Oxford 'Cancels' England's Patron Saint George to Appease Islam
PJ Media ^ | 23 Apr 2023 | Raymond Ibrahim

Today, April 23, is Saint George’s Day, which used to be widely celebrated, especially in England, as George is that nation’s patron saint.

To underscore just how much things have changed between England and its patron saint, consider the following “what if” scenario offered by English historian Edward Gibbon (1737-1794). Had the Muslims won at the pivotal Battle of Tours (732 A.D.), Gibbon predicted that:

Perhaps the interpretation of the Koran would now be taught in the schools of Oxford, and her pulpits might demonstrate to a circumcised people [meaning Brits would now be Muslim] the sanctity and truth of the revelation of Muhammad.

Today, of course, not only is the “revelation of Muhammad” being taught and honored at Oxford, but Christianity—including in the guise of Saint George—is being canceled for its sake. Most recently...

A decision by an Oxford university college not to celebrate St George’s Day with a formal dinner has been branded ‘barking mad.’ Magdalen College has decided against continuing an annual pre-pandemic banquet celebrating the English saint that drew together Oxford students, dons and fellows. Instead, the only occasion the college will observe on the day is Eid al-Fitr, the Islamic festival marking the end of Ramadan.

Yep. And they’re doing it here with their stupid islamophobia charges. They’re nothing but a geopolitical system bent on instituting jihadist and Shariah law in America.

I’m telling you right now, when we (Christians) are gone (Jesus takes us) the world is TOAST.

A careful and prayerful reading of scripture reveals that upon our exit from this planet (the “rapture” - in a few decades IMO), Jihad, Worldwide Islamic Supremacy, and bloodshed will fill the earth. The reason, the Bible tells us, is because those who are left behind (who didn’t receive Jesus) have received “STRONG DELUSION” instead of the love of the truth.

The world leader, later called the “beast”, is revealed as an Assyrian but nobody knows yet who it is - only after we and the Holy Spirit and His restraining power are gone, will this “man of sin” be revealed and the whole world will “wonder” after him.

The time to get saved is NOW!!

If Charles Martel (the “Hammer”) had lost the Battle of Tours, there might not have even been a Christian Middle Ages. That’s how thin the thread is that holds civilization together.

These woke idiots have no understanding of history or of the ongoing struggle to preserve a world of order and goodness against the forces of chaos and death.

Time for yet another stanza to mywork in process (begun in 2008!) which began lampooning the British schools infatuation with Islam; to be sung to "God Save the King"

Oxford now saith, “Nay”
To keep Saint George’s day
With feast this year.
What honor shared instead
Of their patron saint’s head?
Why, have you not read?
Eid-al-Fitr.

And the previous stanzas:

To Muslims don't be rude
Living in dhimmitude,
No offense bring.
Gospel preaching is "hate"
Christian faith second rate
The goal of servile state:
Alllah is King.

All women Hijabs wear
To avoid angry stares
Muslim or not.
Cover in sight of school!
That is the contract rule
Can't have muzzie school boys drool
At hair so hot.

For kiddie's farm set play
We take the pigs away
(They are unclean)
Never make Muzzies mad
They might declare Jihad
And though it makes children sad
Pigs are unseen.

When Ramadan draws near
We forsake ale and beer
(Can't give offense)
School children can't eat lunch
Can't even candies crunch
Lest Moslems' panties bunch
Dhimmis' nonsense.

Can't stop with solid food
Liquid intake is rude
Don't "water" kids
Let them all dehydrate
Christian faith’s second-rate
Diversity’s ever-great
Alllah is King.

Don"t ignite a Koran
Can"t even burqas ban
They might protest
Shar-i-a's here to stay
Amputate, stone away
Beheadings on Friday
Thus falls the West.

We'll sport a shav-ed head
Wear sashes made of red
To get along.
Appeasement is our way,
Chamberlin our main stay
"Give us peace in our day"
Our final song.

History books made clean
"Holocaust" never seen
Must teach a lie.
Separate but equal?
Not in a British school
What is this new found rule?
"All truth must die."

Don"t write Father Christmas
He is no terrorist
But send a note
To those who spread ill will
Torture maim, hurt and kill
Support ISIS, we will
And on them dote

For spitting in a pram
The suspect on the lam
Never sees jail
“White people should not breed”
Such filthy muslim screed
Goes unpunished do take heed:
Britain shall fail.

When gay priders sashay
No signs “Allah is Gay”
Don’t dare offend.
All animals equal
But some are more equal
Living by Orwell’an rules
Free speech does end.

When Muslims groom school girls
Our upper lips are curled
“Asians” the word.
Can’t let Muslims be vexed
While kids are prepped for sex
What perversion shall be next?
Our world is Third.

Schoolgirls must Hijabs wear
Cover all female hair
As young as five
If they are covered not
“Islamophobe” is thought
What has this madness wrought?
Islam will thrive

Don’t make a crude, rude joke
‘Twill land you in poke
No free speech here.
“Come here to bomb the place?”
Can’t say with any face
Insult Muslims: disgrace
Jail time is near.

Fact, the anti christ is quietly on the move.
The fools of England don’t even know their history nor do they have enough pride to care.

They will not like the next step.

Just like Americans, they won’t like what comes after America

You are so right, except (imho)your use of "decades." I'd say much less than that. Since His departure/ascension was sometime between 30 and 33AD.

In two or three days he will heal us and restore our strength that we may live with him.
Hosea 6:2
(Be Blessed!)

This site is fascinating but a bit too far ahead of the clock, still very much worth your visit with a take I really agree with.:

I believe something unexpected is going to happen between now and then which will delay our exit (to the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb) and the commiserate demise of the world: a final worldwide incoming of souls to Jesus as God mercifully brings in as many as will come before that great and terrible day of his wrath, as prophesied in Luke 14:23.
