosecutors concluded was "denigrating" of Islam.

		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=1594818">One News Now</a>: The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) has made progress in defending the rights of Christians in India. . . . "No one should be targeted for violence, inhuman treatment and religious discrimination simply because of their Christian faith," [Benjamin] Bull contends. "The legal efforts of ADF in India are all designed to ensure that the religious freedoms protected in India's constitution are upheld. Aggressors should not be allowed to get away with persecution by either disregarding the law or by attempting to pass laws that conflict with the constitution."

It seems he had the audacity to deliver a homily from the Bible during a Good Friday mass extolling the virtues of the sinless life. And as bad as this was—reading aloud from the Bible on Good Friday and all—everything he did was acceptable until he included “homosexual behavior” as one of the sins to be avoided.  <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/26/ben-bull-the-hate-speech-prosecution-bishop-juan-antonio-reig-pla/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ADF Chief Counsel Benjamin Bull at <a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/benjaminbull/2012/03/28/same_sex_marriage_isnt_a_right">Townhall</a>: Throughout the world, the moniker of “human rights” has long been a cloak for a number of so-called rights that cannot be justified in any other way . . . But the European Court of Human Rights recently bucked the trend by ruling that same-sex “marriages” will not be recognized under that subterfuge. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/03/28/same-sex-marriage-isnt-a-right/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

Yet while he’s doing his best to appeal to that group, Christians around the world continue to be persecuted—to be hunted like animals, then tortured and killed when captured—yet we are still awaiting a serious White House memorandum on their behalf. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/12/13/ben-bull-when-will-discrimination-against-christians-be-banned/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.fed-soc.org/events/id.1523/event_detail.asp">Federalist Society</a>: This event is co-sponsored by The Alliance Defense Fund . . . Our panel will examine the application of the Johnson Amendment to religious ministers in their preaching duties during worship services. Does the Johnson Amendment constrain clergy from effectively imparting messages integral to their faith, or is it an appropriate safeguard to ensure that churches and government limit their respective activities?
Panelists:
Benjamin W. Bull, Chief Counsel, Alliance Defense Fund
Professor Douglas Laycock, Yale Kamisar Collegiate Professor of Law, The University of Michigan Law School
Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Executive Director, Americans United for Separation of Church and State
Professor Donald B. Tobin, Associate Dean for Faculty, The Ohio State University, Michael E. Moritz College of Law
Moderator: Steffen N. Johnson, Esq., Winston &#38; Strawn LLP <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/05/15/federalist-society-event-politics-in-the-pulpit-may-20th/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.christianpost.com/Society/General/2008/05/christian-group-defends-national-day-of-prayer-01/">Christian Post</a>: “Americans shouldn’t be forced to abandon their religious heritage simply to appease someone’s political agenda,' said Alliance Defense Fund chief counsel Benjamin Bull. "The U.S. Supreme Court has acknowledged that public prayer is ‘deeply embedded in the history and tradition of this country,’” he continued. “The National Day of Prayer has been a part of that. That is why ADF attorneys stand ready to defend the right of millions of Americans who wish to join together in prayer on May 1 without fear of legal attack from those who seek to silence their constitutional right to pray.” <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/05/05/christian-group-defends-national-day-of-prayer-2/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>
