The U.K. is at it again, blocking a Finnish parliamentarian, Päivi Räsänen. from entering the United Kingdom based on a “hate speech” conviction hung on her for quoting the Bible and defending Scripture, according to Alliance Defending Freedom CEO Kristen Waggoner.
According to LifeSite News:
Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen was once again blocked from entering the United Kingdom due to her “hate speech” conviction for defending Scripture, according to Alliance Defending Freedom CEO Kristen Waggoner. Räsänen is a member of Finnish Parliament’s “Friends of the United Kingdom” group.
Ironically, Räsänen is apparently a member of the Finnish Parliament’s “Friends of the United Kingdom” group. With friends like today’s U.K., who needs enemies?
This is the second time in as many months that Räsänen has been denied entry to the U.K. Last month, Räsänen -- a doctor, grandmother, member of Finnish parliament, and devout Christian-- was informed that she could not travel through London’s Heathrow Airport after speaking at an ADF conference.
I will leave it up to you to decide which one of those attributes U.K. authorities were uncomfortable with.
Räsänen was recently invited to speak at a religious liberty conference in Northern Ireland, but the U.K. refused to let her enter the country, due to her “hate speech” conviction for authoring a church pamphlet on Biblical marriage back in 2004.
But, Quran O.K. “Allahu Akhbar” no problem. Translation: Oppressing women and murdering infidels such as gays and lesbians is fine, but quoting a Bible passage or two suggesting that same sex encounters may be sinful is right out. Better to just throw gays and lesbians off rooftops or stone them to death. (Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity baby! DIE!) Seems like quite a bit of toxic masculinity for such a weak tit country, doesn’t it?

The land that is now Turkey was a predominantly Christian region for over 700 years, spanning from the Roman legalization of Christianity in 330 AD until the arrival of Islamic Turkic tribes in 1071 AD.
The same thing is happening to the UK.
That will be their only salvation, in more ways than one.
