“Last week the Archbishop of Canterbury said there was ‘no evidence’ to support claims the Church of England was ‘subverting the asylum system’ by allowing spurious conversions to Christianity.”
Here’s some, Welby, old sod.
“Clapham chemical attacker Abdul Ezedi given Muslim burial despite controversial Christianity conversion,” by Jacob Phillips, The Standard, March 27, 2024:
Clapham chemical attacker Abdul Ezedi was given a Muslim funeral and burial, despite claiming to have converted to Christianity.
Ezedi’s body was found in the river Thames in February, ending a major manhunt after he was suspected of dousing his ex-girlfriend with alkali when he pounced on her and her children, aged eight and three, in Clapham in January.
He had previously been granted asylum by a judge who accepted he was a Christian convert despite him failing basic questions about the religion and also being a convicted sex offender.
Court documents show that a key factor in Ezedi being granted asylum was his baptism at Grange Road Baptist Church in Jarrow, South Tyneside in 2018.
A raft of previously confidential documents have disclosed how Ezedi was granted asylum by a judge who accepted he was a Christian convert despite him failing basic questions about the religion and also being a convicted sex offender.
They reveal he could not even answer basic Home Office questions about Christianity, wrongly claiming that the Old Testament was about Jesus Christ and that one of the Apostles was called Jacob.
Asked what God created on the third day, he answered: “Good Friday and Easter Sunday and Resurrection Day.”
Home Office officials told the tribunal they believed Ezedi was prepared to “use religion for his own ends” in order to secure asylum.
However, Judge O’Hanlon, the immigration judge, said that although Ezedi had lied in other aspects of his claim, that did not “automatically mean that his evidence in relation to his claimed conversion could not be believed”.
The BBC reports that Ezedi’s funeral was held at a mosque in west London, and he was given a Muslim burial at a cemetery in east London on March 11.
It is believed the request for the burial came from his friends and family, and that he was not known to the mosque that buried him.
The mosque is understood to frequently conduct funerals and burials for asylum seekers who die alone.
In a ruling November 10 2020, the judge said Ezedi had “undergone a genuine conversion from his former Muslim faith to Christianity” and that he would be at risk if he returned to Afghanistan….
Last week the Archbishop of Canterbury said there was “no evidence” to support claims the Church of England was “subverting the asylum system” by allowing spurious conversions to Christianity.
Ian Senior says
The Archbishop Justin Welby is not defending our Christian Lands from Islam.
SC says
Church officials have always been gullable. The higher the rank the less in touch with reality they are. As for the judge they seem to be immune to all concerns for the safety of the majority. I just hope he is rotting in hell with his 72 hags
somehistory says
A few months ago, I read, and then posted here on a page of JW, the words of a pastor who was expected to participate in the practice of allowing mozlums to pretend to convert in order to stay in country.
The man outlined what the pastor at the church had been doing, and what he was then expected to do. He didn’t want to take part in the farce. He also stated that a mozlum took money from the other mozlums who were pretending to convert, seeing the payoff with his own eyes..
welby is a liar. He has proven that time and again. He’s a false shepherd and as such, he leads people astray from the faith. He seems to be just as cozy as the ‘pope’ with mozlums.

Somehistory, do you still have that link? It sounds like an important–and very disturbing–article.

I’ll see if I can find it, g. If so, I’ll post it.

This is the article. Can’t go very far on the page now, though, unless I subscribe.
“‘I refuse to be complicit in baptism dishonesty’
Reverend Matthew Firth tells how he wanted to hit stop button on the ‘conveyor belt’ of asylum seekers converting to Christianity”
In 2018, when the Reverend Matthew Firth took up his new post at St Cuthbert’s, the church which has been at the heart of the north-eastern market town of Darlington since the 12th century, he was eager to bring new souls to the faith he passionately believes in…”

