Mr Miyagi Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I wonder how many Muslim countries would allow Christians to spread the Christian word like this? Oh dear. What a daft comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty27 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) I remember the subject has been brought up in court cases. It looks like you are cherry picking undated quotes in a poor attempt to add weight to your inaccurate statement. The education secretary stated "Schools must teach pupils that Britain is a Christian country" I think the words of the current education secretary are more accurate than a guy who rides a bike in Sheffield. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/12070607/Schools-must-teach-children-that-Britain-is-a-Christian-country.html This is an interesting story. Judge bans a British father from taking his son to church... because his mother is a Muslim. The father – a non-practising Muslim who has forged close connections to his local Christian community and is divorced from the boy's mother – has been warned that he could be denied access to the nine-year-old if he attempts to take him to church or to a leisure centre it runs. The father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said his ex-wife insisted their son, whom she is bringing up in the Muslim faith, could 'become confused' if he is subjected to other religions. 'My son is being indoctrinated and the only way I can show him other things is to take him to other places,' said the father. 'If I don't show him other types of life he will become just like a dumb sheep. I want him to see and learn about different cultures. 'This is nothing short of brain-washing him. Already he is telling me that I have a black heart, that I am a bad man, because I am not a practising Muslim. I am heartbroken that I have to keep him away from activities with local children. 'He is being fed the same lies I was as a child and I want better for him. This judge was so busy being politically correct that she has ignored the influence of myself as a loving father. I am terrified that he will stop wanting to see me because of his indoctrination.' So our courts are now standing in the way of integration and supporting indoctrination.

Gamston Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The words of any Education Secretary are just their opinion, surely that is obvious to anyone. Their opinions are not law until they've made it on to the statute books. The opinion of this map of religions of the World is Britain is a Christian country. http://www.mapsofworld.com/world-religion-map.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppet2 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Oh dear. What a daft comment. Let's hope another 7/7 attack doesn't happen on a London bus by an extremist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Arctor Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The opinion of this map of religions of the World is Britain is a Christian country. http://www.mapsofworld.com/world-religion-map.htm OK, well in the space of a few hours we've gone from the High Court says Britain is Christian country to a random map says it is. The latter is a more realistic assertion at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbeliever Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Clearly we are de jure a christian country since we have an established church. As an atheist I'm rather glad to be living in a de facto secular country. I dare say non-anglican christians, not to mention those from other faiths are rather glad of this as well.

The quotes were in reference to the claim that you made, where you got it entirely backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 You not arguing that we should change our society to be more like Saudi Arabia? Not just Saudi Arabia. Dubai, one of the most welcoming Arabic nations which allows Christian churches, will arrest anyone trying to promote any other religion other than Islam. Lets face it, Islam does not like competition, no matter which Islamic country we are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it, Islam does not like competition, no matter which Islamic country we are talking about. I think we're all well aware of the problems with Islamic governance by now. This is not a race to the bottom. We (secularists) can and should do better. That's how we win. Edited May 10, 2016 by unbeliever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
