If racism is the unjust and biased treatment of a minority primarily
based on race, there is more than a tinge of racism not only in Oliver
Letwin's deracinated, crass and overgeneralised comments in 1985,
but also in contemporary
howls
of protest against them.
Why should any part of society be spared the just and holy exposure of
its moral defects and degeneracy, whatever the skin colour? Do we not
all need at times reproof?
To pretend that sometimes whites, and sometimes blacks, and
sometimes other races do not excel in certain types of sins,
and to stifle prophetic censure, if the statistics and crime figures
prove otherwise, is itself a product of racial prejudice of
another kind, shows a severe lack of compassion (Lev.19.17),
infantilises and dehumanises the community it seeks to 'protect' and
the crowning depravity which actuates and directs this prejudice is a
thoroughly shameful deficit of trust in God's wonderful and active
power to transform each race into the portraits of His image in
Messiah.
Jonah reproved and won the Ninevites, Jeremiah the Gentile nations,
and
Paul the Cretans, at the same time, in each case as reserving the
strongest reproofs of all for their own kin. If Letwin had beem
motivated by more compassion and less ambition, his words would have
been better honed to diagnose and direct the healing of the maladies
he
saw, as it is these same maladies abound today in more UK
communities, and the canker of drugs, vice and debauched revelling has
spread far and wide, and all 'the people love it
so'.

'Trojan horse' - forcing sodomy, other extreme
sexual perversities and unscientific humanist
creation myths on
all home schoolers
under the guise of tackling radical Islam and imposing a sterile
educational homogeneity of
deracinated and ahistorical 'British values', which are neither
British
nor values. By all means tackle radical Islam, but let good
education be judged by its results, some our best thinkers and
reformers were home schooled and tutored.
Ofsted gets rough on informal home school associations and invokes the
law against them. We do not advocate breaking the law, but some
Christian and Jewish home schoolers pool resources and informally
share
expertise in joint day sessions and these too may now be targetted by
overzealous inspectors of the kind we have already seen interrogating
children about their expertise in lesbianism and other perverse
agendas.Ofsted
is
also consulting about dubious plans which may
impact other non school Christian groups for children, Sunday
Schools
and perhaps youth gatherings - all eerily familiar from pre-Glasnost
Soviet days for the unregistered Baptists. Is that really the
direction
Jacky Morgan wants us to take?
'Islam does not allow and does not have any place for any violence
and
terrorism.' Leytonstone's Imam Imran Patel.
When did Imam Patel last read the Qur'an
and
the Sunna, does he really think the British public are this
gullible?
Shiites of course are of a different persuasion, 'The
purest joy in Islam is to kill and be killed for God',
Ayotollah Khomenei.
Oxygen
in
comets - another nail in the coffin for deep time
evolutionary myths about origins.
'It is tricky to adjust models of the early Solar System to
allow for the survival of gaseous O2' Nature's studious
understatement. However the consequent theoretical gymnastics will no
doubt impress. Comets
have
long been a problem for old
agers.
Occupation? Settlements? From the River to the Sea. As far as the
Palestinians are concerned Jerusalem and Tel Aviv are illegal
settlements. UNRWA is doing more much more harm than good.
The other side of the coin, the forgotten refugees, over one million,
some living in their lands for over 2,500 years.
'I
cannot understand how trying to kill a 70 year old woman, or a 13
year
old boy, or a religious couple coming home from praying is heroism
worthy of praise. In my mind, no violence is worthy of praise,
especially against civilians. No, they are not heroes and they are
not
shuhada. It is time to stop dying for Palestine and instead to live
for
Palestine. Someone who praises this is not a good leader of his
people.
I thought you were better than that' Gershon

This is Fatah's own page (the
AlAqsa
Martyr's brigade, h/t EoZ, archived),
this
is what not only Abbas, but also the EU, UK and US
are funding.
Is Turkey complicit in the attacks on the HDP peace march?
Deep state involvement in the
Malatya martyrs case has long been suspected and evidenced.
The opposition leaders thinks so, and the Turkish police in the
capital
were visibly hostile to the crowds within
seconds of the bombing - blocking ambulances and firing tear gas.
What would Mohammed do?
Some of his followers in IS are convinced they can justify these
recent
barbarities by emulation of the Hadith.
David Cameron and Theresa May's Christian 'extremists'?
British heroes and architects of our greatness - both would regard gay
'marriage' and homosexuality as abominations and fit for
criminalisation.
John Bunyan

Baptist Preacher and Author
One of the group of evangelical social reformers called the Clapham
Sect
But perhaps these are Cameron's and May's true 'British values'?
Does anyone with eyes to see now doubt that Abbas and the official
agencies that support him (including foreign governments) are actively
seeking trouble? A
Palestinian commentator who nails him.
Abbas
and his supporters are no friend of good Palestinian aspirations.
Graft
also
remains endemic.
'The UN fanning flames that the PA has been fuelling' so says
Israel's Foreign minister and the
ADL of the moral equivalence of the UN
Security
Council's statement on the Temple Mount
disturbances, which were entirely incited by and initiated by
Palestinians, despite strenuous Israeli efforts to defuse the
situation.
Abbas with atypical Presidential gravitas describes the 'filthy
feet' of Jews defiling the Sanctuary.
The USA has imprisoned the
First
Amendment.
'With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou
wilt shew thyself froward.'
(The verb 'shew oneself froward' comes from the word for tying
in
knots)