Eyes open says
Islamic law allows Muslims to lie when the goal is permissible. Islamic law also requires Muslims to lie when the goal is obligatory, such as in furthering Islam. It even specifically allows Muslims to lie and claim they are Christian, so long as they do not believe in Christianity in their heart.
See the Reliance of the Traveler. The English translation of sharia law, certified by all major branches of Islam as accurate.
CrusadesWereRight says
Something I don´t understand about this story:
If the guy was baptized at Grange Road Baptist Church in Jarrow, then what has that got to do with the Church of England? Surely it is the Baptist Church that should be explaining itself?
gravenimage says
The Church of England is very influential in Britain–and in helping set immigration policy.
It is not even clear if Abdul Ezedi actually converted to Christianity and was baptized at a Baptist Church–but the Archbishop of Canterbury has chosen to believe all these claims without any evidence.
Gamzu says
As it happens, the guy wasn’t totally wrong when he said one of the apostles was named Jacob. James son of Zebedee’s actual name in Hebrew was almost certainly Ya’akov, i.e., Jacob. Same with Jesus’s brother James, who headed the Christian community in Jerusalem until his death in 62 AD. I doubt this guy knew any of that, but it would be interesting to learn how the name “James” is rendered in an Arabic translation of the Bible and whether it is the same as the Old Testament patriarch Jacob.
gravenimage says
As you say, Gamzu, *very* unlikely that he was making this obscure and little-known point, given how far off everything else he said was.
Mateen Elass says
Gamzu,
In answer to your question about the way “James” is written in the Arabic NT, it is render Ya’akub, following both Hebrew and Greek versions of the name.

UK: Chemical attacker given Muslim burial after claiming to have converted to Christianity and being granted asylum
………………………………….
Doesn’t sound like any kind of Christian to me…
Paul says
Why would his ‘friends and family, request, and why would a mosque, allow an Islamic burial for an apostate?
England Invaded says
A charity raised £6000 for this maggots funeral.
Buried under a false name – so people can’t dig up the turd and thro him in the sea where millions should end up.
Note, council across the UK spend millions every year for muzzees to expand their cemeteries.
While white British have to consider cremation due to space and costs.
They often claim the cemeteries are for everyone, how likely does everyone think that is.
Rick Smith says
Why does this maggot get an ‘honorable’ Islamic burial after what he did to that poor mother/kids?
What we should be doing is treating Muslim bodies the same contempt they have towards us.
Muslims believe touching pork is haram…so bury them with pig carcasses. Or put their bodies in buildings that are set for demolition…include living terrorists…so they can experience what the 911 victims experienced.
Until we learn to stop treating Muslims and their evil rotten religion with respect, Muslims will continue to bully and manipulate us. They need to be sent a strong message that we don’t like them or their hateful ideology and this country is not a good place for them to settle in.
They will get the message believe me; I’ve spoken to Muslims firsthand about such issues. If they feel hostility from the population they will leave on their own.
By showing reverence to their practices/rituals, Muslims think we’re submitting to their religion which is ofc what they want.
Rick Smith says
Just imagine how many more Ezedi’s are out there waiting to be discovered…waiting to make their mark on the world by horrifically maiming, torturing, killing people around them.
While our political elites are blissfully having their fancy soiree’s…they’re totally oblivious to the thousands maybe millions of Islamic monsters that are set to unleash their hate and rage on innocents citizens going about their lives.
With the influx of unvetted, unneutered, rabid, military-aged Muslim/African men, perhaps former inmates (for all we know), invading western nations by the millions, I expect the violence against us by these Koranimal mobs is going to skyrocket.
I bet there are many horror stories happening daily and we only hear about a fraction of them. We need a revolution to fix this mess.
Christopher Watson says
It is doubtful whether any strong leader will come along to challenge and defeat the Islamic takeover of the UK. The Church of England, the Conservative Party and the Labour Party bow and scrape to the Islamists every time. When a teacher is singled out by Islamists they go into hiding; the Islamists are never punished.
The dress, the treatment of women, the murder of anyone who leaves the religion, their refusal to debate their disgusting book, their rape and torture of 1000s of girls in England and many other crimes are ignored by our establishment. Even Parliament itself attempted to ‘turn the other cheek’ when the Speaker attempted to hide from the Islamists. That’s how far we’ve fallen. Change the laws IN OUR FAVOUR. After all WE are the majority and we pay THEIR wages.
