UK: Baby Jesus statue beheaded, Town Hall declines to act because it was time for lunch

Dec 26, 2018 11:46 am By Robert Spencer

The nativity scene was placed there by the British Pakistani Christian Association. Let’s see. What group has a 1,400-year hostility to Christianity, persecutes Pakistani Christians, and practices beheading?

And that may be why the Redbridge Town Hall refused to take any action on this matter. To have done so would have been “Islamophobic.”

Do you think the Town Hall members would have been in such a hurry to get to lunch if Muslim symbols had been desecrated? Neither do I.

“Baby Jesus beheaded in Ilford,” by Ellena Cruse, Ilford Recorder, December 21, 2018 (thanks to Searchlight Germany):

A nativity scene has been “destroyed by idiots” outside the Christmas tree in the High Road.

The statues were installed and paid for by the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA) to remind residents about the real meaning of Christmas and while the Virgin Mary and Joseph were smashed, the infant Jesus got decapitated.

One resident, who is not religious, reported the crime to the Recorder and described the incident as “religious desecration”.

“It is three days before Christmas and this happens,” she said.

“Any other religion and there would be an outcry and it would have been fixed already.

“It is a desecration of a religious icon – I am disgusted.”

She reported the incident to Redbridge Town Hall but claims they refused to deal with it as it was not their nativity scene and were about to go to lunch….

    Just when you think Muslims can’t go any lower, they out-do themselves yet again.

      Dec 26, 2018 at 12:14 pm

      Do you think Muslims truly revere Jesus and Mary ??? Neither do I.

      First they will behead statues and next they will behead people.

      UK is caught in a DEADLY, PARALYSING HYSTERIA of deference to a DEATH CULT and a RAPE CULT.

      • Renate says

        Dec 26, 2018 at 12:27 pm

        The UK doesn’t, or at least, it didn’t have to go through all this. When they saw what Muslims were like, the government could have said, “O.K. Time’s up. Back to your own countries now.” It’s incredibly stupid and corrupt to let things get to the point they’re at now and to also let it continue indefinitely. Unbelievable.

          SE is right. NOT ALL Brits are taking it lying down, but the ones who speak out are paying a price.

          The smugness of the uninformed is monumental. The majority of Western people need to understand 3 or 4 ‘essential’ doctrines of Islam to realize it is a death cult and a rape cult. Most Muslims hide and conceal this and do nothing to stop the jihad-terrorists and rapists.

      Ask yourselves WHY they do it:

      Sahih Bukhari 73.224 – Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “The most awful name in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (King of kings).”

      Here’s why allah is so scared. The King of kings is Jesus Christ:

      These kings have one purpose: to yield their power and authority to the beast. They will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones. – Revelation 17:13-14

      He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God. The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and pure, follow Him on white horses. And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God, the Almighty. And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: King of kings and Lord of lords. – Revelation 19:13-17

      allah of the quran HATES Jesus Christ!

      To Him who loved us and WASHED US FROM OUR SINS in His OWN BLOOD … Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty … And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I AM HE WHO LIVES, and WAS DEAD, and behold, I AM ALIVE FOREVERMORE. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.” – Revelation 1:5,7-8,17-18

      It is an open season for Christians everywhere and Jesus, Mary and Christians are losing respect and experiencing disdain and horror all across the world!

      Even deadly Israeli missiles hit Damascus two days ago, on December 25th as tens of thousands of beleaguered Syrian Christians, including women and children were out in the streets celebrating Christmas! More below:

        Note that christianblood has no problem with Israelis–including Israeli Christians–being menaced by Jihad missiles, but is enraged over their defending themselves.

          Graven, Israel fired dozens of missiles on tens of thousands of Christian celebrating Christmas in Damascus! That is NOT defense, that is an attack terrorizing Christians celebrating on Christmas day!
          I am sure you are intelligent enough to know the difference between attacking and defending.

        • gravenimage says

          Dec 27, 2018 at 10:04 pm

          Not even RT makes the obviously absurd claim that Israel was targeting Christians–instead, the target–as stated in the article itself, was a logistics compound.

          And the claim that the Israeli defense was “deadly” is also false–again, per the very RT article that christianblood linked to.

          That christianblood has to keep lying about little Israel is very telling.

