Muslims in Britain are expressing “deep concern” over the Church of England’s “gay blessing” and the “identity politics” that has invaded Church of England schools, which many Muslim students attend.
Where are the concerned Christians? They are not loud enough to be heard and respected, as wokeism has invaded most mainline Churches. It is no secret that gays are being murdered in Sharia-adherent countries, and Christians who may not support the LGBTQ+ agenda are are still vocal in support of the human rights of the victims. On the other hand, woke ideologues have never fought for the LGBT communities that are persecuted in Islamic countries, because they are intimidated by Muslims and afraid of charges of “Islamophobia.” It is part of the woke ethos never to risk “offending” Muslims. Instead, the woke aggressively trample upon the rights of Christians in Western countries; they clearly consider Christians to be safe targets. Some Christians are now even reluctant to state their belief that God created people male and female, and that this creation forms the basis of marriage. In some churches, you will seldom if ever hear the Biblical quote: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:27). In light of all this, how will the woke Church of England (CofE) react to these Muslim complaints? The Leftist/Islamic alliance has been solid in the West, but cracks in the alliance are becoming increasingly apparent.
Religious rights and freedoms are being increasingly violated due to Woke aggression. Far too many Christian churches have become so weak that they have embraced the Woke agenda, as well as the Islamic supremacist “Islamophobia” agenda to shut down speech that scrutinizes Islamic ideology and thus “offends”. These Churches have in essence lost their salt and have become easy targets for bullying. Until now, Muslims have been mostly quiet about the Woke agenda, but it would be intriguing to observe how the Woke Church of England will react to being confronted by Muslims. We have an idea of what they won’t do. They won’t call the deeply concerned Muslim community ‘homophobic’. Overall, we don’t see the Woke pushing LGBTQ+, correct pronouns on Muslims or gender-affirming care on Muslim children in Madrassahs in the West. No one tramples their religious rights, but instead, gives them preference.
According to Anglican.Ink:
Paul Salahuddin Armstrong, Managing Director of the Association of British Muslims (AoBM) expressed his “deep concern”. He said: “The Association of British Muslims is concerned about the lack of open and inclusive discussions regarding the traditional understanding of marriage within faith communities. We are also concerned about the teaching of sexual identity politics in schools, including Church of England schools.”
How will the woke reconcile “inclusion” with the Association of British Muslims who reject their agenda? Anglican.Ink also stated:
“There is now the worrying potential of Muslim parents starting to withdraw children from CofE schools to protect them from sexual ethics contrary to their beliefs,” said the Revd Paul Eddy, Convenor of Anglican Orthodox, “and that can obviously lead to segregation of children of different faiths in some Muslim-majority cities if the CofE proceeds.”
Those Christians who do not support “sexual ethics contrary to their beliefs” are already marginalized, or even hated and smeared as “homophobic” or “transphobic,” including in many Christian schools which now fly the rainbow flag and host Pride parades. In 2019, the Church of England “issued advice to clergy and congregations recommending an adapted affirmation of baptism service to allow transgender Christians to celebrate their new identity and name.” But those who do not celebrate along with them are increasingly persecuted. The CofE has also instructed schools to “let children ‘explore gender identity.'”
Let’s see whether the woke CofE will attempt to convince the deeply concerned Muslims of the Association of British Muslims that they are “homophobic” and “transphobic.” Of course, they wouldn’t dream of doing such a thing. The mainstream media will also likely ignore the brewing conflict and continue to try to give the impression that only stuffy, stupid, bigoted, old, white Christians disagree with the woke agenda.

That depends on how one defines what a Christian is. The church today has been compromised and instead of the church influencing society the opposite is happening.
The church has been systematically infiltrated with Marxist and Occult practices that have cleverly watered down the Gospel message to nothing more than “have you best life now.” There is little or no preaching and teaching on sin and one’s eternal life.
“According to a recent poll published by the Family Research Council, only 6% of Americans are holding on to and believing a biblical worldview.”

milo,
Regarding the “infiltration” of the churches, some weeks ago, Glenn Beck had some *history* of the communist KGB agent detailing….many years ago….that to take down the West, they would need to take down Christianity, and to this end, they began to *join* churches[ to “infiltrate” them and cause great changes to occur.
Jesus warned Christians about this very thing in the Book of Revelation, chapters 1-3 where He had John write to the “churches” or “congregations” what their problems were and what to do about them in order to receive blessings and not adverse judgment.
Evidently, many have chosen to ignore the warnings from our Lord and Master and are facing Judgment of an unpleasant variety.

somehistory,
Thank you, as always, for your comments.
During the so-called Covid pandemic, I passed a church that had this message on a sign by the road, “What a virus does to the body, sin does to the soul.”
somehistory says
thank you, milo. Yes, sin, a.k.a missing the mark of perfection…corrupts us and makes us ill, spiritually. When we give in to the inclination to sin, we hurt ourselves.

