As the influence of Islam on European society has increased, so have anti-Christian attitudes. While civil authorities have gone out of their way to accommodate both Muslim immigrants and Muslim beliefs, their treatment of Christians has been quite different. One form that the accommodation of Islam has taken is an increased policing of Christian activities and beliefs.
For many decades we’ve heard that Christianity in Europe is in “decline.” But recently the decline seems to have accelerated. Hostility to Christianity is now so widespread that it’s no exaggeration to speak of a war on Christians. In fact, “Britain’s War on Christianity,” happens to be the title of a recent 14-page article by Soeren Kern of the Gatestone Institute.
In his detailed report, the first of a three-part series, Kern describes numerous incidents of Christian street preachers who were arrested for disturbing the peace. Tellingly, the police most commonly cited them either for Islamophobic hate speech or for homophobic hate speech.
When, after one such arrest, London’s Muslim mayor was pressed as to whether Christians could openly read from the Bible without fear of arrest, Sadiq Khan replied, “There’s not an unlimited right to freedom of expression or free speech.” Meanwhile, it was revealed that the Home Office had in 2016 rejected a request for asylum from an Iranian convert to Christianity on the grounds that Christianity is not a religion of peace. After quoting violent texts from the Bible, the rejection letter stated: “These examples are inconsistent with your claim that you converted to Christianity after discovering it is a ‘peaceful’ religion…”
There are secularitst who’ve never given up on dechristianization and who apparently see Islam as a way to further that.
The fools do not comprehend that they wil, be the ones getting beheaded or thrown off of roofs.
Bkmrk.
The UK, Sweden, and France are already bowing down in submission to their new muzzy masters.
“The fools do not comprehend that they wil, be the ones getting beheaded or thrown off of roofs.”
I won’t say that I wish or hope for such an outcome, but it certainly would be well-deserved...
This 600+-page history traces the ideas which gave birth to the American founding. Throughout, Richard Frothingham, the historian, develops the idea that it is "the Christian idea of man" which allowed the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to become a reality--an idea which recognizes the individual and the Source of his/her "Creator"-endowed life, liberty and law.
Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called "progressives," do not promote such authentic histories of America? Their philosophy puts something called "the state," or "global interests" as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play.
In other words, they must turn the Founders' ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals and power for themselves.
Europe’s war on Christianity is Satan’s war on Christianity.
End of story.
Every day brings more proof of fascist Britain.
The Islamic mobs get offended and will be violent. The authorities, seemingly only subconsciously, know this so the easiest thing to do is to shut up those making the “offense”...which is anything non-Islamic. They’ve convinced themselves this is “good” because it “keeps the peace”. Fools, only for so long.
Islam is entrenched into the structure of these countries. Good luck getting them out.
I’ve started saying that “Islamophobia” is just a political word to shut down discussion, it isn’t real because there’s no “phobia”, only “toxic Islam” - it is toxic to individual liberty.
Europe threw out Christianity long ago. Now that the Muzzies have taken over, they certainly will run those 8 or 10 old, I mean 85 year old women, out of their dying Churches. The American Church is not far behind. The numbers are really dropping as most think you can get into heaven by most any means. But, I have news for you all that do not believe, Jesus Christ was a real person. He was really God. He is the 2d person of the Godhead. He is the Son of God. He is the Creator God of EVERYTHING!!! That means you! He is the Savior of the world. When He says that He IS the Way the Truth and the Life, He MEANS it!!! You will ONLY get into Heaven THROUGH Him. No other way. You can believe whatever you want to believe, but if you do not believe in Him, you are DOOMED!!! Sorry, if you don’t believe that, do so at your own peril. Because that is the way it is. So, your chances of believing are drawing shorter and shorter. You must believe while you are alive. There IS NO Catholic purgatory. No one can pay your way into heaven after you die. You have to make the choice while you are alive. If you don’t, sorry, it is too late. The Scriptures makes this perfectly clear. So, believe in him while you still have the chance. No one is promised tomorrow. In fact, no one is promised the next minute. You could die in the next minute, hour, day, etc. You don’t know when your time will run out. Make the choice today, won’t you??? Give eternity in Heaven a chance. It is much, much better than that eternity in the Lake of Fire. Believe in Him.
Jesus said in Matthew that we’d be persecuted in ALL nations for name’s sake. Persecution is the normal Christian life, not peace. This brief period of peace is out of the ordinary. The apostles gave thanks for being counted worthy to suffer for Christ. We should respond in kind.
Europe - It was nice knowing you.
The Divine Right of Kings was a decree by the religious leaders that they served God as ruled by favor of God over the surfs. Europe was a caste system or caste system and evolved from fiefdoms to city states to nation states. Finance of nations made royal families bystanders in National Rule. Now that they have no need for God....
The French Revolution paved the way.