          This dangerous attack did happen on Christmas day and it not only endangered people celebrating Christmas in Damascus but two civilian airplanes that were in the air on Beirut and Damascus were also endangered and Syrian air defense missiles had to be delayed in order not hit those civilians airplanes. Remember, the 15 Russian military personnel shot down and killed (mistakenly) by Syrian air defense missiles after Israeli war planes hid behind their larger plane a few months ago? The same thing could have have happen here and hundreds could have lost their lives! You look this up on your own, Graven!

    England and the entire UK is lost. PM Churchill is not resting well today! This is completely outrageous
    on too many levels to count!! And the fact that it is being ingnored by the British government
    and local police is equally disturbing. Who will save England this time??
    Not the USA!!
    God save the Queen!

    • Save Europe says

      Dec 26, 2018 at 9:15 pm

      We were never invaded Jay. You probably mean France and other countries.

      Don’t get me wrong – I totally respect and thank both the USA and EVERY one of your vets. I say that sincerely. I also thank our own British vets, the Canadians and free Poles in the British Air Force. There are also many others.

      Whether one likes to admit it or not – both Hitler’s arrogant stupidity in trying to out do Napoleon, by invading Russia on the very same day, during Winter was also another reason why the allies won. Along with the Russian Army. Then one has to consider how Petroleum extracted from the Caspian also aided us all against the Nazis.

      Ultimately, many factors dude.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 26, 2018 at 10:25 pm

        Winston Churchill was indeed very glad to see America enter the war.

        My mother was a young teletype operator with the Ministry of Information when the news came over the radio. Everyone cheered and hugged each other. The supervisor handed round a toast, even though they were on duty at the time, to celebrate.

        Britain standing virtually alone for over two years was amazing, though–and I am not sure the war could have been won had she fallen to the Nazis.

        • Save Europe says

          Dec 27, 2018 at 8:04 pm

          I don’t disagree with you G, but you have to understand how so many Brits – even now – get a little bit annoyed (understating it) how some Americans always brag how they ‘saved’ the UK but don’t call out mainland Western European countries.

          Ultimately – it was about numbers. If we had the same population size as the USA, we would have been fine.

          Again, let me restate – genuine admiration for the USA.

        • gravenimage says

          Dec 27, 2018 at 9:22 pm

          Please note, Save Europe, I was *praising* England for standing alone against the Fascist war machine for so long. I am *not* one of those people who sneers at Britain and says dismissive things about the US waltzing in and saving them from the Nazis.

          And while I am proud of America’s incomparable contribution to the war effort, I know we dragged our heels for the longest time before committing, which is much less praiseworthy.

          I can see the situation from both the British and American points of view–in part, certainly, because my mother and aunt were English (both passed away in recent years; my aunt just last year at 97), and both served in the British army as young women during WWII. My mother came to the US after the war, and my father is American–as am I.

          But I also know a lot about history–I really think that both Britain and the US were vital to the fight against Fascism. I don’t think it could have been accomplished without them both. I also know that Churchill thought the same.

        We were never invaded Jay.
        Actually the USA did invade the British Isles, but we never told them we were doing it.
        Yanks are overpaid, oversexed, and over here.
        Brits are underpaid, undersexed, and under Eisenhower.
        Right now, I imagine the Yanks are looking really good compared to the Muslims.

          Dec 27, 2018 at 8:11 pm

          A rather pseudo intellectual sarcastic attempt at humour. Ultimately, it’s best that like minded people – from whichever Western country – side with one another, rather than seek to be devisive in some disingenuous and supercilious manner. Think about it. Bigger and more problematic matters to deal with methinks!

    I guess we really do not know for sure the group who did this, but I doubt if it was the Amish.
    Seems like a Muslim Christmas Celebration.

    Are the moslims who say they “revere” and “love Jesus” upset by this? Of course not. They may be passing out candy and shouting.

    Now if they found bacon on a barracks door step….or heard someone say they “dislike moslims”…call the police and the perps would be hunted down and jailed immediately.

    Off Topic … would make a good article on Jihad Watch

    The testimony of faith for newborn children in Islam is called the Shahadah. It is similar to baptism in the Christian sense because it serves as the infant’s introduction to the faith. The text of the Shahadah is recited into the baby’s left and right ears. Is this a violation of the baby’s human rights?

