London's Muslim mayor celebrates turning St Paul's Cathedral into nightclub venue

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is reveling in the remaking of St. Paul's Cathedral into a nightclub with events hosted by rave company Fabric. Raves, of course, are all night dance parties where attendees take drugs and use hallucinogens in a bid toward bacchanalian depravity and not a deepening of their Christian faith.

St. Paul's is an Anglican cathedral that was consecrated in the year 604. Their archives date back to 1099 and their library, designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1708, holds over 13,000 volumes and manuscripts going back to the 12th century. Medieval stonework, Grinling Gibbons' wood carvings, and priceless artworks are just a few things in the St. Paul's collection.

"Fabric. St Paul’s Cathedral. Name a more iconic duo," Khan posted, sharing a BBC story about the new collaboration. Khan has praised London for holding the "biggest iftar" in the world for the breaking of a Ramadan fast and also encouraged the British Muslim Trust for tracking so-called "Islamophobia."

"Bringing together these two institutions will create a one-of-a-kind experience, pairing world-class music with one of our most special landmarks."

"St Paul's Cathedral has signed a four-year deal with the London nightclub Fabric to stage music events inside the building," the BBC reports, saying that Fabric, the "exclusive partner" through 2030, will stage a "carefully curate programme of exceptional concerts."

"These events showcase world-class talent and create unforgettable experiences for audiences within one of London's most iconic spaces," said St. Paul's director of visitor engagement Sandra Lynes Timbrell.

Fabric co-founder Cameron Leslie finds it a match made in heaven too, saying "fabric has always been about bringing people together through music and creating experiences that stay with people. The opportunity to do that at St Paul’s Cathedral over the next four years is incredibly exciting for us. It’s an extraordinary and unexpected coming together of two very different parts of London, and we’re looking forward to building on the success of the events we’ve already held and creating something genuinely special and befitting of this incredible space."

The parties, says the church, will host artists "from different musical backgrounds and disciplines whose work responds to the Cathedral's distinctive atmosphere, acoustics and architectural heritage.

They say "The new collaboration reflects St Paul's Cathedral's commitment to welcoming diverse audiences and creating opportunities for people to experience the Cathedral through music, culture and the arts."

The apparent desecration of the house of worship did not pass notice on X where many called out the absurdity of hosting debaucherous parties in cathedral, should Fabric's reputation precede it into the house of God.

"You think we’re going to react well to you desecrating our holy places, mayor?" asked Winston Marshall.

"London Central Mosque is also an iconic venue. When’s the rave?" Asked author Douglas Murray.

"It’s not a 'special landmark'," said MP Nick Timothy. "It’s a place of worship. Built to celebrate Christ. And treating it like a nightclub is completely wrong."

"I guess a church that compromises a sense of itself as a sacred space does indeed risk diminishing itself to the status of a landmark," said Tom Holland.

"The Muslim mayor of London is quite literally inviting people to dance on the graves of Catholic bishops. This is no accident," said Fox News Digital's David Marcus.

James Esses said "The Mayor of London supports turning Christian places of worship into nightclubs under the title of ‘Rave in the Nave’. But would he support ‘Mosh in the Mosque’? I think not."

It’s a rather sad event, to lose what was once seen as a House of God, to sundry, secular use.
However, I’m guessing that huge building had not been in full or partial use by Christians or anybody for a very long time. Property taxes are expensive too.

He’s celebrating getting it out of worship. He’s not going there. Nor are his friends.

And yet they would never do this to a mosque for obvious reasons.

Well, at least the Muslims didn’t try to burn St. Paul’s Cathedral down. Or convert it into a mosque.

Unfortunately, one of those two events will probably happen sooner or later.

Side note to the British military: Coups are not always bad things.
Just sayin’.

Yep, while massively-funded propaganda campaigns by Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood etc brainwash the brain-dead impressionable masses in the Western world that Jews are the cause of all their problems.

“St Paul’s Cathedral has signed a four-year deal with the London nightclub Fabric to stage music events inside the building,”

A Lessor and a Lessee arrived upon an agreement that was favorable to each party and now there are third parties that object to that agreement?

Not sure why everybody is giving the mayor crap about this. The CofE signed the deal.

Well, if they did it would be a trap.

Party-goers would enter through a first floor door, and exit by being thrown off the roof.

It’s a cultural differences thing, dontcha know?

This is just a way station on its way to becoming a mosque.

A couple things. First. Muslims desecrate all things Christian. What better way than to turn it in to a den of faggotry. Second. What better target for Kahn’s muzzie terrorists than a den of faggotry desecrating a Christian church. And once the blood is cleaned up there will be “no choice” but to turn it in to a mosque. And the Muslims will celebrate.

Any complaints from the current "Pope" - the one who has no problem trashing conservative Americans? Didn't thing so.,.. Too busy? He needs to get back to 'fighting climate change' or whtever the newest BS elite fad is today.
