I do know that. Some because they have valid UK passports and family over here. Some, especially many of my colleagues, because we want their skills, some as economic migrants and some because they have been driven out from their homelands. (Ironic in the light of your comments.)

If I were being charitable I'd say it was unfortunate that you raised the issue of Muslims in a The UK in a thread about people being oppressed in other countries, but I reckon being charitable would be to insult your intelligence.

The village in which I live has many doctors living here, being equi distant to a number of major hospitals. We chose it to be near to friends too for that matter. However, the village isn't the most cosmopolitan in the world. I reckon ethnic diversity gets as far as the Chinese takeaway family. There are many large lovely houses for sale and very reasonable too. One guy, white, says he feels it important to live in a city as his black wife and brown children look black and brown in small English villages. A Muslim doctor who cane to a party at ours recently got a permanent job locally and looked at a house near us. Turned it down because he felt his family wouldn't fit in.

Whether their fears are justified or not, it is attitudes of division that exacerbate their concern. So sad.

Your earlier comments do just that. Your church and it's admirable stance is in sharp relief to some of your comments. For that matter, "we in The CofE" is baseless, as you cannot speak for them all, not even the ones who mustered enough votes to maintain gender discrimination..... Try showing two hairy hands clasped and see how tolerant some of your fellow members are.

Sorry Musket.
Cross posted.
I was pointing out a false comparison between persecuted Christian communities and our Muslim community.
The Christians are being driven out of their homelands, but Muslims choose to come here from theirs.
Did you not know that?
Why must I not refer to that fact when it is crucial to the point I was making?

We in the CofE abhor racism.
We do not tolerate it.
My church especially (St.Andrew's Hertford). The logo on our magazine is white and black hands clasping each other.
My picture was in it last month with a nice piece about my wedding.

That is because everyone already knows that both the abusers and the victims were Catholics.
Clerical abuse.
The clue is in the name!

You only started calling it persecution to try and change the subject of this thread.
You have never called it that before.

Looking at that list of awful atrocity. Attacked by Muslims! So its Christian versus Muslim is it? Can someone go through the list and make sure that where the perpetrators were identified as Muslim that they actually were and that the reason the attack took place was because they are Muslim?

Name calling Keith? Not in your league. Which judging by your previous shockingly disgusting post must be English Defence League.

I take no pride in being proved right. I said this thread has a hate agenda. Keith and bobad prove my point.

What has an arbitrary list got to do with anything? Other than make a case for Christian persecution being somehow a worse crime than persecution of non Christians. If that is the case, shame on you. It makes no difference here. Less people are taken in by superstition and the more ethnic violence elsewhere is conveniently reported on religious factions, the less rational people are going to be interested in singing from any hymn sheet.

So. Again.. What point are you trying to make?

I repeat. Christians form large minorities in unstable countries so are targeted. Not because of Jesus but because of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. In case you hadn't noticed, in some places religion is taken seriously and the west is portrayed as being Christian. Christian smart bombs from Christian drones. I can say we are secular till I am blue in the face but whilst ever wicked people differentiate between oppression on some "they are similar to us" ticket whilst glossing over all other oppression, their motives will be challenged. Are you saying a Christian life has more value than a Muslim one? We need to wring our hands over Christian oppression but deplore Muslims escaping it and finding sanctuary in the west?

Why did you slip in the bit about Muslims coming over here Keith?

Why the name calling?

"Yes I have, but on relevant threads not this one about religious persecution."
You are lying again - you have never identified clerical child abuse as Cristian Crime
You have an opportunity to do so but shamefully, you won't

How nice.

The fact that oppression of one cult regardless of location makes news whilst oppression of other cults is not newsworthy or statistic gathering worthy... Is it as easy for you to get the statistics on Sunni victims in Iran? Shi'ite victims in Iraq? Gay victims of American backed so called Christians in Uganda?

Victims of being the minority scapegoat occur all over and for myriad reasons. Christian oppression is a statistical fact due to circumstance rather than because they are Christian.

Just because you gave the same imaginary friend as a proportion of the oppressed, just remember, you have the same family and friends asp pressed people of other faiths.

Sanctimonious bastards..

Islamic Terror Attacks on Christians
(Since 9/11)

This is a list of targeted acts of terrorism on Christian civilians and church workers by religious Muslims since September 11th, 2001. These attacks have nothing to do with war, combat or insurgency. The victims are innocent Christians who were specifically targeted and abused solely on account of their faith by those who claim their own religion as a motive.

There may be a few anomalies on the list, as it is compiled by keyword search from our main database. Neither is this a complete account of Islamic terror attacks on Christians since much of the violence goes unreported.

