Priest hurt in faith-hate attack
BBC ^

Posted on 03/15/2008 2:28:05 AM PDT by Axlrose

A priest has been attacked in the grounds of his church, in what police described as a "faith-hate" crime. Canon Michael Ainsworth, 57, was injured by two Asian youths at the church, in Tower Hamlets, east London.

Canon Ainsworth said a third youth watched as he suffered cuts, bruises and black eyes in the assault at the church of St George-in-the-East.

The youths also jeered at the priest for being a churchman in the attack on Wednesday night, the Met Police said.

An appeal for witnesses has been made

This shocking incident is becoming frequent as the Muslims consolidate their hold on Britain. Thousands of Christians are fleeing the country.

Yet as we see the country slide in to chaos our government is handing over our most sensitve military secrets ! Even nuclear weapons and ICBM's !!! Madness.

St. George-in-the-East survived a Nazi bomb in 1941. We shall hope it also survives the rise of "Asian youth," or if you have half a spine and are half-way honest, Muslims.

How is it going to survive when its congregation has run away ?

This isn’t 1941. That Britain has emigrated.

Britain is a concept wholly under attack at the moment.

“...two Asian youths...”

Pakistani MUSLIMS? Probably!

“Asians”
code word for practitioners of the Religion of Peace.
I’m surprised they used the word hate. In the USA this would have NEVER been called a hate crime, because hate crime laws were created for the express purpose of jailing Whites.

I would make a suggestion that our “asian” friends be given a one way ticket to HMP Maghaberry in Northern Ireland after the prison population has been informed about what they so proudly did in the name of the “religion of peace.”

They won’t even be arrested. The London police is so badly infiltrated that Muslim police are refusing to shake the hand of the police chief during parade, because its against Islam. He did nothing about it, another small surrender.

“injured by two Asian youths”

What is this Asian crap they were Muslims. How come the news media will not tell the truth?

Calling muslim fanatics ‘asians’ is demeaning to asians.

In England "Asians" = Indians and Pakis, "Orientals" = Chinese, Japanese, etc.

This is sickening to read about...Are Christians really leaving Britain in large numbers? Where are they going?

Because of the large influx of Polish Catholics, the net total of practising Christians in Britain is increasing, if anything (priests are having to be brought in from Poland to cope with the demand). Don’t read too much into the headline figures about immigration and emigration here - it’s a far more complex picture than often portrayed. For instance, a large proportion of Britons moving abroad, especially those who buy houses in France and Spain, return after a few years. And many immigrants from the Indian sub-continent are neither Muslim nor Christian but Hindus and Sikhs - both of which know a thing or two about dealing with vociferous Muslim minorities.

Poles secured automatic right of entry, as EU citizens, when Poland joined the EU a few years back. The reasons for the influx are entirely economic - higher wages, and a great demand for both skilled and unskilled labour of the kind the Poles were willing and able to supply. There are already some signs of the numbers easing as the Polish economy develops and the zloty increases in value against the pound.

Not quite - ‘Asian’ has long been the standard term in Britain for people originating from the Indian subcontinent. It thus includes Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists etc as well as Muslims.

The Poles are going back home as the UK economy slows down.

Meanwhile emigration of UK nationals is at record levels.

So many Britons are leaving its effecting the pre owned auto market. They are selling their vehicles as they leave and the glut of pre owned premium brand vehicles is bringing the prices down.

Meanwhile because of a long standing arrangment UK nationals need not apply for a visa to enter the US. They are just waved through customs after filling in a short form on the flight itself. These UK nationals are increasingly of jihadi stock. Would we allow Pakistani nationals to just walk into the country ?
