Kuwaiti legislators call for ban on construction of churches

Funny how that keeps happening, in places far removed from one another. The common thread is Sharia's prohibition on building new churches or repairing old ones.

Christianity in Muslim lands is expected to die a slow death by strangulation and never reappear, though the plan has not always worked as human nature and common sense sometimes prevail to ignore or relax enforcement of unjust laws. But as long as those laws remain, they are a ticking time bomb that can still go off. And those time bombs are going off all over the reach of the "Arab Spring" and beyond.

But you're not supposed to notice. And if you notice, you're not supposed to say so. "Kuwaiti MPs call for ban on construction of churches," by Shane McGinley for Arabian Business, February 19:

A Kuwaiti parliamentarian is set to submit a draft law banning the construction of churches and non-Islamic places of worship in the Gulf state, it was reported at the weekend.

Kuwaiti Member of Parliament (MP) Osama Al-Munawer announced on Twitter he plans to submit a draft law calling for the removal of all churches in the country. However, he later clarified that existing churches should remain but the construction of new non-Islamic places of worship should be banned.

Fellow MP, Mohammad Hayef supported the draft law. “Kuwait already has an excessive number of churches compared to the country’s Christian minority”, he was quoted as saying by the Kuwait Times newspaper.

The country’s Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs recently granted a licence for the construction of a new church, which Hayef described as “an error”.

God works in misterious ways-the more they suppress,the more it grows (like the Iranian ,and Chinese underground churches.

"Arab spring" i.e. "Sharia spring"

Osama Munawer & Mohammad Al-Whatever-ya'-face. . . tho' I ain't the judge, I'll tell you somethin' for nuthin' : Bad Move boys.

To Osama Al-Munawer, Mohammad Hayef and his gang:
These "excessive number of churches" are there for a reason, your country's Christian "minority" is growing stronger by the day. Your fellow Muslims are leaving the filth of Islam to the Light of Christ. Whether you like it or not, whether the useful idiots of the Media report it or not, Muslims are leaving Islam in unprecedented numbers.

"This Christianization movement is too big to be dealt with, even by ALL arab countries COMBINED." (Sheikh Ahmad al-Qataani)

Sometimes, I think that Saddam should simply have been allowed to annex Kuwait & Saudi Arabia, in return for a guaratntee to the US and Israel not to attack it. That way, he could have continued his jihad against Iran and Syria, while the oil money that the rest of the world paid him could have been used to build more of his palaces, instead of promoting dawa in the west.

I propose Muslim live by the same rules wherever they infest civilized countries. Is that too much to ask?

Apologies for being off-topic, but the latest video by the English Defence League shows why they plan to demonstrate in Hyde, Manchester this Saturday, following a vicious 'Asian' pack attack on Daniel Stringer. The Greater Manchester Police are considering banning the protest: http://durotrigan.blogspot.com/2012/02/edl-hyde-demo-video.html

“Kuwait already has an excessive number of churches compared to the country’s Christian minority”, he was quoted as saying by the Kuwait Times newspaper.


hmmmmm. Kuwait has over 1100 mosques, more if you count the numerous backroom praying rooms....Christians has 7 established churches and 12 prayer group meeting areas...

The establishment of new mosques goes unhindered and not much in the way of new building requirements is needed, on the other hand the construction of new churches is virtually non=existent due to great obstacles in acquiring permission to build (or even repair) churches...and due to great opposition by the Muslim government and the Muslim people....oppostion that is harsh and often openly violent.

It would appear Islam is terrified about Christianity...and the leaders of Islam are lying when they mention Islam has tolerance and respect for the other religions of the world.

Maybe Islam's religious are really worried that large numbers of Muslims are indeed leaving Isalm...

They have seen Islam and found it was not all it was cracked up to be..

Can you imagine what would happen if a member of congress seriously proposed banning all new mosques the US?

Guy Macher said,

"I propose Muslim live by the same rules wherever they infest civilized countries. Is that too much to ask?"

No, it is NOT to much to ask. In fact, it's not to much to demand! And that's what needs to happen. Loudly and proudly! The louder, the better! Demand it where ever your are, and DO NOT take "no" for an answer!

Kuwaiti legislators call for ban on construction of churches

.......................................

Yes—bans on churches being built, or, worse, attacks by crazed Muslim mobs on churches have recently occurred in Nigeria, Egypt, Indonesia, the Balkans, Pakistan, and many other far-flung parts of Dar-al-Islam.

