I do not write this piece to attack adherents of Islam but rather to expose double standards. We are a gentle nation; one of compromise, understanding and fundamental tolerance.
I ask whether that same tolerance is displayed towards Christian minorities in Muslim run countries such as: Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Algeria,the Sudan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Syria, Egypt, Jordan and many more?
- The answer is clearly in the negative. So what I am asking is whether we are able to accept that "Islam is a tolerant religion" when the evidence of our eyes, even in this country, leads us to an opposite conclusion?
It is Islam which is courted, largely by the political left, and yet it is out of uncompromising Islam that so many of our nation's problems come. Do we have any similar problems with Sikhism or Judaism or Hindus?
Our political masters -[in a real democracy, politicians do the will of the people] - determined over a half century that we should import workers. They have learned precisely nothing from their previous stupidity and the same arguments are being recycled and used again.
Ours is not a "multi-cultural" nation but merely one which has become dangerously fragmented by politicians who were blind to the consequences of their pseudo-liberalism.
Had they recognised that they were wrong, we could have said ." "Ah, well. Water under the bridge. Let us move on."
Unless VERY specifically called by God to a mission field abroad, I do not want to hear of missionaries leaving the very abundant mission field which is now England. A new Wesley is needed and desperately overdue.
