It is Christianity, not Islam, that is Under Attack in Britain
by John Mortimer, Union Sovereignty:
While Boris Johnson’s throwaway comment about burqas caused the predictable reaction from the usual virtue-signalling suspects, little thought has been given to the very real and institutionalised campaign against Christianity which has been underway in Britain now for several decades. As a Christian country, this ought to be of prime concern.
Outright discrimination is an important part of the story. Consider the case of Sarah Kuteh, a nurse who was sacked for offering to pray for patients, even though it was part of her job to ask pre-surgery patients about their own religion. Then there is the pro-life charity which was forbidden from hosting a stall at a council-run country show, on the grounds that its beliefs went “against council values”; an admission that the council was explicitly pro-abortion and would not tolerate any contrary opinions. Oxford University’s Balliol College banned the Christian Union from participating in its freshers’ fair, despite a range of stalls from LGBT to Islamic groups being welcomed; this outright discrimination is particularly significant at publicly-funded institutions like universities. A Catholic priest was removed from his post as chaplain at Glasgow Caledonian University for holding a rosary of “reparation for the gross offence to God which is Pride Glasgow”, despite the fact he did so at his own church and not in any sort of capacity as university chaplain. The message is clear: it is not enough to toe the equality and diversity line at work; you must conform even in your private life.
