In a shocking declaration, the UK Home Office “has claimed Christianity is not a religion of peace after turning down a Christian covert’s bid for asylum in an ‘unbelievably offensive’ letter quoting bloodthirsty passages from the Bible…..The Iranian national was turned down for asylum in 2016, with the Home Office claiming his conversion from Islam was inconsistent’ with his claim Christianity is a peaceful religion.”
The Home Office also mocked the Iranian national for believing in Christ:
“You affirmed in your AIR that Jesus is your saviour, but then claimed that He would not be able to save you from the Iranian regime….It is therefore considered that you have no conviction in your faith and your belief in Jesus is half-hearted.”
The passages cited in the Iranian national’s rejection letter were from the book of Revelation, as well as Leviticus and other parts of the Old Testament. Nice try, but Revelation is a prophetic account, not a call to violence; also, there is no global problem of Christians and Jews citing violent verses from Revelation or the Old Testament and acting upon them. Jihadists, however, are citing the Qur’an to justify their violence, and doing so repeatedly and openly.
Despite this, the UK government continues to allow in the worst jihadist hate preachers, who further the jihad against its own people. Over 100 jihadist hate speakers were invited in and hosted at British universities during the academic year of 2016 and 2017. And as previously reported on Jihad Watch:
- Britain has a steadily lengthening record of admitting jihad preachers without a moment of hesitation.
- Syed Muzaffar Shah Qadri’s preaching of hatred and jihad violence was so hardline that he was banned from preaching in Pakistan, but the UK Home Office welcomed him into Britain.
- The UK Home Office also admitted Shaykh Hamza Sodagar into the country, despite the fact that he has said: “If there’s homosexual men, the punishment is one of five things. One – the easiest one maybe – chop their head off, that’s the easiest. Second – burn them to death. Third – throw ’em off a cliff. Fourth – tear down a wall on them so they die under that. Fifth – a combination of the above.”
- Theresa May’s relentlessly appeasement-minded government also admitted two jihad preachers who had praised the murderer of a foe of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws. One of them was welcomed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
- Nor does the UK admit only preachers of jihad terror. It admits jihad terrorists as well, even when it knows they are jihad terrorists. The Muslim migrant teen who bombed the London Tube told border officials that he was trained by ISIS, but was admitted anyway.
- Meanwhile, the UK banned three bishops from areas of Iraq and Syria where Christians are persecuted from entering the country.
The UK government also paid out $250,000 in taxpayer dollars to protect a jihad preacher and give him medical care in Jordan, while the “most dangerous” jihad preacher, Anjem Choudary, was released from prison.
Attacking Christianity to justify the welcoming of jihadists into the UK is appalling and reprehensible. And meanwhile, peaceful truth tellers are being banned from Britain, including the free speech activists Martin Sellner and Brittany Pettibone, Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller.
Now an apostate is facing death in Iran after being rejected by the Sharia-compliant UK. Legal expert Conor James McKinney stated:
“This case seems to be an extreme example of an individual official manufacturing a reason to refuse an asylum claim, and the Home Office acknowledges that it was out of line, but those working with asylum seekers do report horror stories almost as bad on a regular basis.”
“Christianity NOT a religion of peace HOME OFFICE says citing bloodthirsty passages,” by Paul Withers, Express, March 21, 2019:
THE Home Office has claimed Christianity is not a religion of peace after turning down a Christian covert’s bid for asylum in an “unbelievably offensive” letter quoting bloodthirsty passages from the Bible.
The Iranian national was turned down for asylum in 2016, with the Home Office claiming his conversion from Islam was “inconsistent” with his claim Christianity is a peaceful religion. In the rejection letter from the Government department, published by the Iranian’s immigration case worker this week, six passages from the Bible are listed, with a claim made that Revelations [sic] is filled with “images of revenge, destruction, death and violence”. The letter also uses six examples from searchable online holy book Bible Gateway, and quotes parts of The Book of Leviticus from the Old Testament.
The full statement below the verses says: “These examples are inconsistent with your claim that you converted to Christianity after discovering it is a peaceful religion, as opposed to Islam which contains violence, rage and revenge.”
Nathan Stevens, an immigration caseworker, posted excerpts from the letter on his Twitter page, launching into a stinging attack against the Home Office for the “unbelievably offensive diatribe”.
He wrote: “I’ve seen a lot over the years, but even I was genuinely shocked to read this unbelievably offensive diatribe being used to justify a refusal of asylum.
“Whatever your views on faith, how can a government official arbitrarily pick bits out of a holy book and then use them to trash someone’s heartfelt reason for coming to a personal decision to follow another faith.”
In another post on Twitter, Mr Stevens said his client will be appealing the decision and will resubmitting a complaint to the Home Office.
He referred to text from another rejection letter, and wrote: “You affirmed in your AIR that Jesus is your saviour, but then claimed that He would not be able to save you from the Iranian regime…..

