Evangelical pastor on trial for branding Islam 'satanic'
WND ^ | 14 Dec 2015 | Bob Unruh

A pastor is facing a court trial this week on a government charge that his message, delivered through a public electronic communications because it was online, was grossly offensive to the point of being criminal.

The decision that results from the case, which is based on the pastor's description of Islam as a "doctrine spawned in hell," could determine whether Christian pastors will be allowed to preach biblical doctrine in the United Kingdom going forward.

U.TV in the United Kingdom reports that Pastor James McConnell, 78, of Shore Road, Newtownabbey, is facing a three-day trial for charges stemming from alleged violations of the 2003 Communications Act.

There are two charges pending, the improper use of a public electronic communications network and causing a "grossly offensive message" to be distributed, the report said.

The fight, McConnell earlier told the Mail, "Is important for every minister of the gospel of every denomination of freedom of speech and freedom of worship. This is, I believe, a test case."

Part of the comments in his sermon included, "People say there are good Muslims in Britain - that may be so - but "I don't trust them. Islam is heathen, Islam is satanic, Islam is a doctrine spawned in hell."

Great.
Speaking the truth is now a crime.
God Bless this Pastor for not watering down his message into mush.

"...Islam is heathen, Islam is satanic, Islam is a doctrine spawned in hell."

Can't add much more to that...

Islam has encoded in its teachings- murder, lying, plunder, slavery, rape, warfare, and even terrorism as part of its official religious doctrine. Jesus said that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, and this is exactly what Islam has done from its beginning. No other religion so completely fits the description in the Bible of the beast and false prophet than Islam.

Islam is different from all the other religions that do not believe in Jesus, because Islam officially declares that Jesus is not the Son of God (Quran 4: 171; 18: 4-5), which is the Biblical definition of Antichrist: "Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son" (1 John 2: 22).

The spread of Islam has left a trail of blood, suffering, and destruction like no other ideology in world history. History, and even this present age, shows us that Islam is a very violent and fascist religion, full of hate for Christians and Jews. No one could invent a more evil cult.

Indeed - maybe this will be revealed during his trial.

Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of Gods will.

That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it is understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis but by bombing and killing those who believe in it will not end its practice. Islam as construed with its portrayal of a mercyless evil deity approving using deception and deceit is an abomination which must be discredited and condemed. And that can only be done by attacking its assertions and tenets. Certainly not by deying they do not exist. .

But bewildering why many Christian clergy concerned about quote, political correctness, unquote, refuse to address what an insult to God it is and worse yet are unable to condem then convince and convert its advocates and adhearants they are followers of an evil creed .

Are the British authorities saying that there’s something wrong with calling Muslims “Satanic” because of their religious beliefs?

That’s terrible! It’s grossly unfair to the Satanists!

Worse things are said about the “infidel” in mosques in Britain everyday, but don’t hold your breath waiting for anyone who says them to be prosecuted for hate speech or incitement.

Ah, yes. The new Ireland. Glimmering like a shining emerald.

Killing babies, marriage of perverts, turning their backs on the true Christian God....no surprise here.
