Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Northern Ireland: Pastor who said “Islam is satanic” faces six months in jail

Jun 19, 2015 5:31 pm By Robert Spencer

James McConnell“He said the decision to prosecute him, and not extremist Muslim preachers in Britain, showed that Christians were being ‘persecuted’ by the authorities.” Could it really be possible that Britain’s hate speech laws are being selectively applied, and hateful speech by Muslim clerics ignored? Let’s see:

UK: Muslim cleric praises Charlie Hebdo jihad, says UK “enemy of Islam” — January 10, 2015

UK: Father of a teen who joined jihad in Syria believes his son was “radicalized” by imam at a mosque — July 4, 2014

UK: Muslim cleric praises Boko Haram’s kidnap of schoolgirls — May 29, 2014

UK Muslim leader: Muslims should humiliate Christians so they’ll convert to Islam — May 8, 2014

UK allows speaking tour by Saudi imam who calls Shi’ites “apostates” and says no churches should be allowed in Saudi Arabia — December 17, 2013

UK: Imam who says gays should be thrown off a mountain to speak at London conference — October 3, 2013

East London Mosque to host imam who supports jihad terror — July 26, 2013

UK Muslim leader says that imams promote sex slavery rings — May 16, 2013

UK: Muslim leader advocates female genital mutilation — April 30, 2012

UK: University to host imam who called Jews “enemy” — January 18, 2011

Saudi imam who called Jews “scum, rats, pigs, monkeys” speaks in London — August 5, 2009

UK: Imam’s daughter converted to Christianity, and her father came after her with an axe — March 16, 2009

UK Imam: “Non-Muslims are never innocent, they are guilty of denying Allah and his prophet” — April 1, 2008

It’s OK to kill gays — British imam — October 27, 2006

UK: Imam backs terror attack against Blair — June 18, 2006

British imam praises London Tube bombers — February 12, 2006

How many of those imams were prosecuted for hate speech?

“‘Satanic Islam’ sermon Belfast pastor James McConnell says he faces six months in jail,” by Suzanne Breen, Belfast Telegraph, June 19, 2015:

In an exclusive interview with the Belfast Telegraph, Pastor McConnell last night defiantly said he’d go to prison rather than withdraw the remarks.

“I am 78 years of age and in ill health but jail knows no fear for me,” he said.

“They can lock me up with sex offenders, hoodlums and paramilitaries and I will do my time.

“I have no regrets about what I said. I do not hate Muslims but I denounce Islam as a doctrine and I make no apologies for that. I will be pleading ‘not guilty’ when I stand in the dock in August.”

Pastor McConnell’s solicitor Joe Rice vowed to fight the case “tooth and nail”.

He called for the PPS to withdraw the charges and said pursuing the case was “an absolute waste of scarce public funds”.

He revealed plans to turn the case into a landmark trial and call a range of political, religious and academic witnesses from across the UK to give evidence “in defence of freedom of speech and freedom of religion”.

In an interview in his Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle, Pastor McConnell spoke for the first time about the serious health issues he faced. And he revealed that after the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris, the PSNI had warned him that his life was in danger. He said the decision to prosecute him, and not extremist Muslim preachers in Britain, showed that Christians were being “persecuted” by the authorities.

Pastor McConnell has been charged under the 2003 Communications Act with “sending, or causing to be sent, by means of a public electronic communications network, a message or other matter that was grossly offensive”.

The charges centre on a sermon he gave in his church last year in which he said “Islam is heathen, Islam is satanic, Islam is a doctrine spawned in hell”. The sermon was streamed on the internet.

Pastor McConnell said: “I am facing up to six months in jail and a hefty fine for saying what I believe. I have had four heart bypasses, a liver operation and I have cancer and diabetes.

“All I need to get by in prison is my tablets, my reading glasses and books from the library.[“]

        British barristers should be lining up to take this case in defence of the freedom of expression and to attack the double standards involved in letting supremacist, jihadist, misogynistic Muslims make hateful statements with impunity while a Christian pastor is charged for criticizing their hatred!

    A message that is “grossly offensive” gives rise to a prosecution?
    How about The Koran? That contains messages.
    Kafirs are “unclean” (9:28), “the vilest of beasts” (8:22).
    Jews and Christians are as “apes and pigs” (5:60), “the most despicable” (98:6).
    Those messages are grossly offensive.

      Jun 19, 2015 at 6:17 pm

      How true! The Koran is filled with hatred against Jews, Infidels, Gays, disobedient wives, etc. The pastor should be prosecuted when the Koran is banned.

    There is an analog, different, but still indicative of constraint on free speech. The other night on the Fox RINO show The Kelly File, roving reporter Trace Gallagher reported that the statement “Kill them wherever you find them” on the Facebook page of the Moore OK head chopper murderer. Megyn didn’t ask where that gruesome notion came from. If they knew from where it came — Holy Ko-Ran 9:5, then they didn’t make the attribution out of self-censorship. If they didn’t know, how is it possible that a street punk revert knows and a college educated news entertainer like Megyn, who spends about a third of her air time reporting Moslemisms, did *not* know that it came from from the primary scripture of the Religion of Peace?

    ***

    Boy, Britain has really gone downhill. There is no good legal principle behind “hate crimes,” only the urge to muzzle unpleasant speech and put the fear of jail time into the hearts of free speakers, who by the definition of hate crime laws are unpleasant people.

    Hate crime laws are themselves a form of terror.

    • RonaldB says

      Jun 20, 2015 at 2:24 am

      There’s a difference between hate crime laws and hate speech laws.

      Hate speech laws are currently unconstitutional in the United States. Despite Hillary’s supporting UN Resolution 16/18, sponsored by the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation), the resolution cannot be legally implemented in the United States because of the first amendment. However, the United States is in the position of the foremost bastion of free speech in the world supporting the legal suppression of free speech in all other countries. As usual, Hillary is untouchable in the minds of her supporters.

