A nativity scene in Ilford has been “destroyed by idiots”.The British Pakistani Christian Association (BCPA) paid for and installed the statues to remind people in the High Road of the real meaning of Christmas.
Yet, in an attack on Christianity, the Virgin Mary and Joseph have been smashed and the infant Jesus was decapitated.
A local non-religious resident told the Ilford Recorder the incident was “religious desecration”. She said: “It is three days before Christmas and this happens”.
Further saying, “Any other religion and there would be an outcry and it would have been fixed already. “It is a desecration of a religious icon – I am disgusted.” She explained that she had reported it to Redbridge Town Hall but as it was not their nativity, and they were on their way to lunch, they couldn’t do anything about it.
The chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association, Wilson Chowdhry, was shocked someone would do something like this and that all the BPCA wanted to do was share the true meaning of Christmas amidst all of the commercialism.
“Unfortunately we will not be able to get another one in time for Christmas but we won’t be stopped by some idiots,” he said. “We will come back next year and do an even bigger one.
“Jesus himself was persecuted and killed by haters but he rose again and BPCA will replace the Nativity next year and this temporary setback will be forgotten.”

Golly. Whoever could have done such a thing. This certainly is shocking. [/s]
Move along, nothing to see.
Such hatred.
Are there a lot Amish there? Because you know how they can get frisky...
Hint: there is one religion that loves chopping heads off. That same religion hates Christianity. Know who? Right!
Open war with Islam will come.
Which nation and when still open to conjecture.
“Are there a lot Amish there? Because you know how they can get frisky...”
Really?
.
Heh, heh. It'll be interesting to see which religious group this guy is forced to apologize to for offending.
I can’t think of any current religion that relates closely with beheadings.
“destroyed by idiots”. Yes, Muslims are idiots.
“Any other religion and there would be an outcry and it would have been fixed already.”
Part and parcel of living in the UK these days.
Muslims, Wicca, and communists. The Baby Jesus has all the right enemies.
The attack is, of course, meant to instill fear into the Pakistani Christian community. In the eyes of Islam, they are apostates worthy of death and the perpetrators of the attack want the community to know it is under threat even in “safe” Britain.
A bit late though.
South of Ilford is 20% muslim.