THe difference is that the killing of the apocalypse in the revelation is done by the son of men and angels. The believer should fear the judgement. In Islam, it is to be started by the believers.
This make Christianity a factor for peace.

TELL THOSE IDIOTS OVER AT THE UK HOME OFFICE THAT…

THERE IS NOTHING VIOLENT IN CHRISTIANITY!
FIRST OF ALL WE ARE UNDER THE NEW COVENANT
SECOND OF ALL ANY ‘VIOLENCE’ IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IS JUST
THIRD OF ALL REVELATION IS GOD’S PUNISHMENT UPON THE EARTH FOR THEIR SINS
WHICH IS ALSO TOTALLY 100 % JUST AND EVEN OVERDO, EXACTLY FOR THINGS LIKE WHAT WAS JUST DONE BY THE UK HOME OFFICE! THEY WILL ALSO BE PUNISHED FOR THAT…
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO CAN’T SAVE THE ASYLUM SEEKER FROM IRAN,
THEY COULD BUT ARE UNWILLING… HENCE THE PENDING JUDGMENT!
THE ASYLUM SEEKER’S BLOOD WILL BE ON THEIR HANDS
JESUS CAN SAVE ANYONE FROM THAT AND PERHAPS HE STILL WILL, BUT IT IS AN HONOR TO SUFFER FOR JESUS AND HE SAID THAT WOULD HAPPEN… AS WE SEE ALL OVER LIKE IN THIS CASE!
IF I LIVED THERE I WOULD GO THERE MYSELF AND DELIVER THIS MESSAGE TO THEM PERSONALLY!

Anne Smith says
He doesn’t just work “out” of the Home Office, he is the Minister in charge of it.
Before him we had Theresa May in charge of the Home Office for SIX YEARS, during which Sharia courts multiplied all over the country and immigration reached record levels.
No surprise then, she personally intervened, it is said, to prevent the Christian woman Asia Bibi from obtaining sanctuary in Britain. May is probably the most hated woman in Britain at the moment, even though the MSM are united in protecting her by having black outs on news that shows her up – such as the signing of the Marrakesh Agreement which allows any number of migrants to come to Britain without restraint The MSM also has a news black out on UKIP the only party which genuinely wishes to leave the EU.

What extreme ignorance of the UK to make the claim the “Christianity is not a religion of peace.” For Jesus taught both peace and mercy as found in for example , Matthew 5:7-9.It’s Islam ,in reality, which is not ‘A religion of peace.”
To contrast the teaching of Jesus with the teaching that Ayatollah of Iran who had a terrible hand at setting up this current Islamic tyranny of Iran of the doctrines of Islam and violence is the following essay .
The first Muslim cleric and tyrant of rule and head this current Islamic regime of Iran ,Ayatollah Khomeini did come right out and state the truth ,for once, he declared “Islam grew with blood…The great prophet of Islam on one hand carried the Koran and in the other a sword… Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels.” Later Khomeini also said “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam is against war…Whenever good there is exist thanks to the sword and the shadow of the sword.” [1] Of course that is “good “as defined by this Ayatollah is Islam and things that are Islamic. As for his total endorsement of war for Islam on this subject he stands in opposition to the Person of Jesus Who taught “Blessed are the merciful: for they see God.” and “Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called children of God.” [2]
Furthermore, Ayatollah Khomeini also taught the “death should not be feared but welcomed as a means to fight and Allah.” Khomeini likewise when speaking to his Brainwashed Muslim followers he “tried to convince them that death is to be coveted and life shunned “ he taught that “death offered purification and the exalted status as a martyr.” [1] Of this three things should be made clear. First. Khomeini died and old man in his bed and he didn’t die “martyr “fighting for the cause of Allah” he just convinced and mind programed other people to do so , he didn’t practice what he taught , that coward. Second is words reflects other Muslim clerics be they mullahs imams of other ayatollahs about the exalted status of a “martyr” The empty lying false and false words As “We will honor you “ and You will go to paradise “ and “We are doing this for Allah.” That’s sure some strange “We” For none of the Muslim clerics die by engaging in deadly jihad attacks, even though they claim to believe that doing so is such grand and wonderful thing to do. What hypocrites they are. Third, this further exposes Islam as a death cult. Such teaching by those Muslim clerics is in strong contradiction to the Words of Jesus. Who taught “I am come that they might have life have it more abundantly.” [2]

I
n awful contrast ,Ayatollah Khomeini who was the Imam who was so powerful that he played large role in the establishment of the current Islamic tyranny of Iran which has the official title of “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” Khomeini had declared “ Jihad or Holy War ,which is for the conquest of [other ] countries and kingdoms , becomes incumbent after the formation of the Islamic State in the presence of the Imam or in accordance with his command. Then Islam makes it incumbent on all males…to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world… those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. The goal of this conquest would be to establish the hegemony of Islamic law.” [1]