    Former Irish President Mary McAleese has said that with Islam being the fastest growing religion in Ireland, Muslims must be treated with respect …

    “If your parents are Catholic and you are baptized in a Catholic Church, that baby becomes a member for life — according to the teaching of the Church — of the Church, and it has rights and obligations,” she said.

    The same goes for Islam … Mary McHypocrite has no problem with Islam … the text of the Shahadah is sure no violation of the baby’s human rights … all religions are equal, only one religion is more equal …

    If you had looked around, you would have found it’s the UN that’s pushing to replace folks with millions of Muslim immigrants. They have teamed up with the EU aiming at a One World Government, who in turn have got the Barcelona Declaration signed by all nations. You would then see why boat and lorryloads have been waved in and given immediate priority! http://balder.org/avisartikler/Barcelona-Declaration-Euro-Mediterranean-English.php

    And HOW hyper-psychotic would Koran-adherent-Muslims have gotten, had this been desecration of something THEY hold “sacred”? Those hungry lunchbreakers might’ve been forced to EAT eachothers’ TONGUES before being DECAPITATED!

    On a HAPPY HOLIDAY note: I hope ALL of you have been equally pleased & inspired by a NOTABLE INCREASE in individual people & businesses loudly & proudly proclaiming “MERRY CHRISTMAS” this year, with pointed, cheerful BOLDNESS! I dare say, Christians seem to be Standing Up to reclaim our Equal Humanity again! I sensed a definite “Brotherhood” when out & about…as 1 who faithfully, purposely, wears my antique cross for ALL to see – & will to my very death, if so Called – I’m thrilled to note it’s acted this season as an IRONIC “SAFESPACE”, letting my fellow Christians know I will neither chastise nor bite if offered “Have a Blessed Christmas!”, but RECIPROCATE with a grateful, exuberant, “GLORIOUS CHRISTMAS to YOU!”

    British Pakistani Christian Association–so why isn’t Asia Bibi allowed to move to Britain with her family? With their limited education (thanks to the general Pakistani treatment of its Christian minority), they would be greatly assisted by a supportive ethnic community with integration into the life of the host country, and this one would be absolutely perfect. Mrs May, you are a dolt.

    Just disgusting.

    And if they don’t think that beheading was an especially disturbing threat, they are deeply stupid. The smashing of some of the other figures *may* plausibly have just been destructive vandals–but *beheading* the Jesus figure? This was a message from Muslims.

    Redbridge Town Hall? That’s my Town Hall!!! Ilford was once a very neat, desirable suburb of London with well-attended churches of all denominations virtually on every street corner, and an Edwardian Sunday afternoon in Valentine’s Park looked like a scene from Mary Poppins.Up to fifty or sixty years ago, anyone could walk around the streets day or night and be 100% safe. The impressive Town Hall was built back in the early 20th. century to celebrate the town’s new civic status, and around Christmas time there would be brass bands playing carols outside to entertain the shoppers. Now the place is a litter-strewn mess, the current local residents (like Anjem Choudhary) would think that a brass band is a metal thing you put round your neck, and you can’t even leave a nativity figurine outside an official building without it being decapitated (no doubt a new local custom – goes with the current crime figures in the area). By the way, the Town Hall employee, as Mr. Spencer rightly observes, probably wouldn’t have known what the nativity display was about and probably have thought that it had been nicked from a local junk shop – not worth the bother when one is in a hurry to get one’s halal sandwich. Thank God there are plenty of ways of getting around the east side of London and avoiding Ilford. I think I’ve conveniently forgotten the way to get there.

      I found a picture of the beautiful Ilford Redbridge Town Hall:

        Oh yes, I remember what it looks like now (bit of sarcasm there!), but it needs a bit of a cleanup, doesn’t it? And it’s flying a Union Jack! Amazing! But that will probably be a black flag before much longer at this rate.

    AGAIN, One should not blame Muslims for their crazy acts. They are full of hate, which is instilled in their hearts from day one of their useless lives. The Koran is a solid proof of the source of their criminality.
    IT IS THE WESTERNERS TO BE BLAMED. Why they allow such vicious criminals in their countries? That what is really bugging me. England ceased to exist as one of the pious Christian nations. It is sad very sad.

      Dec 27, 2018 at 8:17 pm

      You’re both wrong and right.

      Muslims are to be blamed for being hateful!

      British leaders (past and present) and their Leftist Cultural Marxist voters also should be blamed – solely.