The Kuwaiti Constitution provides for "absolute freedom" of belief and for freedom of religious practice in accordance with established customs, provided that it "does not conflict with public policy or morals"—but, of course, that last allows for complete *suppression* of freedom of religion, especially for Infidels.

In addition, the Constitution states that Islam is the state religion.

According to Wikipedia, there are about 350,000 Christians in Kuwait, or 10-15% of the population. Only about 200-350 (several sources) are native Kuwaitis, with Kuwaiti citizenship. The rest are mostly foreign workers.

A 1980 law prohibits the naturalization of non-Muslims.

In Kuwait, it is not allowable for Infidels to proselytize Muslims. Christian publishing houses are not permitted. Islamic religious education is compulsory for all students in state schools, and non-Islamic religious education is prohibited at all types of schools.

Here's a disturbingly hostile interview by the BBC with the Vicar Apostolic in Kuwait:

http://www.oasiscenter.eu/node/4820

He confirms what exsgtbrown says—that there are far fewer than 20 churches in the whole country—for 350,000 Christians.

Not exactly indicative that “Kuwait already has an excessive number of churches compared to the country’s Christian minority”. No surprise there, though...

The canadian Immigration Minister, Jason Kenney , has cracked down of citizenship fraud and the saudi money coming into canada to build Meg-mosques to steal canadian land for allah, but the saudis WILL NOT allow a penny of canadian money to build a church in their land.
The whole scam was exposed when Palestine House ( home of the Toronto 18 Terrorists) was caught allowing 300 Bogus refugees from Palestine to use their Address on Applications and then flee canada back home to support Hamas and murder more civilians and gays as a favour to Allah.
Currently there are 6000 bogus Citizenship claims now rejected and the Lawyers know that their client is not in canada , and better not report to fight this ruling. The islamic scam is over, plus the latest wave of bogus ROMA refugees will end too because it seem that they are very good at robbing stores as they did back home.
I have warned of the refugee fraud years back when the $700'000'000.00 a year costs were reported to have a 70% failure rate which meant that Consultants and Immigration Lawyers coached Tourists to stay in canada because it would be oaid from via a Refugee Claim which we see can be appealed for up to 18 years.

Now we hear that Greeks want to pour into canada and bankrupt us too , back in the 1970's some Greek men applied for Military pensions under a rule for Underground Fighters that aided canada against the Nazi's. BUT, the Liberals didn't care that these men weren't born until the 1940's and after the WW2 ended. There were too many votes in Little Greece at Pape and Danforth in Toronto, just as the islamic Enclaves now have cheats in the welfare system as bogus refugees demanding sharaih law in canada and Mosques that can spew hate, but they stay quiet about their islamic hell-holes they left when non-islamic temples are banned or even torched if they still stand.


Min.Kenney wants to get the saudi's to agree to funds going in to build Churches, if not he's closing the door on Whahhabi based millions$$$ funding radical Mosques in canada the pump out jihad-joes like the Khandr family klan of terrorists from the Aly Hindy Mosque . Hindy was on Michael Coren's "Coren Live" CTS show and he freely said that he wanted to see females hung from lightpoles as saddam did for the adulters as a lesson , he wants Shariah Law in canada and even told the CBC he want jihadist to stay in canada and kill canadians here instead of Afghan.

Barbar Hall and Dalton McGuinty have done squat to arrest this guy and he even calls for the death of gays in canada and praises the London Subway bombers and spews in 9/11 conspiracy .
Oddly though, i infer he is admitting that muslims are too stupid to have pulled off 9/11, so it must have been the jews and cia...right?

Check out Hindy's peace loving flock that swaer around kids and attack candians.

That Mosque gets oodles of saudi cash, it's no shock that
Maher Arar now wants to take his son to saudi Arabia for his haaj and to be fully emerged in Whahhabi islam since his wife is palestinian and he's a sunni that Omar Khadr said was in a Afghan training camp for Al-qaeda.

The Liberals in canada are a bit slow to connect the dots for 15 911 hijackers being saudis and that Arar now ants to go to saudia Arabia to indoctrinate his boys into martyrdome for allah and muhammed.

"Kuwaiti legislators call for ban on construction of churches"--from the article.

Hey, relax. Danios at Loonwatch assures us that the conditions of the dhimma have long since been abandoned and, besides, the dhimma historically wasn't so bad anyways.

Reciprocity!!