Westman says
That Home Office rejection letter could only be penned by an Atheist or a Muslim. It was dripping with ulterior motive and animosity.
Paul J says
For sure , it was dripping with contempt and ridicule. Let’s face it ; islam has won the propaganda war in the west, I only hope and pray the physical one won’t be won by them. If it is we have a bleak future (of course those of us who have faith in Jesus Christ know it won’t be. The atheists have certainly let humanity down; too many Christians as well)
Kepha says
Aided and abetted by our so-smart worshipers of science, state, and self.
Walter Sieruk says
Its actually Islam that is religion of violence and war. To be more specific Islamic violence and war.
Strangely, there are many young people and strangely many older people, who are Westerns who live and the United Kingdom and United States as well other countries of the West are, no doubt sincere but very misinformed ,as in misled, therefore say ,because they believe it, that “Islam is a peaceful and non-violent religion .”
To those people the first and supreme Ayatollah Khomeini , who was the very head this current Islamic regime of Iran knows better stated about how he feels about those naïve Westerns .For he declared “Islam grew with blood….Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels” He also said “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1]
So, in other words Ayatollah Khomenei felt nothing but arrogant contempt for those people who say that his religion “Is a peaceful religion” and understand that they in ignorant and uninformed.
Therefore the West needs to wake up to the reality of the truth about the actual violent essence of this religion.

Walter Sieruk says
Since the subject of Iran , Islam and Christianity has been brought up ,every sane person knows and understand that ,unlike Islam, Christianity had nothing ,at all to do with the murderous terror affronts which occurred on September 11, 2001. By wicked contrast concerning Islam and Iran of the topic of 9/11 it should be be made known about that September 11, 2001 jihad murderous affront against both humankind and America the following might be interesting to some people. A type of thinking of many from Middle East is the sayings that “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” This type of Middle Eastern “philosophy” may explain, to a degree, how Muslims of two different branches of Islam which are hostile to each other can work together against what they perceive as a “common enemy.”
In this case the mullahs and other in power in Shi ‘ite Iran can work with the jihadists of al Qaeda against which they see as “The Great Satan” By that term they mean the United States of America. As the Muslim author, Rohan Gunaratna , explained in his book INSIDE AL QAEDA . For on page 198 it reveals that among different Islamic terror organizations that “Ideological tolerance and inter-group cohesion as a means confronting a common enemy.” So another author, Robert Spencer, in his book which is entitled THE COMPLETE INFIDEL’S GUIDE TO IRAN supply’s information about this topic. It has been keyboarded that this book reveals “Iran’s long –standing support of terrorists- including shocking evidence that Iran helped plain the 9/11 attack.”

The reasoning of the Home Office is clear. It’s as simple as the fact that the applicant criticized islam. In the Express article, there is an excerpt from the Home Office’s rejection letter as follows:
“The full statement below the verses says: “These examples are inconsistent with your claim that you converted to Christianity after discovering it is a peaceful religion, as opposed to Islam which contains violence, rage and revenge.”
So it appears to me the applicant’s real transgression was to criticize islam.

You are not alone. There are a lot of atheists around who understand that Christianity does not pose a threat to open societies, whereas Islam does.

The person at the Home Office who wrote that letter refusing asylum should at a minimum be fired for the grossest kind of incompetence. The most charitable interpretation of the letter is failure to understand that the Christian was in fact really in danger in Iran. If the official was unaware of that, he or she should be fired. And if the official was not unaware, and was prepared to see that Christian imprisoned or killed in Iran, then the official should be prosecuted in any and every way the law permits in this case.
R Russell says
The UK discriminates AGAINST Christian asylum seekers. It is documented in the official figures.

Of course, the Home Secy is a Muslim and is tipped to replace Theresa May as PM.

He wasn’t applying for asylum because he was a Christian per se but because he was an apostate from islam fleeing a muslim dominated country where the penalty for apostacy is death. Of course such subtleties are irrelevant when the decision maker has an obviously racist agenda.
This decision should provoke outrage. With luck (a lot of luck) it will cause a loud debate in Britain over the whole idea of islam being a “religion of peace”. The genie is out of the bottle. Islam can now be debated. It may even give cause to legal action against the gov’t. I hope the Christian community picks up the gauntlet and runs with it. Sadly I wouldn’t bet on it.