      Hate crimes are a method of adding severity to an act which is already a crime because it was motivated by animosity towards a member of a protected group, such as blacks. The very essence of “hate crime” lends itself to political and selective enforcement. Logically speaking, if a crime such as, say assault and battery, does not have a penalty sufficient to deter it, the penalty needs to be strengthened. It doesn’t matter what group the victim is in. On the other hand, if the penalty is already sufficient in the eyes of society, what benefit comes from adding severity because the offender (maybe) acted on the basis that the victim was a member of a protected group.

      Take the case of the shooter in the Charleston church, who killed 9 innocent people. If he doesn’t qualify for the death penalty straight out, our laws need more revision than a hate crime provision will provide. By the way, Breivik, the Norway shooter who killed 80 people in Norway, could only be sentenced to 21 years hard time, with any remaining time tacked on “as needed”. Obviously, the Norwegian laws are desperately in need of revision.

      The point is, hate crime provisions are only political, and serve to enhance the idea of “protected” classes. Protected classes are also a useless political concept, as the vast majority of black victims are victims of black criminals.

      I’m very upset (not surprised, but upset) at the blatant political mileage the Obama administration is making of the shooting: enhancing its political agenda of racial privilege and pushing one of his favorite themes: gun control. So, what gets lost is any real appreciation of the tragedy of the murder of what seem to be 9 magnificent people, and any real investigation into laws that might actually serve to lessen the danger of mass murders, or even random individual murders.

    “Pastor McConnell has been charged under the 2003 Communications Act with “sending, or causing to be sent, by means of a public electronic communications network, a message or other matter that was grossly offensive”.

    Offensive to whom? How can it ever be shown that those claiming to be “offended” are actually offended, and not simply pretending to be offended?

    If a particular act is considered offensive by some people but not others, then that act is not inherently offensive. In that case, who really deserves the blame for making a person feel offended? I would lay the blame on the offended person’s friends, family, religious leaders, etc.

    • RonaldB says

      The current prosecution of speech critical of Islam under the guise of suppressing provocative speech, stems from a ten-year campaign by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation begun in 2005, to make criticism of Muhammad or Islam illegal. The OIC is the biggest bloc in the United Nations, no friend of individual liberties or freedom, and is able to leverage its votes into international pressure on a largely compliant world, including Western governments who should be protecting, rather than suppressing, free speech.

      It is important to realize that the basic push behind such prosecutions is not the offensive character of the speech at all, but the fact that it is critical of Islam. Forthright statements like those of Pastor McConnell, a brave and principled man, are simply the tip of the spear, but if his prosecution is successful, the bar for prosecution will be most certainly steadily lowered.

      This is, by the way, why the Muhammad Cartoon Contest by Spencer and Geller were not simply an ill-considered provocation, but a vital wall in defense of our absolute freedom of speech.

      Pat is intelligent and articulate and has a few hundred thousand plus followers on youtube. Taking on Pat might be biting off a bit more than they want to chew at the moment. Pat is also not a Christian clergyman — Christians are easy targets these days. (And they do pick their targets.)

      • RonaldB says

        Jun 20, 2015 at 2:41 am

        I think you’re right. Taking on Pat Condell would be risky. He would go down swinging, bringing loads of publicity worldwide on bureaucrats who wish nothing more than to remain in the shadows. Also, they would be quite likely to lose, setting precedents that would make it more difficult to prosecute criticism of Islam by others.

        You’re right. They do select their targets, and they want to set precedents by picking on weaker targets with less publicity and fewer resources to defend themselves. The prosecutors are, of course, classic bullies, but what can you do?

    Well, the one that denies Jesus as Son of God is satan, so according to the bible islam is satanic. And since no one believes in satan these days, why would they even care about saying it is satanic? How is satanic defined by our society?

      Very true. And satan doesn’t wish any to believe he even exists, but he doesn’t really have the power to keep his *children* in line. satan inspires them to evil acts, and at the same time, has blinded their minds to the truth about Christ.

      Jewish people, by definition, also deny that Jesus is the son of God. Does that make Pamela Geller, David Horowitz and Daniel Greenfield satan? I guess so. It’s written down in a book.

      • deja vu says

        Jun 21, 2015 at 7:13 am

        vlparker: ‘Does that make Pamela Geller, David Horowitz and Daniel Greenfield satan? I guess so.’

        Then you guess wrongly, for nowhere is it claimed that individuals ‘are’ Satan. But political ideologies, whether hiding under the guise of ‘religion’ or not, can certainly be satanic in origin and inspiration.

        Ask yourself, what was the fruit of the Fascist Hitler, Communist Stalin, or Maoist Khmer Rouge butcher Pol Pot? What is the fruit of Islam which has birthed Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and ISIS among dozens of other terrorist groups – not to mention some of the most diabolical individuals alive today?

        As Jesus pointed out, a tree is judged by its fruit.

        “For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:43-45)

        For your information, the Jews are still God’s Covenant people despite the fact they, as yet, do not recognise Jesus as the Messiah. However, there are many who do, and increasing numbers are realising that the ancient prophecies of their Scriptures are being fulfilled in ur times.

        And lastly, here’s a tip: it is wise not to be flippant about so serious a subject as this.

      Wellington, mortimer and all:

      I hate to say this, but it was a tory government which possibly created WWII, and are now doing their darnedest to create WWIII.

      I am half way through “The Last Lion Winston Spencer Churchill ‘Alone’ 1932-1940, (1988) by William Manchester, ISBN 0-216-54503-1 Amazon reviewers rate it 4.8 out of 5, with 50 out of 59 rating it 5 stars.

      It is an act of masochism, reading how those appeasing BASTARDS Stanley Baldwin and Mr. Appeaser himself Neville Chamberlain, kept WSC out of the government, repeatedly denied facts about the strengths of the British and German forces, and grovelled to Hitler, allowing him to re-arm, re-militarize the Ruhr (and construct the Siegfried Line), invade Austria, then Czechoslovakia.