The Swiss said no minarets - if this goes through - likely you will have to listen very carefully to hear any outrage!

Does this Kuwaiti parliamentarian think the entire world is stupid? Why does he even bother with his pathetic justification? He wants to stop the building of new churches because there aren't enough Christians to fill them? Really? He's really worried about Christians stupidly wasting money building churches nobody attends? Is he also going to stop the growing of food nobody wants to eat?

And meanwhile Tablighi Jamaat is bulldozing ahead with a truly monstrous military base (er, mosque) in London, not far from the Olympic site...

'The Mega Mosque - Tablighi Jamaat casts on a new application'

I find it simply infuriating that Muslims can ride roughshod over non-Muslims' objections all over the world - Australia, USA, UK, etc - to push up huge, ugly mosques that look suspiciously like army barracks by any other name, and that Muslims - if they encounter the smallest squeak of opposition - whine and squawk and HOWL that they are being persecuted and victimised (see Murfreesboro, see NYC and the 9/11 Victory Mosque, or Fort), whilst all over dar al Islam churches and other non-Muslim places of worship are being wantonly destroyed, and non-Muslims find it almost impossible to build *any* place of worship, no matter how small and unobtrusive.

I hate, despise and detest the malignant narcissism of Islam, its arrogant rejection of the principle of reciprocity, the way in which it laughs fiendishly whilst hurting others, yet howls in indignant outrage if it gets handed so much as a pain in the pinkie from an infidel who has the temerity to resist and defend himself against unprovoked and continual Muslim aggression.

"I hate, despise and detest the malignant narcissism of Islam, its arrogant rejection of the principle of reciprocity, ..."

In order to understand and submit to the principle of reciprocity you need to develop a critical mental faculty which enables you to see yourself and your belief from an outside perspective and judge it by a universal rational standard.

All monotheistic religions face this problem for the simple reason that there can only be ONE true God. There can be no outside position because the religious paradigm explains all aspects of life and define the norms and limits for acceptable explanations.

However, Christianity offers a solution to the problem with the acceptance of the universal (secular) golden rule - essentially a rule based upon (subjective) reciprocity - and its religious variant, to love your fellow man as you love yourself, and by separating religion and politics, thus creating space for moving outside the religious (theological) paradigm into the political, scientific and philosophical spheres.

Nevertheless Christian theology very early on rejected equal or reciprocal treatment of Jews and created a theological foundation for Judeophobia, demonization and persecution of Jews. At one point Judaism was outlawed by the pope and Jews converted to Christianity by coercion. Only 20 years after the Holocaust the theological dogma for Judeophobia was finally removed in the Roman Catholic Church, and equal - reciprocal - treatment of Jews and their religion established.

Islamic theology is based upon the basic principle that Muslims are the people chosen by the only true God, the best of people or God's people, and consequently non-Muslims cannot be equal to Muslims in any respect. That's why the golden rule or the principle of reciprocity cannot exist in Islam, at least not in universal form, therefore it is limited only to apply to the true believers - the umma. That is what makes Islam a supremacist religion and political ideology because the two are one and the same in Islam and cannot be separated according to the limits of the paradigm.

For a Muslim there is in principle no position outside the paradigm. Such positions are by definition heresy or blasphemy against the religion. Therefore science and philosophy can have no place in Islam if it contradicts the Qur'an and Sunna. All that is needed to live a good and just life comes from revelation and the only "science" relevant is jurisprudence based upon the holy Scriptures in order to establish Gods Law - Sharia, which regulate all aspects of life and politics.

....You're Welcome, dear Kuwaiti's for America and our American blood saving you from Saddam's invasion.

.......MEMO: to all other Islamic areas in central/west Asia:

American blood and treasure during "undeclared" wars such as you're experiencing just now are not a "given", no pun intended.

We do indeed have memories, and aren't entirely useful idiots, contrary to your leaders' opinions.... only some activist portions of our political spectrum have yet to learn the true threat which your infiltrating and "sleeping" elements of Islam already resident in our Country pose to our long term way of life for which we have paid so dearly to maintain over many generations.

You're Welcome, dear Pakistanis, Afghani's, and Iraqi's for the American blood having been spilled in your countries while we were duped into thinking you each were Allied to the cause of that alien concept called "Democracy".

The best lessons are often learned the "hard way", aren't they?

Am I mistaken or didn't the U.S. military save the asses of these Kuwaitis from Saddam Hussein when he invaded their country? What a bunch of ungrateful bastards.