The secularization of a once-heavily Christian country leads to this sort of travesty. The home office document quite literally drips with venom. I will disagree that it reflects ignorance: it reflects knowledge that chooses to be highly selective and insistent on reading Christian Scripture through a militantly secularist lens. My own guess is that the official responsible for the statement cited may well have had a Christian upbringing, but rebelled, and is determined to establish his anti-Christian and EmCeePeeCee bonafides to those he now deems to be the radical “smart set”.
@Rarely, were I a young man, or had I the financial means, I would like to pick up the gauntlet and run with it. Here in the States, we have the Democrats urging the use of lawfare against Christians who refuse to celebrate perversion while treating Muslims, including anti-Semites and those who would through LGBTQ’s off buildings rather than merely call on them to repent, with kid gloves. These heirs of the 1960’s Berkeley Free Speech Movement have also made it plain that they wish to censor any voices that dissent from their program.

Oh yeah; I got blocked/censored for mentioning these “trannies and cross dressers” that are being allowed into the classrooms and libraries of third graders courtesy of their fascist teachers. Basically Mark Zuckerberg running interference for child abusers and child molesters like he does Palestinian terrorists.

Today a local left-leaning media woman got disillusioned to hear Barbara Streisand felt the latest men revealing things about Michael Jackson should shut up and more or less get over it as they had survived and gone on to have families.
Sounds like Barbara doesn’t think pedophilia is really all that bad? Could child marriage be next?

It is shocking to see the UK Home Office claim that Christianity is not a religion of peace. You have to search the Bible very hard to discover directions to cause harm and violence or death. There are reports of these sins, but unlike the Qur’an, the violence is proscribed not prescribed. It is a shameful decision to turn down a Christian covert’s bid for asylum for a blood-thirsty regime in Iran.
Kepha says
This all goes to show that a peasant or artisan in first century Asia Minor, Syria, or Macedonia was a better reader or hearer of a text than some twit who got an “ejjikashen” at Oxbridge.

Anne Marie Waters is right — the British really are living in the world of Orwell’s “1984”. Britain has become a police state in which the truth is what the government says it is; and the government says “Islam rules!”.
Anyone who would like to see sanity, truth, & common sense restored in the UK should join Anne Marie Waters’ For Britain party, and donate $$$ — even if you’re not a Brit. It’s easy. It’s smart. And all the cool kids are doin’ it.

The Home Office is where the Home Secy Sajid Javid works from. It used to be put out that he was a Non-Practising Muslim. I left that on the back burner.
When I read some time ago that he only ate halal slaughtered meat I had suspicions about his supposed ‘non-practising’ status.
Remember he was in charge when Aasia Bibi was refused asylum, when Asher Samson was sent back to Pakistan (and assaulted again) and now he is in charge when this letter is sent out which is full of out of context Bible verses.
Since he is being tipped as the next prime minister, we Brits need to decide who we want as prime minister. An anti-Semite or a Muslim, possibly using muruna.
If we ever needed a Christian revival it is now.
thebigW says
what’s a “non practicing Muslim”? is that like a “non practicing Nazi” or a “non practicing Communist”? I’d say it’s more like a “non practicing triple agent”

@R. Russel…Yes, there’s likely been no healthy changes – but note the incident happened in 2016 before Javid’s appointment. Sometimes Jihad Watch chooses to describe a less recent incident.
Ronyvo says
What ‘home office’ is that?!! It should be called ‘ignorance office’. It must be loaded with Muslims or Muslim supporters. This issue can be very easily settled. Compare the Holy Bible to the Satanic Koran. The overwhelming of peaceful verses in the Bible vs the overwhelming violent surahs in the Koran. It is that easy. And, this is done all the time now, but the problem is ‘let those who have ears let them hear’.
Yes and yes CHRISTIANITY IS A RELIGION OF PEACE AND LOVE..
Islam is a ‘religion’ of extreme violence and hate.

You forgot evolutionary materialism before the Anti-Christian secularism.

So all the ISIS Jihadis now work at the UK Home Office?

Who wrote that bullshit letter, a Muslim? We demand a name. Christians banned but ISIS approved. Britain is lost to the filth of Islam.
James C. says
If Christianity is not a religion of peace – what is Islam a religion of ?
Carol the 1st says
Islam is a cult of “stolen peace” (e.g. tradition has them auto-latching onto everything within the sight of Buraq or a modern-day mosque).

According to the article, it is an offense to support with money, carry the flag or display the symbol or support it with speech….words advocating for it, under the U.K.’s “terrorism Act of 2000.”

Just think about who might have written this, for a moment;
under the guise of Diversity and “reverse” discrimination.
WHO gets all the cushy government jobs, in a victimocracy?
Who gets preferential hiring treatment? “Minority Victims.”
It seems obvious a muslim “immigration official” wrote that.
The wolves have long been in charge of British hen houses!

Incompetence in action.

No, it’s an opportunity to mistreat a non-muslim human being. They seem to need a lot of this to make themselves feel taller.
