British Christians Feel Oppressed In The Public Square by auwal87(m): 11:28am On Feb 26, 2009 |
Note: Don't think on what is happening, but WHERE this is happening. |

You miss the point. It's not "where" it is happening because it is actually occuring all over the Christian West. The questions you should be asking are "why" it is happening and what will be the outcome. The answer to why is that Western governments fall over themselves not to offend their Islamic communities; often to the detriment of their own indigienous population. In a way this is understandable as the tiniest perceived slight against Islam is met by outrage or violence by those Muslims in our communities and then translated to the Islamic world as a whole and giving fuel to fundamentalism. By giving Islam what it wants, Western governments are hoping they can keep a lid on it's excesses. But the problem is that they are just creating excesses within their own populations. The outcome is that there is now a big sceptic pimple of hatred boiling away and aimed at Islam from those populations in the West who are believe that all they are seeing is Islam ride rough shod over their own personal liberties. The article doesn't make for happy reading for any religion. |

@Bastage I dont think Auwal has said anything wrong by asking where it is happening. Neither is there a difference between "christian west" you talked about and what he asked. The comment "you miss the point" i think is uneccessary. |

christianity in the UK is now a joke. I watched one of the big News channels (can't remember which) during the Obama Innauguration. As he ended his speech he like most americans said 'God Bless America'. 2 of the commentators and other political analysts in the studio thought it was wrong to say such. They almost made that statement the subject for discussion. I think it is absurd that the UK built with/on christian values has opened its legs wide enough for the 'political correctness (pc)' train to go through her. |
