The UK refused entry by a Christian refugee from Iran noting on their decision that Christian “is too violent.” Meanwhile, the UK welcomed 400 ISIS fighters back home into the country in 2017.
The U.K. government agency in charge of immigration has come under fire for denying political asylum to an Iranian convert to Christianity and explaining its decision on its contention that the religion is not peaceful.
The Iranian man had said in his asylum petition that he converted to Christianity because it was a “peaceful” religion.
The U.K. Home Office, which oversees immigration and passports, among other things, sent the Iranian national a letter that said the book of Revelations is “filled with imagery of revenge, destruction, death and violence,” according to the Independent.
It cited excerpts from the Bible, according to the newspaper, and added: “These examples are inconsistent with your claim that you converted to Christianity after discovering it is a ‘peaceful’ religion, as opposed to Islam which contains violence, rage and revenge.”
The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam
John Quincy Adams on Islam
“In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.
Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus” (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).
This (sadly) reads like satire. Well, I guess it would’ve ten years ago :(
Dude, the name of the book is The REVELATION of Jesus Christ. Not “Revelations”.
Try reading the Bible yourself.
Leftists DON’T think. They EMOTE.
what the hell is wrong with you UK? Wake up! Idiots!
WTF are They thinking? This is total BS.
Some people in the Home Office need to be sent to The Tower of London.
When Christ with a word kills the armies of the Antichrist and sends the angels out to slay everyone who took the mark of the beast that is simply Him doing what He has right to do as the Lord.
It’s easy to be a liberal/progressive when you’re dumber than a box of rocks.
Brits, Kiwis, Aussies, and Canucks all are lecturing us Yanks about our “lax gun laws” and scream at us to turn in our guns and usher in a new, peaceful world.
In a pig’s eye, mate! You want ‘em, come and take ‘em!
Christians are to violent? Who was that idiot? I believe I can finally found someone who is as dumb as Maxine Waters.
Satire, right?
Dude, the name of the book is The REVELATION of Jesus Christ. Not “Revelations”.
Try reading the Bible yourself.

I simply replied to your statement in post 3 above that “There’s no such book in the Bible” to point out that they were referencing the final book of the New Testament. I did NOT say what the name of that book was. For some reason you’ve decided to QUIBBLE.
Wikipedia on “Book of Revelation”:
“The Book of Revelation, often called the Revelation to John, the Apocalypse of John, The Revelation, or simply Revelation, the Revelation of Jesus Christ (from its opening words) or the Apocalypse (and often misquoted as Revelations), is the final book of the New Testament,...”
I’m certainly glad you now recognize the Book and I’m OK with you, and other folks, calling it whatever you or they want.
Makes me glad that it is leaving the EU
As if the EU is any better?
The UK is like this due to EU influence.
Better get away from that notion that the EU is anything like the USA as founded. It’s the antithesis.
BTW, the current Home Secretary (head of the Home Office) is one Sajid Javid, another Remainer in spite of his rhetoric (actions speak louder than words) and a “non-practicing” Muslim—the actions of his Home Office speak to that also.
Though to be fair Sajid Javid refuse to allow the jihadi bride to come back from Syria