Huh?
I was pointing out a false comparison between persecuted Christian communities and our Muslim community.
The Christians are being driven out, but Muslims choose to live here.

How typical that you have to try to discredit me with the same old baseless slur.
It is as good as an admission of defeat.

Did you notice the final bit of Keith's comment above? Not much point in me harping on about his agenda. He has wrapped it in neon lights and invited the world media to see it.

Glad to see he noticed the Spectator article I made mention of a number of posts ago. Further drivel to try to make people see it is Christian persecution rather than minority persecution. At least that article was written by a card carrying member of the church of Dumbfuckistan, as opposed to our wishy washy cardigan brigade. Just as bloody dangerous mind.

This war on Christians.. At least you are prepared for it. All together now!

"Fight the good fight with all your might!"

"Onward Christian soldiers, marching unto war!"

Or is that like the God did it prayers? You don't actually have to believe what you are saying / singing?   

Are there any Christians reading who would like to give a Christian perspective? Plenty of wannabes here, but the boutique believers are getting out of their league.

Don, the persecuted Christian communities are dwindling to extinction as they are killed or driven out.

""One is where a minority defined by religion is under attack, either by the state or with the collusion or impotence of the state playing a part, typically involving harassment up to and including death, sometimes on a massive scale.""

I don't know whether you realise it Kevin, but that statement, with the exception of ""sometimes on a massive scale"" applies to the situation faced by Muslims in the UK, with the state being unable to do more than react after the fact.

There is a powerful argument to be made in line with Musket's comment, that these attacks are based on what the victim isn't, rather than what he is!

Minorities are, IMO, more likely to be persecuted because "They are not us"!

Because the Christian Church spread to everywhere that formed part of the Roman Empire, and beyond, the minority communities that are found throughout the Middle and Far East, tend to be Christian. This does not mean that their Christian faith is the reason for the persecution.

In countries where minorities are not Christian, persecution still occurs, and until there is concrete evidence that Christianity rather than difference is the reason, there is no justification for the title of this thread.

Clerical Child abuse is an ongoing saga and will continue to be while the Vatican continues to sit on evidence that might bring some relief to victims.
The Magdalene Laundries have not long hit the fan and will be a cuurent issue while the people who ran them express open contempt for their victims and refuse to a pay a penny in compensation - Industrial Schools fall into the same category
Compensation for all of these incidents are being funded from taxpayers money - which makes us all victims of religious abuse indirectly.

Even the Spanish Inquisition will remain an issue while the church adopts this attitude.

NOT SORRY AND WILL DO IT AGAIN
Even in the 20th century, Catholic authorities have tried to present the Inquisition in an undeservedly flattering light. Cardinal Lépicier, expressly supported by Pope Pius X, (Pope from 1903-14) declared the church's reign of terror was right, just because the church did it:
"The naked fact that the Church, of her own authority, has tried heretics and condemned them to be delivered to death, shows that she truly has the right of killing ... [W]ho dares to say that the Church has erred in a matter so grave as this?"
In fact, many have dared to say so.
Charles Leland wrote, "When people believe, or make believe, in a thing so very much as to torture like devils and put to death hundreds of thousands of fellow-beings, mostly helpless and poor old women, not to mention many children, it becomes a matter of very serious import to all humanity to determine once for all whether the system or code according to which this was done was absolutely right for ever, or not." Anthropologist Jules Henry said, "Organized religion, which likes to fancy itself the mother of compassion, long ago lost its right to that claim by its organized support of organized cruelty." G.G. Coulton said of the Inquisition, "History affords few plainer examples of the demoralizing effects of absolute power upon fairly ordinary men.

The best you could come up with were nasty things that priests in Ireland did to some children, how many years ago was it -- could you please give me a precise date when the priest told the girl to 'embrace her martyrdom'?

As you well know Jim, I do not lie.
"MtheGM repeatedly asked for examples - none have yet been produced."
He hasn't repeatedly asked for anything,

Yes he has and it is easily proved.

You have claimed that you have been given no examples of persecutions by the Christian Church - I have just given you several extreme examples

No. You have yet to produce any example where a minority defined by religion is under attack, typically involving harassment up to and including death, sometimes on a massive scale.

The people of Ireland choosing laws that reflect their ethos, culture and values is not persecution by a Christian church.
If you do not like it, you have choices.
One ends with "off."

