ICLA has written
about how Muslims who want to frighten Christians in places like
Pakistan merely have to accuse them of blasphemy in order to turn their
lives upside down. Increasingly it seems that this kind of mentality is
beginning to thrive in places like the United Kingdom.
A recent report by CBN tells the story of a Christian worker at
Heathrow airport who appears to have been sacked because she stood up
for her Christian religious beliefs in response to harassment by
Islamists. As in OIC countries like Pakistan, it seems that the views
and opinions of Islamists trump those of other religions in the UK. It
always seems to be the non-Muslims who have to give ground, bite their
lips, and put themselves second. The CBN report can be found below (and
HERE):
For some time now, the UK has been experiencing an atmosphere of fear
when it comes to discussing Islam. The hysteria has been stoked up by
oil rich Islamic nations keen to expand the influence and power of Islam
in the West. Servile Western politicians seem happy to aid and abet
such nations in their goal to increase the power and influence of Islam.
Only a few years ago UK citizens could go through life without being
adversely affected by religious dogma. Now that dogma is everywhere and
everyone is aware of it. In the home of freedom of speech people are
now aware that speaking their minds can ruin their lives.
The UK’s old rarely used blasphemy laws may have been repealed but new more extreme heresy laws have taken their place. The Racial and Religious Hatred Act of 2006
has had a chilling effect on freedom of expression and on freedom in
general. It must be remembered that the right to freedom of expression
has been a far more potent protect of freedom of religion that any Act
of Parliament could ever hope to achieve. The point of getting rid of
the old blasphemy laws was that they restricted freedom of expression
and they could be used as tools of religious persecution. A situation
has been created in the UK where even whispering the word Islam is not
attempted lest someone becomes offended!
There is a great deal of handwringing about how ‘Islamophobia’ is on
the rise in Western countries. Nothing is said about how people are
oppressed by Islamic regimes for not being Muslim. Little is said about
non-Muslims who feel that they are being treated like second class
citizens in the West, other than that such people are somehow racist.
It seems that the term ‘Islamophobia’ was invented as a way to prevent
non-Muslims from being listened to when they experience abuse at the
hands of Islamists.
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is doing its best to
institute a global blasphemy law and to make criticism of Islam
illegal. It is a key advocate for UNHRC resolution 16/18 which purports
to protect religious freedom. However, there is a tendency in OIC
countries for religious freedom to mean that Islam is promoted and other
religions are harassed. It seems quite clear that Christians for one
are not those who are being protected by UNHRC 16/18.
If an airport
worker can lose her job because she is not Muslim or she does not show
Islam the respect that its proponents believe that it deserves then she
is not being judged by the rule of law – she is being judged by sharia
law.
The case of the airport worker suggests that sharia law is now
thriving in the UK. Non-Muslims are being persecuted, demonised, and
discriminated against just like they are in many member states of the
OIC. Like in Muslim majority countries non-Muslims in the UK are being
picked on and their lack of Islamic faith is being used against them.
This situation has been facilitated by successive British governments
whose obsession with political correctness has meant that rights and
freedoms built up over the centuries have now been lost. As a result
Islamism is now out of control in the UK and there is hardly anyone who
is prepared to raise even a whisper in opposition!