      Reading that history, (which is what it is, as much as a biography), reveals the depths of depravity of those spineless leaders who surrendered Austria then Czechoslovakia with thousands of subsequent deaths, and tens of thousands of victims to concentration camps, followed, ultimately by the deaths of MILLIONS, The Holocaust and the destruction of nations.

      Only nineteen battalions entered the Rhineland, and only three crossed to the west bank, with many of the Nazi generals fearful of a French counter-attack, which never came, thanks to spineless politicians in France and Britain.

      Had Hitler been stopped there, maybe a few thousand, or even only hundreds would have died.
      If Hitler were not seen to be doing so well, would Pearl Harbor have happened?

      EXACTLY the same is happening now. Almost anything the rabid worshipers of mo want, they get.
      There are even over 2,000 members of the National Association of Moslem Police, some in senior positions. Not only can they warn their fellow CULTISTS if something is going down, they are actually in a position steer policies to their favor.

      Police have to don clean gloves before handling any moslem books lest they contaminate a ‘Book of Hate™’. They cannot use dogs which might offend the SAVAGE’S sensibilities – but I bet they still use them in investigations/raids against the indigenes.

      I really don’t believe that say thirty years ago, a Jew or Sikh in an argument with a Christian would expect unequal treatment from a (probably) Christian ‘copper’ or ‘bobby’. I doubt they would even think about that, unless the cop made an obvious racist remark. Nowadays, if a CIVILIZED person has a problem with a SAVAGE, and a mohammedan ‘policeman’ turns up, whose soul is bound to the umma (and who regards the ‘laws’ of man as null and void), what do they think? What if that mohammedan ‘cop’ has selective hearing or vision? If the SAVAGE is to blame, but the mozomb cop tells the kuffar to “forget it”, WHAT possible recourse would the innocent person have?

      The mohammedan rape epidemic is enough to make any HUMAN being’s heart bleed, but it’s still going on. A few have been jailed, but the vast majority of the umma are in denial. Perpetual denial.
      The same corrupt councillors and labour brown-nosers have been re-elected, probably by the same umma pedophiles and their leftard enablers. I don’t believe ONE guilty person has been fined or gone to jail.

      A dhimmi judge lets a mohammedan pedophile rapist off virtually scot-free, because its disgusting lawyer convinces him that the pedophile was taught by his CULT that indigene women are like ‘lollipops’, worthless – to be used and discarded.

      I would DEARLY love to see ALL those corrupt politicians, judges, lawyers, academics, teachers, trade unionists and ordinary antisemites in a concentration camp along with the SAVAGES they imported and enabled.

    And to counter the charges and show that being called….on a weekly basis, even daily basis…vile creatures, pigs, and apes, and that none of us deserve to live is not only terribly offensive, but can and does incite other muslims to violence.

    Where are his fellow Christians in Not-So-Great Britain? I guess they are with the program. The Mohammedans came for the Christians in the Middle East and they did nothing. They, that is, the British Government, which is a proxy for the Mohammedans, came for poor Pastor McConnell, and they did nothing. Do they think they are not going to be next? Maybe they think that when the alligator has eaten his full, he will no longer need food. Unfortunately, satiety is temporary and hunger always returns.

      I agree with you that Texas is the best of the best.

      However, Texas is the biggest target of the Refugee Resettlement program. As Muslims are pushed into Texas, the political base for independence and freedom will be eroded, which is probably a primary objective of the program anyway.

        I live in the Fort Hood Area. It broke my heart when I heard about the people murdered in church in SC. Within hours the Administration was calling it a hate crime. Our Administration still calls the Fort Hood shooting work place violence.

    Sad that it has to be done on the back of a dying man, but everything happens in God’s world for a reason.
    Bring it on.
    Proving his words to be true, will be easy.
    To disprove his words will be very hard.
    The publicity generated by this trial, could be the impetus to putting an end to the hateful side of Islam.

    Can one read from it and avoid prosecution?

    I quote:

    “A cask by losing centre-piece or stave
    Was never shattered so, as I saw one slave
    Rent from the chin to where one breaketh wind.

    Between his legs were hanging down his entrails;
    His heart was visible, and the dismal sack
    That maketh excrement of what is eaten.

    While I was all absorbed in seeing him,
    He looked at me, and opened with his hands
    His bosom, saying: “See now how I rend me;

    How mutilated, see, is Mahomet;
    In front of me doth Ali weeping go,
    Cleft in the face from forelock unto chin…

    This would not happen in the United States, under the protection of the First Amendment. Pastor McConnell would likely still be excoriated as an “Islamophobe”, but he would not be facing jail time.

    But this isn’t, as noted, just about freedom of speech protections, as important as they are—this is about being persecuted for voicing a non-violent opinion, while Jihadists are free to *call for the murder of innocent people*.

      Prosecutions such as this one are fully mandated by UN Resolution 16/18, enthusiastically supported by the US State Department, particularly when it was headed by Hillary Clinton.

      The US government is supporting the suppression of speech in other countries, while unable to do so because of the Constitution.

      But, with the US government firmly on the side of suppressing the Constitution, and with full Republican complicity, how long will our freedoms last?

    Jun 20, 2015 at 1:41 am

    I will follow this case with great interest. The soul of Britain is on trial. Having watched his entire sermon (thanks to the link from Allan), it is notable that he makes comments about 1) Allah and Mohammed (the Ideology), 2) Muslims and their political supporters (people), and 3) the Catholic Church.