Keith
You continue to openly lie on this thread
You have persistently and deliberately ascribed beliefs to some of us that we do not hold.
You have claimed that you have been given no examples of persecutions by the Christian Church - I have just given you several extreme examples which you once again ignore and "pass by on the other side" as is the wont of some self-proclaimed 'Christians'
You even lie when you openly and dishonestly implicate your most loyal and consistent supporter in your lies.
"MtheGM repeatedly asked for examples - none have yet been produced."
He hasn't repeatedly asked for anything, nor has he stod by on the sidelines - he has conceded that these are abuses but "not on the same scale as those perpetrated against Christians"
He has even taken you to task (gently) for your manic insistence that the church has no say in the termination laws in Catholic countries.
It remain's to be seen whether he will confirm or deny this, just as it does whether Mac will continue to deny (or stay silent about) your agenda-driven dishonesty.
You have the Midas touch in reverse - the tiny handful of people who have ever supported you come away smelling of the foetid garbage that passes for your opinions.
You obviously have no intention of responding to the examples of Christian Church persecution that you have been given.
Will you at least have the honesty of confirming that you have no intention of doing so, and perhaps say why you take this unbelievably inhuman stance in light of the fact that the revelations of these horrific events have been instrumental not only in changing Irish law, but gone some way towards undermining and loosening the Church's centuries-old grip on Irish society?

Yes Kevin.
I started the thread because I was concerned about "where a minority defined by religion is under attack, either by the state or with the collusion or impotence of the state playing a part, typically involving harassment up to and including death, sometimes on a massive scale."

I expected a little sympathy and a lot of indifference.
I did not expect angry denial.
It is the deniers who have an agenda.
An anti-Christian agenda, like the persecutors.

There would have been a very different outcome if it had been some other group in the frame.

While it is probably true that in most cases religious persecution has very little to do with the religious beliefs of those being persecuted, but rather with the fact that their religion marks them out as a minority, it is also true that in many if not indeed in most cases if people abandon their religious affiliation and convert they will cease to be seen as suitable targets for persecution. That is where religious persecution differs from other forms of ethnic and other persecution. You can't change your skin or your sex, you can abandon your religion.
.................

This thread is by now basically going round and round about two meanings of "religious persecution". One is where a minority defined by religion is under attack, either by the state or with the collusion or impotence of the state playing a part, typically involving harassment up to and including death, sometimes on a massive scale.

The other seems to mean anything which can be seen as associated with any religious organisation or tradition, more especially the Catholic Church, which is undesirable, or which is seen as undesirable.

This pointless thread could go on for ever. Very probably it will. I think I'll take a break for now.

You show your ignorance Musket.
You are right that persecution is directed at the different and it matters not what makes them different.
It just happens that the minority community in the most intolerant societies happens to be the Christian community.

See it from the perspective of the dirt poor, desperate victims.
They know they are being hunted down because they are Christians.
You would deny them even their identity.
You are with the persecutors.
That is your agenda Ian.

If a Muslim or Sikh faction kicked the shit out of our village it would go down in the statistics as Christian persecution. The fact that less than 0.5% of the village attend any service and a survey to support some millennium funding for the church showed that the vast majority of the village didn't profess to believe in any faith. ..

We would be seen as a Christian community.

Just as the others are.

So I ask once more. Other than a socio economic label, what the hell has Christian got to do with it? Odds are many of the persecuted are about as religious as me.

Tell you what. I'll answer it myself. Western Christian activists want to be seen as having an affinity with poor sufferers in the same way as Israeli politicians want to be respected as Jews rather than judged by their deeds.

Makes it harder to criticise their influence on society if they play the brother oppressed card. An ex Archbishop of Canterbury keeps doing the rounds pointing out how The UK is ignoring the Church. He refers to it as persecution. ....

Then why is this a long-term ploy of yours - thread after thread, you and now your shadow?
"None have yet been produced."
Then despite all your mealy-mouthed sympathy for victims of clerical abuse - carried out by priests left with the care of their victims, using the authority of their position as church officers, defended by the silence of their superiors right up to the Vatican and facilitated by some of the worst offenders being moved from parish to parish when their crimes became too obvious and even today still protected by the refusal of the church hierarchy to open their records in order to give the survivors some closure on the abuse that has ruined their lives - despite these undeniable facts, you don't regard this as persecution?
The Same with the laundries and industrial schools - the facts are now no longer disputed - the only thing even defended is that some of the perpetrators have claimed they did no wrong and have refused to offer a penny in compensation - do you seriously claim that this is not persecution of helpless victims by a religious body      
And you say you have been given no examples.
The rest of your claim is is agenda-driven, unqualified in any way, ignorant shit - you haven't even botheres to produce one shred of evidence to back up your delials, even whan faced with the claims of groups of catholics who boast of the control they have over childrens' minds.

