Paris bombing creates international outrage but a few home truths - over
double standards in the UK - must be addressed
Cameron and fundamentalism – he cannot have his cake and
eat it!
British PM, David
Cameron, says the Muslim ‘silent majority’ must tackle Islamist extremism. This
sounds rather simple – but is it, or are
we being treated to yet more political double talk?
David Cameron this month
said that Islamic religious schools, which teach anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and "fill children with
poison and hate" will be investigated
and closed down. Well, the PM was also recently telling us all that we live
in a “Christian” land. I seem to recall
that Christianity
is historically anti- Semitic. Did not the Church blame the Jews for killing the alleged
Jesus chap, their so-called Saviour? That was the spin I was force-fed, on the
end of a cane or strap, anyway as a very reluctant Birkdale, Catholic schoolboy.
Hitler made quite an art form about being a good Christian
gentleman and having to eradicate Jewish folks for being ‘Christ – killers’ etc
from the globe. The Church has a long-standing Christian
tradition of blaming Jews for killing Christ. Hitler merely capitalised on this existing ecclesiastical philosophy.
Let’s not forget that the
celebrated Church reformer, Martin
Luther, was ultimately seduced by all the anti-Jewish Church bigotry of his
time. He wrote.
“What then shall we Christians do with this damned,
rejected race of Jews? Since they live among us and we know about their lying
and blasphemy and cursing, we cannot tolerate them if we do not wish to share
in their lies, curses, and blasphemy. We must prayerfully and reverentially
practice a merciful severity. Let me give you my honest advice: First, to set
fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever
will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them.
This is to be done in honour of our LORD and of Christendom. Second, I advise
that their houses also be razed and destroyed. Third, I advise that all their
prayer books and Talmudic writings, in which such idolatry, lies, cursing, and
blasphemy are taught, be taken from them. Fourth, I advise that their rabbis be
forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life and limb. Fifth, I advise
that safe conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews. For
they have no business in the countryside, since they are not lords, officials,
tradesmen, or the like. Let them stay at home. Sixth, I advise that usury be
prohibited to them, and that all cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken
from them, and put aside for safe keeping. Seventh, I recommend putting a
flail, an axe, a hoe, a spade, a distaff, or a spindle into the hand of young,
strong Jews and Jewesses and letting them earn their bread in the sweat of
their brow.”
Oh yes, the historically racist teachings within the Church
was music to Nazi ears and eventually put into devastating usage that finally
became the Holocaust. Millions of good
German Christians also stood by as the evil unfolded.
Therefore, one may ask, will Mr Cameron
also be investigating and closing down Christian schools that are based on the
very same type of anti-Semitic bile in view of his OWN remarks about extremism
in Islam If not why not – or is this just more hypocritical, overtly selective,
vote-creaming hypocrisy?
I seem to recall that
there is quite a bit of needle between Jews and Arabs about what is happening
to certain lands (with regards to claims of ownership etc) in the East.
Consequently,
making wildly generalised statements like this may simply create more
frustration and hatred in society, not less.
Pouring petrol on a fire may seem like a good idea to a
politician seeking greater prominence but it may have disastrous consequences
for us all; especially after the terrible events that have happened recently with
the Paris bombings.
CAMERON’S
PREVIOUS DOUBLE STANDARDS EXPOSED
So, today our imprudent PM wants to close Muslim schools
that fail to meet ‘his’ self-righteous, Christian-orientated religious criterion.
However,
not so long ago he appeared to be giving fundamentalist radicalism an open door
in UK society. Cameron’s support for sickening Ritual
Animal Abuse, to appease religious types, is no secret.
It’s rather amusing that this politician is now running
around talking the tough-man talk
when previously he was openly welcoming ritualised animal abuse into the UK. He
said a while back…
“Let me make it absolutely clear, that while I am Prime Minister
of this country, halal is safe in Britain.”
NB. Claims have been made internationally that there may
be a link between Halal and terrorism.
It seems to me (as a simple Lancashire lad) that the PM
says one thing to one group and another thing to the next. We used to call this
feeble type of ‘suck-up’ attitude – ‘playing both ends against the middle.’
Straight talking against the calamitous threats of fundamentalist
terrorism is welcomed and all fine and dandy – but baloney and duplicity, like
the above, helps none of us feeler safer in our beds.
Fundamentalism (regardless of what phony religious
listing it may be connected to) is the real enemy of freedom and like others;
Cameron cannot have his cake and eat it!