    1:13 “The God we worship and serve this evening is not Allah. The Muslim God, Allah, is a heathen deity. Allah is a cruel deity. Allah is a demon deity.”
    1:40 The house of Windsor pays homage to and supplies financial inducements to appease the Muslim community.
    2:00 Christian persecution in Muslim lands.
    2:50 “These fanatical worshippers are the worshippers of the God called Allah.” (in reference to Christian persecutors).
    3:10 Accusation that the government and clergy are ignoring Christian persecution.
    3:20 Quotes the Bible on “not have fellowship with devils,” and related text.
    4:00 Predicts that Biblical quote from Paul will soon not be tolerated by the nation because it is considered a language of “hate”. Goes on to state there was “no hate in Paul’s heart. Paul loved all men.”
    4:35 Counters Prince Charles’s statement of “defender of all faiths” with Biblical “one Lord, one Faith,…”
    6:30 Again predicts quoting Bible will be “an offense to the law.”
    7:00 “The Muslim religion was created many hundreds of years after Christ. Mohammed, the Islam prophet, was born around the year AD 570, but Muslims believe that Islam is the true religion dating back to Adam. And that the Biblical patriarchs were all Muslims. Including Noah and Abraham and Moses and even our Lord Jesus Christ. Today we see powerful evidence that more and more Muslims are putting the Koran’s hatred of Christians and Jews into practice. Now people say there are good Muslims in Britain and that may be so. But I don’t trust them.”
    8:00 Recites history regarding the IRA and government appeasements.
    8:30 “Today a new evil has arisen. There are cells of Muslims right throughout Britain…. And this nation is going to enter into a great tribulation and a great trial. To judge by some of what I have heard in the past few months, you would think that Islam was little more than a variation of Christianity and Judaism. Not so. Islam’s ideas about God, about humanity, about salvation, are vastly different than the teaching of the Holy scriptures. Islam is heathen. Islam is satanic. Islam is a doctrine spawned in hell.”

    A little later, he gets a dig in on the Catholic Church, in the future tense.
    11:00 “Listen to me carefully. The Roman Catholic Church will soon bring Mary, the mother of our Lord, and I say that with respect to Mary, they will bring her into the trinity. Instead of the trinity there will be a quartet. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Mary. The young people who are listening to me tonight will live to see it.”

    After 11:36, there is no more mention of Islam (or digs at the Catholic church). It is very mainstream Christian ideology as preached by protestants.

    It is easy to see how Muslims would be offended–they are offended by Christian theology in total, and Islamic ideology is characterized as heathen, satanic, etc. (blasphemy under Sharia, no doubt). But it is difficult to pick out the line which singles out Muslims (people as distinguished from ideology) for attack–in fact he admits there may be “good Muslims” in Britain. The closest he comes to assigning threat to a specific group of real, living people is his juxtaposition that “Muslim cells” are a new evil.

    If he is found guilty, it will be interesting to see whether it is because of the “evil” Muslim cells (although the use of the word ‘cell’ is often used with terrorism, which is reasonably ‘evil’), or it is because of his blasphemy of Allah. Seems unlikely the Catholic ‘quartet’ comment will be the basis for prosecution. Practically everything else he states is either fact of record, mainstream Christian theology, or a quote from the Bible.

    A guilty verdict would probably mean Islamic blasphemy laws (i.e., you cannot say anything bad about Islamic theology) are in force in Britain.

      “11:00 “Listen to me carefully. The Roman Catholic Church will soon bring Mary, the mother of our Lord, and I say that with respect to Mary, they will bring her into the trinity. Instead of the trinity there will be a quartet. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Mary. The young people who are listening to me tonight will live to see it.””

        “Methinks the good pastor took a train to crazytown on that one…”

        The whole point of free speech is that it doesn’t need to be reasonable, or even true as long as no individual is slandered. The issue of McConnell’s right to speak, and the reasonableness of what he says are entirely different.

        By the way, as Steven Coughlin points out in “Catastrophic Failure”, you can’t really espouse the tenets of one religion without offending another, since different religions, by definition, have different views on existence. So, you can either be willing to offend someone, or you have to just speak mushy pablum your whole life. And we need to raise kids with the idea that it’s ok to be insulted, and to insult.

          Indeed, that’s why don’t worry about being an equal opportunity offender, by exposing all rather than espousing any.

          Jun 21, 2015 at 4:53 pm

          To Stardusty Psyche- Happy Father’s Day if it applies to you. I do not think you are offensive; I think you have ‘tude (attitude). And because of that attitude, you give off vibes, as PM David Cameron would say, “I am choking on my morning porridge” when asked about “No-Go zones” in certain cities in England where there was suspected Sharia law instead of English law. So now I would like to address one of the issues you brought up earlier, about Jesus saying “turn the other cheek”. I went to 2 sources to get an answer to this question I posed: “When Jesus said ‘Take up your cross and follow me’, did He mean that we should allow ourselves to be killed for His sake and not defend ourselves if attacked?” The first response came from Glenn at thisisyourbible.com: “We are commanded to love our enemies, and those in Christ have no ‘right’ to defend themselves taking up arms.” (So then my question becomes, “If Christians have no ‘right’ can we do it as a ‘choice’ to save our Christian society and Christian civilization if attacked?”) The second answer to the same question came from Cliff of GotQuestions.org. He said: “The response to atrocities by each individual will be very different, i.e., it cannot be a blanket response. Some maybe called to defend and take up arms in war, but some may be a ‘martyr’ for Christ, some called to pray, and some called to take the gospel to the very people who are killing our brothers and sisters in Christ. We all have different gifts and we should be using the gifts faithfully according to the proportion of our faith.”- Romans 12:6-8. I am not certain that these address your issue. But I tried my best! (Same line as spoken by the wife of Stephen Hawking in the movie “The Theory of Everything”.)

          Hi Linde,
          Thanks for the happy father’s day wishes, very thoughtful of you, much appreciated.

          There is enough material in the Bible that one can develop an apologetic to bolster a very wide range of viewpoints.

          But I think the message of love and pacifism is pretty clear from Jesus. Maybe one day you will put your theistic beliefs behind you and follow your own sense of right and wrong in this world, as opposed to acting in hopes of a better life in the imagined next world.