The more the articles the more I read an agenda.

Nothing wrong with using the word Christian. A hell of a lot wrong in what the message is.

They are only Christian in that in many countries through past colonialism, Christians form sizable but minority communities hence when small communities are used as scapegoats, statistically speaking, Christian communities bear the brunt.

The fact that they happen to believe in a book called the Bible is utterly beside the point. It is purely their being there that is someone's issue. In many cases, it is a different form of Muslim, Hindu versus Sikh, Buddhist versus state, whatever.

The articles Keith refers to make the mental leap that being Christian has something to do with it. Pure bollocks. If you want a persecution complex, waffle on about someone dying for your sins or that you are all sinners or whatever mind control freakery your superstition afford you.

But to confuse minority scapegoat tactics with hatred of your particular delusion versus someone else's is an unwanted distraction to the issue of persecution and pogroms in general.

Here you go.   Not a single Christian is persecuted anywhere for any reason. People are persecuted for the convenience of being different and not enough of them to fight back.

So, what is so fascinating with the word Christian in all of this?

So are all words referring to religion obscene? Does this extend to all words describing any kind of minority which finds itself persecuted?

When people are persecuted for belonging to a minority this is not as being a member of a nameless generic category "minority', it is specifically as being a member of that specific minority, which has a specific name.

Once again, nobody in this thread has claimed that the only people who suffer persecution are Christians, or that where other groups are persecuted that is less important. To pretend otherwise is throughly dishonest.

As ever.

My criticism is your agenda.


Michael. My wit is indeed 1/2 that of your own. Methinks in the opposite direction to your claim though. This thread is about Christian persecution. My fascination is with the agenda behind the use of the word Christian. There is oppression and persecution out there, lots of it. It is based on blaming a minority for all the ills. Bringing the specific word Christian into it is obscene.

In Pakistan you can be persecuted for your beliefs. Not by Pakistan though, but by criminals and rogue courts under a weak ineffectual government. Christians suffer from it, Shia Muslims suffer from it, Buddhists suffer from it yadda yadda.

This whole thread is based on a doubtful claim by a Vatican body that 100 million Christians are being persecuted. Even if the figures on persecution were true, the absence of acknowledging persecution based on any belief is disgusting.

Mind you, a Christian think tank reported today that one in four adults in The UK believe in angels. Perhaps it is asking too much to ask those angels to smite heathens who don't believe in the little baby Jesus? If Christians get the shitty end of the stick as opposed to any other minority in an unstable country, it makes you wonder why people waste so much time praying?

Wouldn't it be funny if we didn't have labels to allow us to hate each other? A good start will be the demise of religion in advanced countries and wait for the eventual knock on effect. Might take longer than our lifetime but the age of superstition is dying, slowly and with rearguard action, but dying. Poland, Russia, good Christian countries, Uganda, solid Christian country, Dumbfuckistan, part of The USA.. Try being openly gay and see how tolerant people are in the name of your bloody Christianity.

Hold that wonderful thought.

The Pakistani government say that is illegal. They try to reform local judiciary in the same way as any other democracy. The separation makes it difficult when prejudice and scapegoat politics are in force.

You may as well say that criminals are targeting Christians because in Pakistan's case that is what it is. Persecution implies state sanction and you are supposed to be intelligent enough to read the articles you post links to.

I'd try another angle if I were you. (The Angela angle backfired too. ) Feeling sympathy and indeed empathy for the oppressed is easy. You don't even have to point out which cult they happen to be part of. Just note that they are a minority. We used to do it to gays not that long ago. It isn't hard. Just find someone to blame for your own mess and the mindless thugs every society has will do the rest. Just look at the professors with misspelt banners at EDF, BNP or UKIP rallies to see how it could happen just as easily here.

Just had a quick read of early posts to this thread.

The point Keith started with was a Vatican based organisation reckoning that 100 million Christians are being persecuted in some way or other.

Cardinal O'Brien (since fled The UK and in hiding courtesy of the Pope for his role in kiddy fiddling) called on The Foreign Secretary to do something about Christian persecution.

So far, so Christian.

Keith then backs it up by saying Christians are accused of blasphemy to substantiate the persecution. Mmmm..

So. The thread starts with a Catholic organisation getting influential cardinals to ask governments to make Christian persecution a special case. The usual idiots on mudcat.org, realising you can't polish a turd try to roll it in glitter. (Blasphemy indeed. .. All prophets of the book for starters. )



The rest of this thread has been ridiculing those who saw straight through the agenda.
