Concerns Migrants Are Faking Religious Conversions at Liverpool Cathedral to Help Asylum Claims
The Daily Telegraph via Yahoo News ^ | 11/16/21 | Martin Evans

Concerns have been raised over the role Liverpool Cathedral has played in helping asylum seekers convert to Christianity in order to help their applications.

Hundreds of Muslims - including suicide bomber Emad Al Swealmeen - have been welcomed into the Church of England in recent years after completing a short five-week course at the city’s Anglican cathedral.

But critics have questioned how many of those converting have done so in order to help their asylum applications with the Home Office.

If an applicant can show they are a committed Christian it could help their claim to stay in the UK because their faith might mean they are more at risk if forced to return to their home country.

Converting to Christianity is also evidence of the applicant's success in integrating into Western society.

“I saved you,” cried that woman
“And you’ve bit me even, why?
And you know your bite is poisonous and now I’m gonna die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you brought me in

In 1492 the Moslems pretended to convert in order to stay in Spain...

Blacks in prison in the US convert to Islam more than any other faith, I heard at one time. Still true?

Maybe some are faking it, but there has been quite a success of converting Muslims. Not really published, and if mentioned, it has been mentioned as a fake!
Not really. A lot of Muslims who do NOT agree with current fundamentalist takeover of their faith are truly converting.
As a matter of fact Muslim leaders are quite concerned about loosing so much people.
Historically, the missions among Muslims were the hardest. Lately that is changing, but if you listen to the media, you would never hear about it.

“...completing a short five-week course...”

Yes, because salvation cometh by knowledge; having the right answers to specific questions.

The fact that any western country still considers religion in their asylum requests gives me home.

The fact that converting from Islam to Christianity is viewed favorably instead of vice versa also gives me hope.

John Derbyshire used to write a column for National Review but was fired for writing something politically incorrect.

He once told someone that he was a "fallen away" member of the Church of England. The other person told him that was like falling out of a first-story window.

LOL!

Well, you know Western Christianity had — still has — this tendency to so much want people to be “in” that in too many places if you just knew enough Bible to say “Uh-huh” in response to a few key questions you were “saved.”

Bottom line is it’s not only CoE, but lots of others have the same disease, where salvation is too often an academic matter.
