Christians should marry Muslims to tackle Islamophobia, says peer

CHRISTIANS should be encouraged to marry Muslims as a way of tackling Islamophobia, a senior peer claimed today.

Lord Scott, a former Supreme Court Judge, cited his own family - in which two of his four children married Muslims - as an example of how interfaith families can thrive.

The peer, who sits as a crossbencher in the Lords, made the comments during a debate on how to improve relations between the Muslim community and other faith groups in the UK.

He said: “Of my two sons one has become a Muslim and of my two daughters one of those has become a Muslim, and I have 12 lovely grandchildren, seven of whom are little Muslims.

He added: “The family relationships since those events took place have been as happily familial, as close and as good as any parent or grandparent could wish.

“I do just wonder that if an improvement is needed between the faith groups, one way of promoting that might be to encourage interfaith marriages.”

Responding for the Government, Baroness Warsi said: “It’s important that we allow people to marry somebody of their choosing whatever faith they belong to, and that’s why I’m incredibly proud that the Government has done so much work on the issue of forced marriages, including criminalising a practice which should have been criminalised a long time ago.”

Christian women should marry Muslim men and become slaves and be thrown in jail if they get raped and hung by the neck until dead if they seek divorce and have their children taken from them when hubby wants to move back to sh*t-hole-land and generally get smacked around as a daily lesson in Honor.

How fun!

" He said several times he was offered high six-figures to low seven-figures to convert to Islam. "

By who? ...his superior officers, or from locals? How deeply infiltrated is our military brass? ...and how long ago were these lucrative offers made?

Yeah, it figures he’d be a crossbencher. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

Implicit in his remark is that when there is an interfaith marriage, it is always the Christian who is asked to convert "for the children." What if when this man gets to Judgment, Christ turns his back, as this man has turned his back on Christ.

"Lord Scott,,, cited his own family - in which two of his four children married Muslims"
translation: in order to validate the behavior of my children, I want to insist everyone else do the same as my children did so I don't feel awkward

Gee, if only his children had married gays or lesbians and manufactured some grandchildren for him, he could post on FR in defense of gay marriage. /sarc

By Muslims he came in contact with in his work. No, his superiors weren’t bribing him to convert back then. This would’ve been the 70’s and 80’s I assume.
