Why the reading of the Qu'ranic verses at Epiphany Service in Glasgow is blasphemous.




 
The Provost of St Mary's Cathedral in Glasgow thought it was a good idea, in the name of “diversity” and “inter-faith” relations to have a Muslim girl read a passage of the Quran (Suna 19) at the service marking the feast of the Epiphany.   That is all well and good and the intentions could be considered worthy until it was discovered what the translation of the Quranic verses meant.

Suna 19 refers to the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary, it then goes on to denounce Jesus as the Son of God, that Jesus should not be worshipped and re-iterating later on in the text that God has no son.

This was not only preached in a Christian church whose belief system is in the Holy Trinity (God the Father, his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost) but at a service worshipping the Feast of Epiphany, marking the arrival of the three Magi to the birthplace of Jesus Christ.    At this juncture, it is worth pointing out that although the three Magi would have been of Arabic or North African appearance, they would NOT have been adherents to the Islamic faith, which did not come into being until 1400 years after the event (they were, as historians commonly agree, Zoroastrians)

Some people (thousands apparently) were offended by this abuse of Christian hospitality, and rightly so in my opinion.   Millions of Christians around the world are being persecuted because of their faith, predominantly in Middle Eastern countries where Islam is the majority religion, but equally in Europe, indeed the attack on a Christmas market in Berlin, Germany was perpetrated towards Christians and their celebrations.    It is diabolical that a Christian church would even entertain a reading as blasphemous as this, to be preached on consecrated grounds, let alone at one of the most important services of the Christian calendar.   Inclusiveness is all well and good when it is reciprocal.

At this point, the standard SJW retort would be something along the lines of “Islamophobia, racism, bigot and/or xenophobia.    Equally the epithet of “misogyny “may also be thrown into the mix, this only has power when levied at a man (particularly the white, cis gender, privileged kind).    In this instance, as I am a woman, there would be no grounds for this accusation, but given that none of the other vacuous labels used by Leftist Progressives have any credence to them, why let a little thing like definitive meaning get in the way?!    Then, the libtard's final “coup de grâce” “But, but – DIVERSITY!”

My studied response to this would be as follows:

1. Diversity – means diverse opinions as well as cultures, ergo mine is as valid an opinion as yours.

2. Has the local Glaswegian mosque ever allowed a Christian representative into a mosque to read during Friday prayers?   Because - you know – DIVERSITY!

3. No Imam on the face of this planet would allow a Christian into his mosque let alone give him a platform, or pulpit, to preach that Mohammed was a paedophilic, murdering, anti-Semitic loony, and therefore shouldn't be worshipped.

4. Tell me how many Christian churches are there in Saudi Arabia, the home of Mecca? 

5. How can a book written 1,400 years after the birth of Christ even manage to disprove the holiness of Jesus?   Yet no-one in Islam, let alone from the world of the infidel, is allowed to question the Qu'ran, the Hadiths, the Sura or the Sunnah and their contents?   People have been blown up, shot, beheaded and stoned to death for trying to do so.

6. The previous point will throw up the “Islamophobe” accusation to which my reply would be the following; “No.  A phobia is an irrational fear of something.   My fear of Islam is very real, is based on fact and therefore it cannot be called a phobia.”

7. By this time your average snowflake will be getting very patronising and will be one rational, fact based response (on my part) away from being triggered, and they will come in with their, one size fits all, “big one”; RACIST!!!

8. Now a hair's breadth away from being “triggered” they'd look at you with their “Gotcha!” patronising face and taunting smile.    Whereupon I'd deliver my final blow... 

9. “Islam is a religion (it's more of a theology or cult but that's semantics) therefore any statement I make regarding it and its adherents is NOT and CANNOT be racist, furthermore” I would add “one cannot change the meaning of words to suit your own narrative and your verbal ad hominem attacks are puerile and lack any form of debate.   Now shuffle off to your little safe space and ruminate on that one!”

Boom!!!   Progressives 0 – Free thinking citizens 1

Demographic suicide of Europe - Can it be reversed?

There is no doubt, to any rational, critical thinking person in the Western world, that Europe is going through as big a crisis as those of WW1 and WW2.   Unfortunately, the crisis we currently find ourselves in has been created or at least abetted by our own political leaders. There has been much talk of the Frankfurt School and the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan, cultural marxism and the creep of Islamism within the West and Europe specifically. We are told that we need to import immigrants from the third world countries in order to fill the demographic hole created by Europeans not breeding sufficiently.   The Coudenhove-Kalergi plan openly advocates the destruction of the European race, or at the very least its dilution.   So for decades, various countries have made it fiscally less and less desirable to procreate.   The married person's tax allowance was removed from UK citizens way back in the nineties, child benefit, in countries where it is paid, has...

Lord Taverne slams the will of the people.

Last night (13 March 2017) the House of Commons voted on the Bill to trigger Article 50 of the Lis bon Trea ty .   This Bill allows the government of the UK to set in motion the process of separation from the European Union, nine months after the people of the UK voted, via a referendum, to leave. Despite the best efforts of Gina Miller (a Soros stooge) and a cabal of self-interested parties to block the UK government from trying to exit without parliamentary approval; a move that was upheld by several self-interested High Court and Supreme Court Judges were proven fruitless.   In compliance with the court directive, the UK government tabled a Bill laying out the specifics of exiting the EU.   Passed by the House of Commons, it went up to the House of Lords, who rejected the Bill and returned it to the elected House with amendments.   The amendments were overturned by the elected House of Commons and it has since passed in the House of...

Pot and Kettle!!!

It never fails to amaze me that some people in positions of power have the nerve to judge countries when their own home nation is not known for banging the same drum..... The UN Human Rights Chief, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein from Saudi Arabia, has drawn the world's attention to the horrendous behaviour of the Turkish Authorities.    He, quite correctly, has stated that the shooting at unarmed people protesting in Cizre, Turkey, was against their fundamental rights.   This throws up two issues for me; Saudi Arabia has an appalling human rights record and the fact that a Saudi citizen is the head of the UN Human Rights is laughable.    Does he criticise Saudi Arabia or are they off limits? Everyone has known about the flexible way that Turkey deals with the issue of human rights, but they have been assured that the EU will look again at their application to join....surely this should be the nail in the coffin of their ambition to join?   ...
