"The Muslim Council of Wales, an affiliate of Muslim Council Britain, is an accord of mosques, Muslim associations and institutions in Wales. It shall be informed and guided by the Sunnah in all its aims, policies and procedures".
From Wales Online: "Archbishop of Canterbury to address historic event in Wales at invitation of Muslim leaders. Justin Welby, will be joined by the archbishops of Wales, Scotland and Ireland in what is hoped to be a signal of interfaith cohesion...Muslim community leaders said they hoped the interfaith event at Cardiff City Hall, which coincides with the primates' visit, will send a message across Wales, the UK and internationally that inter-faith relations in Britain are strong, despite global tensions such as IS atrocities and the refugee crisis."
There is the whiff of Chamberlain's 'Peace for our time' about this gathering. The Muslim Council of Wales "shall be informed and guided by the Sunnah in all its aims, policies and procedures". That means no deviation from the Sunnah and the Koran, the spread of Islam by any means.
While religious leaders are engaged in conversation in Christian countries, Christianity is being crushed in Muslim countries. It is no coincidence that the main religion is Islam in the top 50 countries on the World Watch List of Christian persecution. This is explained by Dr. Peter Hammond in his book: "Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat". In Dr Hammond's list the United Kingdom is shown with a Muslim population of 2.7%. (At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.)
By 2011 the Muslim population population in England and Wales rose to 5%. (From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply) leading to "Which restaurant chains have gone halal – and why?"
Christian Voice considers halal products from a biblical perspective, something that Archbishop Welby should reflect on as he prepares his speech. The Bible is clear: Jesus said "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." He also warned about false prophets: "They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. You will know them by their fruits".
Religious choice is not an option for Muslims. The number of Muslims in England and Wales grew by 80% to 2.7 million between the 2001 and 2011 censuses but there is a belief among some of Britain's Muslims that "leaving Islam is a sin and can even be punished by death". An investigation for the BBC has found evidence of young people suffering threats, intimidation, being ostracised by their communities and, in some cases, encountering serious physical abuse when they told their families they were no longer Muslims. Check "which countries still outlaw apostasy and blasphemy" here.
In Muslim countries non-Muslims face death or are forced to pay a poll tax, the Jizya, if they refuse to convert to Islam despite there being "no compulsion in religion", a verse abrogated in the Koran. There is no evidence that the young able-bodied Muslims migrating to Europe have any desire to cast off the yoke of oppression. Indeed Saudi Arabia has pledged to build 200 mosques in Germany to accommodate the spread of Islam.
If Justin Welby wants to make a positive contribution to interfaith relations he should start by encouraging Muslims to show their solidarity with Christians by refusing to build any more mosques while Christians are being massacred and their churches destroyed.
Fat chance! Read on.
Postscript [30.09.2015]
According to a new nationwide online survey of 600 Muslims living in the United States, significant minorities embrace supremacist notions that could pose a threat to America’s security and its constitutional form of government.
The numbers of potential jihadists among the majority of Muslims who appear not to be sympathetic to such notions raise a number of public policy choices that warrant careful consideration and urgent debate, including: the necessity for enhanced surveillance of Muslim communities; refugee resettlement, asylum and other immigration programs that are swelling their numbers and density; and the viability of so-called “countering violent extremism” initiatives that are supposed to stymie radicalization within those communities.
Full details here.
Islamic State is a Muslim organisation of which we have failed to accept the abject evil.
ReplyDeleteWhat should be unquestionably desired and sought by these Christian Primates is a public and emphatic rejection of the repulsive aims of IS.
By reason of the constitution of Islam there is no prospect of change on the part of
IS : the only way they see to change things is by genocide.
IS has no desire for peace.They are not open to reason .
Therefore the Primates should make it clear that we cannot embark on any inter-faith relations unless and until the Muslim leaders clearly and directly condemn IS and repudiate and disown IS. But will they?
No - next question
DeleteSo is the City Hall a masulla or a masjid? In other words is it a prayer room or a mosque?
ReplyDeleteA masulla becomes a masjid at the Last Day!
I understand that a place becomes a mosque permanently once Muslim prayers are said there - for example, Leicester Cathedral, after the Muslim involvement in Richard III's burial. (Haven't heard of the other two, masulla and masjid.
DeleteSorry : it is 'musalla' ( not masulla). Dyslexia reigns!
ReplyDeleteWhy is the West rushing to sign its own death warrant? Islam's intentions are perfectly clear - the obliteration of all traces of Christianity and Judaism and the imposition of its barbaric sharia law.
ReplyDeleteMost sadly, what you say, 'The Gates of Vienna', is so true.
ReplyDeleteIt almost seems that there is a lack of understanding of what Christianity means?
Christ was crucified "once and for all".
We are not called to offer up ourselves and Christianity for annihilation.
Christianity is not synonymous with altruism ,in tolerating the entire belief and behaviour of the false prophets.