          Why saddle yourself with trying to decipher some ancient text as an obligatory road map for your life? As food for thought, fine, but any person of good will could improve upon the bible in about 10 minutes…it really is not a very great source of wisdom for modern life…bits and pieces are ok..but we know by our own lights which are the wise and which are the unwise, so why attempt to follow one ancient book as an obligatory instruction manual?

        • Linde Barrera says

          To Stardusty Psyche- Your questions are thought provoking. The only rebuttal I can make is that I am fallible, imperfect and not holy nor pure. It is my belief that the higher power I call God, is infallible, perfect, holy and pure. Since I believe He (or She) created me, I have to live with and follow God’s agenda, which is very often difficult given my attachment to the material things of this life.

        • Stardusty Psyche says

          Jun 21, 2015 at 8:32 pm

          Hi Linde,
          You are not even sure if god is male or female, so how can you possibly hope to discern this vaunted being’s agenda?

          I can sense much about a person by their written word, and I sense you have a good heart. I would be more inclined to follow your agenda before I would follow that of some ancient mythology.

          I was not trying to back you into a place from which you might have to make a rebuttal, just saying in my view you would be better off looking at the bible as literature from which you might pick up some good ideas here and there and discard the rest, as opposed to an instruction manual for you to decipher and follow by rote.

        • Linde Barrera says

          Jun 22, 2015 at 6:35 pm

          To Stardusty Psyche- I am not a theologian, nor can I state that I have read every book of the old and new testaments. I have read several complete books of both testaments, but am far from scholarly. I believe in the messages of the bible, as they were written by men under divine inspiration from God. It is not for me to pick and choose which verses to believe and follow, and which not to believe and not follow, because they are all from God, my source and supply. (There are some verses that I dont like, but I still have to believe in the bible in totality.) I believe that God is a spirit who is good, holy, pure and loving. I really don’t care if God has a gender! I believe the Grace of God is what gets anyone into heaven, but if people do good works and kind deeds, that shows faithfulness and a faith on fire. I believe that disbelief hurts God! I want to thank you for your compliment about my kind heart. I have to work at it! I do wish I had 2 additional things both of which I lack: one is a higher degree of physical intelligence, so I were a better dancer, and the other is what the Japanese have as one of their philosophical truisms: “Face is everything.” I invite you to see my photo on my FB page under my name.

        I predict they (the police authority) will bully him, dragging out an investigation and running up his legal fees for an extended period of time (until he passes away). They will repeatedly call him in for interrogation and show up at inconvenient times, including disrupting his sermons. His trial will be repeatedly deferred for health or other reasons until he passes away, avoiding any sort of test of the limits of the law. Effectively, the sentence will be served without any trial at all: the sentence is police harassment for life.

        A guilty verdict would undoubtedly result in politically uncomfortable daily, likely non-violent, protests by bold Christians of every age and stripe, but especially the aged and children. I could see protestant clergy participating, but I expect the Catholic and Anglican clergy would keep their distance. Weeks of videos showing endless protest martyr Christians being thrown into the backs of police vans to “protect the Muslims” will swing non-Muslim voters against all politicians in power and you can bet the politicians won’t want to go there!

      Smart Guy freedom of religion means the freedom to practice your religion free from persecution or harassment. It also means you have a freedom to choose no religion if you wish. It does not give you the right to hate and promote hate.

      McConnell is a bigoted individual who preaches a version of Christianity that is, frankly, offensive and at times at odds with the words of Jesus. Let’s be honest, Jesus never referred to the other religions of the his day, he never called non-believers or even believers ‘foul sinners’ and he never taunted anyone.

      If Christians and so called Christians actually followed the words of Jesus and acted like him, the church would be a vastly different place. Jesus tells people to BE the light in the world. When you look and listen to McConnell do you see Jesus, the prince of peace?

          Also, didn’t we had a similar argument like, yesterday? How did that turned out for you? Oh, yeah, your whole “argument” relied on a non-existing distinction. Like I said then, very below average.

          Hi Angemon,
          You said
          “I have no idea why people nowadays believe Jesus taught his followers to be meek”
          Ok, you have “no idea why”
          Here is a very simple reason why::
          Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth
          That is an obvious reason “why people nowadays believe Jesus taught his followers to be meek”
          It says so directly in a quote of Jesus! How much more obvious could it be as to “why”?
          Yet you have “no idea why”

          Hence my question as to whether you have read even the most basic texts of Christianity. You “have not idea why” people are reading the plain words of Jesus!

          The same is true for responding to getting hit by turning the other cheek.

          Of course, you have a long convoluted apologetic that seeks to negate the plain text of
          Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth
          and
          But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right

          You have “no idea why” people would read and follow the plain text of the words of Christ and not follow your long. tortured apologetic.

          You are not much of a student of human behavior, are you?

          Angemon….this isn’t a pop at you,merely another illustration of agreeance with you.”And by your fruits,so ye shall be known…”. You are correct,Jesus does not advocate tolerating evil and to those who think islam is peaceful should look at the fruits of that “religion”and the followers of it.How can this pastor be prosecuted for stating the truth? We will see much,much more of this type of prosecution,free speech is anything but free in this God forsaken age.

          Angemon, YOU are right.
          For the others here who are confused :
          The modern ” social Gospel” has twisted the message of Jesus forcing Christians to their knees with their sactimonious modern-day pharisees finger-pointung ” turn the other cheek, do not judge” however they do not read in context. This is what Muslims say but lie and have copied the Christians when it dies not apply to the Quran.Another subject though !

