My input is as factual as I can put it.
Whether the Muslims in this country were born here or came here after seeking political asylum or emigrating from their homelands, they chose the
United Kingdom in which to settle.
Having chosen the UK to live in, one could be forgiven for their not knowing that the UK is a predominantly Christian country and that English is the
language spoken by the inhabitants of these islands.
One could also expect these people to merge with or blend in to our society, live by our Acts of Parliament and in peace, under our Laws, both
Statutary and Parliamentary.
One could also be forgiven in thinking that those who choose to settle in the United Kingdom, would be capable of understanding the Queen's English,
let alone speak it.
I for one, do not have a problem with Muslims worshiping their God,
Allah and
His messenger the
Prophet Muhammad, Blessings &
Peace be upon him.
Nor do I have a problem with Muslims wishing to build and gilde their Mosques - after all, we Christians have built churches and cathedrals.
However, in my opinion, where this starts to go wrong is that there appears to be no level playing field.
Let's take Saudi Arabia as an example. Saudi Arabia is the
home of Islam and millions of Muslims trek to Mecca during the
Hage [?].
No Christian churches are allowed. The open practice of Christianity is punishable by death.
Egypt has between 7 and 10 million Christians.
So in order to buid a Christian church, the President of the country must sign a resolution to
that effect. Needless to say, none are built.
Turkey is a much loved friend of NATO, albeit a reluctant one. Their stance on Christians and their churches are quite differant:
Apart from lacking legal recognition, in fact, these minorities are prevented from constructing, and even from restoring, their places of
worship, from possessing buildings and land, and from opening schools. Christians are forbidden from taking up some offices and professions,
particularly in the military.
Algeria also has, according to the Christian sources, some 70,000 souls, though the figure is hotly disputed by the Algerians. Their take on all
matters Christian is :
Since 2006, Algeria requires every existing church to apply for a permit. So far, 25 churches have been denied the permit and ordered to shut
down. No new churches have been permitted.
Pakistan is one of the most militant of Muslim countries where the death penalty is allowed for those who convert to Christianity.
Christian are under constant pressure to convert to Islam or die. Gang-rapes of Christian girls are common as is the arrest of all Christians for
blasphemy. Young Christian women are sometimes kidnapped and forcibly converted to Islam, married, and then raped in an attempt to stamp out
Christianity by Islamic extremist (a practice in Egypt, also).
In a so called
moderate country like Indonesia, nothing could be further from the truth:
It is still very difficult to get a permit to build churches, so much so that many religious groups have had to practice their faith illegally. This
in turn has provided Islamic extremists with excuses to carry out violent attacks against home churches.
Iran used to have the largest Christians population openly worshipping, where churches were permitted to be built.
As we can see on our tv screens almost daily, the recent election results have not gone down well.
One of the reasons for the apparent backlash against the government, is the modern youth movement who are sick and tired of being ruled by people they
consider to be
mad mullahs!
Indeed, many of the youngsters have secretly converted to Christianity, an offense punishable by death.
Several Christian leaders, mostly converts from Islamic backgrounds, have been executed or assassinated. The deaths which occurred in 1994 are
particularly renowned and include Rev. Hussein Soodman, Mehdi Dibaj and Bishop Haik.
No new churches have been constructed in years, although a few which were confiscated by the Government have been repaired for tourists.
There you have it. These countries are the largest in the Muslim world. The remarkable tolerance of Muslims is only matched by their hypocrisy.
It is high time those who govern this country, start applying the law without any grace or favour to those who choose to live here.
or run away from here depending on what your views are..
