When you live a life of sin all that religious stuff gets scary.

Usually it doesn’t I guess because of the deaths of those three black watch soldiers being killed south of Falluja.

They were there at the request of the American military as support to the main assaults.

Usually these threads can be fun, but it seems obscene to be involved in a flame war when our lads will be taking part in an assault which God Forbid may involve heavy casualties.

I guess because I am no longer involved I feel restless.

They all seem so young now.

Prayers for all our lads.

Tony

Big difference between God and institutionalized religion, tj.

Hence, the leaving cry: No bishop, no king. No King but King Jesus.

Having said that, I pray for a revival in the UK. It must start with a individual acknowledgment of the truth of His Word, over the truth of the state church.

the Jewish community would have no objection to the school being named after a Christian saint. "We live in a multi-cultural country,"

To think a group would recognize Christianity as being a legitimate culture! What is the world coming to? Someday the Brits will discover what we already know -- that we need GOD MORE not less in this post-post modern millenial technological world.

Well in my part of the UK (In others it may differ) a Greebo is one of those grungy hippy Nirvana loving types. The ones who insist on having dreadlocks and never washing them!

And stop being over-sensitive nancy boys - take a breath. This article isn't about the long-standing Brit/Yank alliance and allegiance. No one is questioning that here.

Tony - I just stumbled onto this thread and am reading these strange comments. I *think* they're pulling your leg. Or maybe it's a lot of testosterone built up from the recent election.In any case don't take it seriously.

From the Hindustan Times via Dhimmi Watch. The same site says "Muslims in Great Britain are asking for greater representation in the House of Lords." I wonder how large the Moslem population is in Islington.

More people in Britain attend mosques than the Church of England. It is for the first time that Muslims have overtaken Anglicans. According to figures 930,000 Muslims attend a place of worship at least once a week, whereas only 916,000 Anglicans do the same. Muslim leaders are now claiming that, given such a rise of Islam in Britain, Muslims should receive a share of the privileged status of the Church of England.

Parents, governors and teachers at St Mary Magdalene, however, are determined to keep the name.

I'm on their side!.

A population of 2% does not a Muslim threat make as for the ..........


Your 2% Muhammadans are influential way beyond their numbers with London playing host to many crazy international Muslim organizations. Many that are Jihadist. They have bases in London or coordinating offices there. For Muslims, London is their playground where they can feel comfy, right at home. And your welfare checks (cheques) and subsidized welfare housing that subsidize their large families are greatly appreciated I'm sure.

Prayers for all.

There are a lot of good people here in California, but we see lots of negative sweeping statements too.

"From the nation of chinless people with bad teeth."

This from the country of obese people with small brains.

Well...that's what are told Americans are like isn't it?

Must be true, after all, we are all chinless wonders with bad teeth aren't we?

Maybe they should change it to "Muhammad's Hareem School"
or "Breath of Allah" school.

The Eruoweenies don't get it. They are under attack and not fighting back.

Good gracious!
Well, the boss so referred to by the Brit was anything but THAT! He was a middle aged dour Midwestern American who looked very much like the Vice-President Cheney. No dreadlocks. Though the image of Dick Cheney in dreadlocks is an interesting one.

I apologize for the few insensitive remarks. Sometimes its easy to assume that all of Europe hates us. There is some anger here by the headlines from your national papers - like calling us "dumb" for re-electing a president that is exactly what we need at this time in the cultural and terror wars going on simultaneously in this Country. We will support you as much as you support us. As you can tell by the election results in the US, our voices have been heard and so will yours.