          We pray in the Lord’s prayer DELIVER US FROM EVIL. So we must name the evil.
          Jesus was no pacifist and did not go about turning the other cheek to the unrighteous. Or the evil . He told them straight..Stand off !
          Look at the Pharisees throwing down their rocks as he stared at them with the authority no other man had..wrote in the sand ( their sins I believe ) and rescued the woman from being stoned BUT WARNED her to NOT TO SIN AGAIN !
          The social gospel has made Him out to be some forgiving wimp of a hippy.
          He was strong in mind and body as a carpenter without modern technology. Feared and hated as confrontational truthful and controversial . No onee is going to hate a weak hippy are they. He has been reduced to a helpless creature by even ” Christians”
          He made it very clear NO MAN HAS POWER over HIM
          He called Pharisees and scribes etc “Broods of vipers “and hey ” YOUR FATHER IS THE DEVIL”

          Wimpy christians today do NOT even evangelise to the Muslims in their midst !!
          Yes turn the othercheek when our religion is critcised and pray for them. Do good to them as witnesses BUT WE ARE NOT TO LET THEM TAKE US OVER but tell the truth as Jesus did always. That Our Gospel and Jesus is the way the truth and the life.
          WE are in charge in our own countries ! The first Christians were under the rule of the Romans so helpless. WE ARE NOT

          May God bless this man. He did not preach death to Muslims did he ? NO just said they are evil,and they are. They DO evil and oreach it. HE DOES NOT.

        Apollo, who is either a naively illiterate Christian, a Leftard, or a lying Muslim, wrote:

        “McConnell is a bigoted individual who preaches a version of Christianity that is, frankly, offensive and at times at odds with the words of Jesus. Let’s be honest, Jesus never referred to the other religions of the his day, he never called non-believers or even believers ‘foul sinners’ and he never taunted anyone. ”

        Wrong — and here’s my evidence:

        All quotes from an extended righteous rant by Jesus, recorded in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 23, as the first two verses indicate:

        Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, saying…

        “woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!…” (verse 13)

        “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!…” (v. 14)

        “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!…” (v. 15)

        “Woe unto you, ye blind guides…” (v. 16)

        “Ye fools and blind…” (v. 17)

        “Ye fools and blind…” (v. 19)

        “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!…” (v. 23)

        “Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.” (v. 24)

        “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!…” (v. 25)

        “Thou blind Pharisee…” (v. 26)

        “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!…” (v. 27)

        “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!…” (v. 29)

        “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? “ (v. 33)

          John C. Barile is wrong on two accounts: this isn’t an “existential” struggle; and I’m not “allying” myself with Angemon. I only do what I’ve always done: support what’s true and best for our self-defense against what Muslims are doing to us and have planned for our societies. In the pursuit of this, Angemon has attacked me hundreds of times over the last two years. He’s the one destroying any “alliance” between our respective positions (whatever his position is, I’m not sure, but it’s not defense of our societies against Muslims).

          Regarding the first fallacy, over two years ago, I wrote the following essay:

          Is Islam an “existential threat”?

          Bollocks, on all accounts. You use the term “attack” to describe any sort of criticism of your despicable behavior (like, for example, lying about what I or PJ said and did) and your ideas. You expect from everyone else the same kind of submission to islam expected from muslims, and anyone who dares criticize you or your ideas can expect to be lied about and vilified, like you’ve shown over and over.

          If you don’t like being called on lying about JW authors and commentators then don’t lie about JW authors and commentators. It’s that simple.

          Now, you’re saying that I’ve been “attacking” you for two years. It’s not the first time you make such a claim, and I’m going to repeat what I said last time: show an example of me “attacking” you back in 2013. You failed to do so before like you’ll fail to do so this time for the same reason: you’re outright lying – in fact, if I recall correctly, the first time I interacted with you was less than one year ago.

        Apollo: ‘Let’s be honest, Jesus never referred to the other religions of the his day, he never called non-believers or even believers ‘foul sinners’ and he never taunted anyone.’

        Others have ably demonstrated that Jesus did indeed speak hard words, but they were directed solely at the Jewish religious elite of His day who opposed Him every inch of the way, and plotted to kill him. Even after His resurrection they hounded and imprisoned His apostles and persecuted ordinary believers. Read the book of Acts.

        Jesus became openly angry when he found the money changers and the sellers of doves desecrating the Temple courts by their thieving and cheating. (Matthew 21:12-13)

        By contrast, Jesus had a heart of compassion for the ordinary people who loved Him back – hence His beautiful promises to them which we find listed in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5).

        I think you are confusing outbursts of temper with righteous anger. The first is not Christlike; the second most certainly is.

          To Stardusty Psyche- Hello again. First, your second paragraph thanks me, but I am not good at recognizing sarcasm. So if you really don’t mean to thank me, it is best not to confuse me! Second, Vishnu, Thor and the others you mentioned are all man-made deities who were invented for a reason: to assist segmdnts of mankind in their respective eco-systems to gain an advantage over the individual self, another person or group, the environment, or some other manipulation of something. Jesus Christ was a historical figure. He was referenced and written about by Titus Flavia Josephus, a Roman-Jewish scholar, whose Hebrew name was Joseph Ben Matityahu, born 37 AD and died 100 AD. Additionally, Jesus is quoted in the Gospel of John, chapter 10 verse 30, “I and the Father are One.” If you don’t believe any of this, that is your choice. I will not force you! But….please do not be like the unschooled fisherman who having seen a hippopotamus for the first time in his life said, “There is no such animal.”

          “, your second paragraph thanks me, but I am not good at recognizing sarcasm. So if you really don’t mean to thank me, it is best not to confuse me! ”

          Again, Linde, please believe me, I am not out to confuse you or use sarcasm against you.

          I am very well aware of the deep meaning of the message of universal love of Jesus Christ. That sentiment resonates deeply with me and I appreciate sincerely when a Christian displays loving disagreement to me.

          If only Islam were so loving and accepting of others!!!

          “Second, Vishnu, Thor and the others you mentioned are all man-made deities”
          Yes, and in my view so are Yahweh, Allah, the divine nature of Jesus, and the holy spirit.