As someone who attempts to follow Christ, I object to places where people are pretending to follow Him, accept the satanic teachings now so prevalent in the “churches.” Of course, it is not my opinion that should matter, and I have no desire to interfere in what the Catholics, Church of England, etc. teach or do. If any member asked me, I would gladly share the Bible’s instructions, but I doubt any one of them will ever.
Jesus is perfectly capable to deal with them. And He has the authority to do so.
However, if the mozlums don’t like it, they can send their kids elsewhere. Of course, they won’t because they are on a war plan to take over and make everyone else just as stupid, as ignorant, as barbaric and thirsting for blood as they are., They will not stop on their own.
And Jesus will deal with them, as well.

I actually find this amusing, Christians, Mudslimes and the alphabet+ woke mob all at each others throats.
Brings a warm glow to the old heart.

Except that anyone claiming to be Christian and going in for this stuff, is not a True Christian, and therefore, no Christian is at anyone’s “throat.”
However, the throats of Christians the world over have others slicing and dicing them.

It is indeed very strange to find oneself agreeing with the Muslims and opposed to the actions of the Anglican Church, for once.
DHZ says
The opening, closing and midway statements of the defense in the case of Islam v. The Illuminati Cult of Islamophobic Degenerant Whores, Jews and White Demons:
”
“It is our free will to decide and demand how other people get to express their own free will. Case closed.
We can make such demands because we do and also because we want to. The penalties for non complianace are limited to one. That, in turn, is restricted to one charge, per person, per lifetime.”

“Channel 10 news reported: Pope Francis says homosexuality not a crime.
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis criticized laws that criminalize homosexuality as “unjust,” saying God loves all his children just as they are and called on Catholic bishops who support the laws to welcome LGBTQ people into the church.
“Being homosexual isn’t a crime,” Francis said during an exclusive interview Tuesday with The Associated Press.
These bishops have to have a process of conversion,” he said, adding that they should apply “tenderness, please, as God has for each one of us.”

OLD GUY says
What’s to challenge? Churches are full of sinners, some are there trying to reach salvation and change their life of sin including being GAY. Some are there putting on a good show for their community/social standing and financial gain.
We are all identified as something, the honest or dishonest, the hard working or lazy, the womanizer or slut, gay or straight those who serve and those who don’t. We should all be welcome in the house of god as sinners trying to follow gods teachings and word so as to reach salvation.
Now if you are Muslim/islamic you must follow islamic rules to the letter in order to enter the mosque, men only, women in the back.
It appears that Islam believes that you can do anything to your fellow man as long as you praise Allah and follow basic rules. Violence and hate against your fellow man, rape of non-islamic women, vary young girls and boys, Honor killing, slavery, etc. are approved and acceptable.
Hell if you do jihad against non-believers Allah will reward you with? You got it VIRGINS for your pleasure.
Muslim’s challenging another church’s Gay blessing and identity politics in their schools is laughable. considering what is taught young children about hate and killing of non-islamic followers in their mosque’s.

I am against same sex marriage it is just plain wrong. and I will not apologise about that to anybody.
I am no Christian but how can you belong to a religion and disregard one of its most basic rules?
somehistory says
the answer is, you can’t.
If one claims to be Christian and then disobeys the commands of God and Christ, that one is just pretending, lying to himself, lying to others for some kind of gain, and not fooling God or Christ.
There are verses in the Bible that say some “make an outward show” so others will think they are pious. These ones in the article, are doing just that. But, they aren’t fooling the Ones they pretend to worship.

There can be no stranger alliance in History than of those Of The Left and those of islamic teachings.
The homosexuals scream about the Church but stay silent regrading the Iman that calls for throwing them off the rooftop.
It just gets weirder and weirder every day.
