Christian preacher arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin
2010-05-03
The war on Christianity by seculars in the West is getting overt and ugly.

#12  While UK Judges might rule now that Christians are not a protected group, just take heart. When Britain is finally overwhelmed by the Moose-Limbs, Christians will finally have a compelling argument that they are, indeed, a protected group due to their rather small numbers.

Wait... but when that occurs, I doubt that the Moose-Limbs will be stupid enough to grant said protected status to Christians infidels. Instead, they will be "converted" or turned into a Pez dispenser.

#11  I don't think so Jim.
A judge in England just ruled that christians are not a 'protected group'.

Translation: They cannot be victims of hate speech or any other hate legislation, they can only be perps.

Same as sexual harassment laws in the US. Only members of a 'protected group' can be victims.

#10  If he's prosecuted, they'll HAVE to prosecute Muslims as well, So It'll be quietly dropped now that the scare headlines are printed.

Remember Lies have winged feet, truth walks slowly.
The Scare is done. now the truth will be buried.

#9  You all missed the most salient fact

Since Hussein Soetoro is obviously an homosexual,
that teacher was perceived as threatening
the presidency.

#8  England is sounding more and more Orwellian it also mimics the Communist China of the 1980's

#7  Methinks if the imams aren't also being arrested, then the preacher has a pretty good case for unlawful bias and discriminatory treatment.

#6  Its safer to criticize the non-violent.

#5  The most fundamental Christian will say that homosexual acts are a sin, that homosexuals should be shunned and that God will punish the sinner.

The average fundamentalist Moslem will say that homosexual acts should be punished by execution.

Note which one the authorities came down on.

#4  ....not to mention that our 'Goths' have been crossing our 'Rhine' in uncontrolled numbers for way too long as well.

#3  A society where greed, gluttonous, and lasciviousness have become the norm. All pointing to a time as author Peter Brown writes in 'A recent Guide Late Antiquity' that "Words like 'decline' and 'crisis', which suggest problems at the end of the empire and which were quite usual into the 1970s, have largely disappeard from historians' vocabularies, to be replaced by neutral terms, like 'transition', 'change', and 'transformation'." Believing our own lie. We say it is not, therefore it is not.

Rome 400 A.D. is us.

#2  This is only going to get worse. Bigotry against all but the most exsanguinated and emasculated forms of Christianity has reached a critical mass in education, media, and government in most Western countries and is rapidly approaching that level in the U.S. Things like this arrest are only the beginning. Expect to see this behavior spread to other countries and become more prevalent.

I've been saying that this would happen for years here at Rantburg and on other sites, and been called paranoid and worse. At last, an object example of the principle exists which cannot be denied.

#1  Looks like the left doesn't have any substantial and related arguments against the preacher. So they resort to changing other people's behavior through force.

I guess they never heard of The Inquisition.

Not talking it through will only make the problem explode in the long run.