          “Jesus Christ was a historical figure.”
          Maybe. The historicity of Jesus is debatable. Please do a youtube search on Richard Carrier if you want an opposing analysis.
          Here is one of many

    I grew up in Belfast and went to one of his sermons. Powerful ‘firebrand’ preacher. He is spot on of course. It is a shame that he is in such poor health and older. I think it is going to take a big court case like this to start genuine public debate about Islam.

    When the new ‘islamophobia’ legislation is introduced in the UK (as planned by the current government) – i think there should be someone to get themselves charged. Publically state that Islam encourage violence, is intolerant to non-muslims, and discriminates against women, homosexuals etc.

    If this went to court it would be extremely easy to show a lot of evidence to support it. It would be great because it would force the debate into the public sphere. The Courts would essentially have to agree, that even if something is the TRUTH, it can still be a hate crime. THEN the public opinion will start to turn and we can genuinely fight back

    Too many leaders are silent now in the face of islam, as they were silent in the face of slavery, as they were silent in the face of the Armenian genocide, as they were silent in the face of Hitler/Nazism (why? They were trying to save lives – remind yourselves how many died due to their silence), as they were and are silent in the face of communism and too many have adopted communism as their ideology without outright saying it. Today they are silent in the face of islam. I am sure – in fact, positive – that many were silent as the Islamic hordes hit their countries/towns/cities for centuries prior and that is why so many peoples succumbed to islam either as a dhimmi or as a moslem and both ways condemned their future children to islam.

        As a supporter of the persecuted church, this is becoming more evident with every passing week. Who is standing firm on Jesus Christ the Rock through intense suffering and even death, and who is being swept off by every passing wave that offers an easy way out but is ultimately deadly? Who are the true shepherds of their flocks and who are the hirelings?

        All strength to those few shepherds who will defend the Faith in the face of opposition from the world and the devil. Let us make no mistake, today we are beginning to re-live the First Century.

    Hi Angemon,
    “I have no idea why people nowadays believe Jesus taught his followers to be meek”
    Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth

    “Also, we must understand what “meek” means. The Greek word translated “meek” is praeis and refers to mildness, gentleness of spirit, or humility. Other forms of this Greek word are used elsewhere in the New Testament, including James 1:21 and James 3:13. Meekness is humility toward God and toward others. It is having the right or the power to do something but refraining for the benefit of someone else. Paul urged meekness when he told us “to live a life worthy of the calling [we] have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love” (Ephesians 4:1–2).”

    The word ‘meek’ has changed in widespread meaning in English since the KJV was printed. The NASB says ‘blessed are the gentle for they shall inherit the earth.’

    Solemn supermen and imperial diplomatists are proud of restraining their anger. He never restrained His anger. He flung furniture down the front steps of the Temple, and asked men how they expected to escape the damnation of Hell…..― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

      Hi RT,
      Interesting linguistic analysis

      What is your view on the many tenets of Christ most Christians do not follow, expressed either by Jesus directly or later by Paul?

      (paraphrasing here, forgive me if my wording is a bit inaccurate)

      Turn the other cheek if hit

      If stolen from, give more

      Sell belongings and give to the poor

      A rich man will not get into heaven

      No sex outside marriage

      Homosexuality is a sin

      Love your enemy

      Pray for those who persecute you

      Do not get divorced

      A woman is to a man as a man is to god

      Women are to be silent in church and derive their church matters from a man

      In my experience most self identifying Christians do not follow many or most of these tenets, sometimes simply ignoring them, sometimes in a disingenuous cycle of sinning and asking for forgiveness, sometimes as a conscious rejection of the tenets.

      In your view what is the general level of adherence to Islamic texts among self identifying Muslims?

        How can you say *most* Christians when you don’t know *most* Christians?
        You have such an elevated sense of yourself, setting yourself up to judge people you have never met on the basis of what you *think* in your admitted ignorance of Scripture as to what Jesus commanded and what He meant by each, and saying that *most* Christians don’t live by those commands.
        Since you don’t know *most* Christians, whether they have ever been divorced, had relations outside marriage, sell their belongings and give to the poor or turn their cheek when hit…it is impossible for you to prove your claim of *most* Christians not following Christ’s commands.

        You are not privy to anyone’s prayer unless they speak aloud and you hear, and if so, that has to be a very, very tiny *minority*….much like what is claimed of *violent muslims*….
        Therefore, your claims that *most* Christians don’t pray according to what the Bible says, is a lot of rot. You don’t know for what *most* Christians pray. Nor do you know whom they love.

        Now, I will do as Jesus said, and “not give what is holy to dogs, or throw pearls before swine.”
        I have read your drivel, and thought other times of replying to you, but this is the last time.
        May the God of Heaven give you what He decides that you deserve.

    Really? Are you sure that any nation has leadership so asinine, hypocritical, idiotic, and incompetent to do something like that unaware that Islam’s writings are every bit as offensive to Christianity? A government leader of any nation would have to have his head shoved up his butt pretty far to make such a ruling. Same for any judge. Ireland, what do you say? Is this you, or is it just a bad urban legend?

    Perhaps it’s time to promote contests everywhere for people to prepare artwork depicting Mohammad burning in hell with the devil. Perhaps categories for terrifying, humorous–for how funny the artwork is, cartoon style, impressionistic, surreal, and most likely to offend a terrorist.

    And perhaps a special award should be granted for those depicting government officials and judges involved in the persecution in a most recognizable way together with Mohammad in the flames.

    For something offensive, perhaps a beard of bacon and hat of pork chops, or depicting Mohammad’s head on a pig’s body or a Koran in a pig’s trough. And all done with the hope that terrorists will surface and be killed off by police and military if it can be done strategically.

    Perhaps the art could contain a Queerran at the bottom of a urinal or toilet.

    And then let the boneheads of Ireland complain that Islam is being offended.

    After all, wasn’t the artwork offending Christians with a crucifix in urine done with government money? Weren’t a load of Bibles sent to the military burned for fear of the terrorists while everyone was up in arms about a single pastor who wanted to protest by burning one Queerran?

    Isn’t it time we get sick and tired and angry being held under the thumbs of terrorists?

    The man is exactly right. Islam is a satanic religion, their prophet even got messages from the devil and past them off as from God he later claimed that Satan fooled him, here is a so called prophet of God who cant even tell a message from the Lord from a message from the the Devil. I have got nothing against Muslims only Islam but at the same time I dont trust them either, they are are taught in the Quran to be friendly to none believers but keep their distance, I know where their loyalties are when push comes to shove. The pastor is right and I really hope they try to jail him, they will be lighting the touch paper to a mighty fire if they do.

    Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone lived their lives like Jesus, unfortunately all the Christians and others in the middle east who ” turn the other cheek ” will most likely get their throats cut.

      albert: ‘Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone lived their lives like Jesus, unfortunately all the Christians and others in the middle east who ” turn the other cheek ” will most likely get their throats cut.’

      Yes, and Jesus Christ, the sinless, perfect, Son of God, was crucified – the most horrendous way to die ever devised by man.

      Right now, Christians in the Middle East and other Islamic (& Communist) nations are being imprisoned just for being followers of Christ. They are being brutally tortured in indescribably filthy prisons, beaten to a pulp, starved, denied visits from their families, denied medical attention for sickness, wounds or internal injuries, and often endure psychological torture as well. Sometimes they lie chained to their beds, easy prey for any sadistic monster to take it out on them for not giving up their faith. Sometimes they spend weeks or months in solitary confinement in underground pits. Denial of any kind of justice is the norm. Getting their throats cut would be an easy way out, believe me. But the sadists in the prisons would not have their Christian playthings to torture, so they prefer they stay there until they die of disease or as a their injuries.

      There are currently between 150-200 million Christians suffering persecution of some kind today. Deaths in prison are common – 164,000 per annum at the latest count.

      As the apostle Paul said, ‘…it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.
      For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.’ (Philippians 1:20-21)

    Pastor McConnell is right…let’s just say “You Will Know Them by Their Fruits – and Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” That’s Islam in a nutshell. Since Islam was invented after the monotheistic religions of Judaism and Christianity were well established in the Middle East and Egypt, it seems logical that Satan was jealous and decided to masquerade as God and invent his own Satanic religion and used Mohammed, the pedophile prophet, as his dupe order to destroy mankind. The worshipers of Satan, called Muslims, have done a pretty good job of destroying Christianity in the Middle East and want to destroy the remaining Jews in Israel. Islam is the scourge of mankind today. It has a foothold in the West thanks to the Leftists who embrace atheism and anything that is anti-Christian and anti-Western civilization. The Left wing crazies also don’t care if Christians are persecuted or if Israel is annihilated. I hate Islamofascism. I hate Nazism. I hate the KKK. I hate Communism. Let’s just call that hate speech.

      Pastor Dave,

      Your insightful comment is one of the best I have seen on JW for quite some time. Yes, with knowledge the great Satan can be defeated. Satan takes the form of false religions like Islam, communism etc.

      This link shows Satan and his influence .

        His conclusion seem to be that just as we have evolved & matured, so has satan & demonic activity. To me evolution & anti-Christ teaching in the schools is the sophisticated approach he takes now & need a more practice approach in resisting him. (along with much prayer for guidance). But the less active the Christians, the more blatant the demonic activity. I think.

          Hi Harbidoll,
          “satan & demonic activity. To me evolution & anti-Christ teaching in the schools is the sophisticated approach he takes now”

          So, evolution education is of satan and demonic.

          You are a Classic Christian Crackpot. Fortunately, your side loses in court every time and our public school biology textbooks continue to teach the scientific fact and theory of biological evolution.

    Free speech in the UK is more important than the lives of the politicians, courts and police who are bringing this action against an innocent man.
    Just obeying orders is no excuse any more for those public employees involved in this, and they should expect to pay for their crimes.
    If free speech does not offend someone it is not worth speaking.

    let’s demarcate. We are known as. Christian country. Whilst many may not profess faith in Christ and may in fact practice other forms of religious worship it is well known that in every so called civilised society there are radical factions. However I know that as a Christian nation, so called, we have historically committed some seriously bad atrocities and these have been gross errors. But it is safe to say based on irrefutable evidence that certain elements and factions of Islam are preaching murderous slanderous lies encouraging the killing of Christians and any other does not condone their teachings. These so called preachers and teachers need to be arrested and locked up because they encourage hatred, violence, intolerance and violent and disrtive behaviour. It has to stop. We need to pray more and be u afraid to speak out.

    Pastor Mconnel, is a brave and courageous Christian, I applaud his stand.thank God for him, and his courage. 72 times in the Koran it incites Jihad. It’s so called soldiers! Shoot to death, tourists in their swimming costumes! Bring down Tower blocks, with 1000,s in it . Kidnap and rape and ensllave, women all over this world.
    The Koran, loads men with hate for women, hate for all non Muslims, hate for Christians and Jews.
    NOT ONE bit of writing ever EVER PREDICTED Muhumad !
    Except by himself!! Look at third last Surra! Not allowed to question!

    345 PROPHECIES FULLED THE COMING OF JESUS. Over 4000 years.

    Hasn’t anyone ever stopped to ponder, that since Islam relaunched its global Jihad, EVERYDAY, EVery hour across the whole earth, Muslims are killing, enslaving , trying to commandeer, the rest of the world..
    Just who are the refugee boat people! Who are they fleeing from? Muslims fleeing from Muslims, rescued by non Muslims!
    It’s in their book, on nearly, very page! Jihad., WAR!

    Under current British law they would have had to Try to prosecute Winston Churchill for his appraisal of Islam.
    MUHUMAD broke every ONE , EVERY SINGLE ONE, OF GODS TEN COMMANDMENTS: Historical Fact.
    And he is a messenger……FOR WHOM! Defiantly NOT FOR EL SHADDIA…
