This is an interesting programme from the BBC about the Amish in the US. It is interesting in its own right but you cannot help wondering if there is a message buried in there somewhere. Every BBC programme now comes prepacked with a message….about climate or stimulating the economy or the joys of Islam.
The Amish are pretty fundamentalist followers of their particular version of Christianity as taken strictly from a German language Bible. Flouting certain customs or rules can get you thrown out of the community….they are however totally opposed to any kind of violence…..“A gentle, quiet, peaceful people.”
It is quite possible, or probable, that this was intended as a foil to deflect criticism from Islam and its oppressive and extreme nature….‘Look everyone Christians are just as intolerant and at times as mad and oppressive as you think Muslims are….so don’t criticise Islam!’
Truly we can say that the Amish are our brothers and sisters.
However there are some differences….Christianity being a real 
religion of peace…nowhere in Christianity does it command you to make war on unbelievers or to kill non-Christians or to take slaves and loot in the name of God….or to respect women as you would respect your best cow.
Nowhere does Christianity tell you to kill or whip adulterers or to kill gay people or to cut bits off people for crimes.
Christians have certainly done things in the name of God but these really were ‘perversions’ of the religion unlike in Islam where they are encouraged.
The BBC is yet again trying to muddy the waters and present Islam as something it is not….and continue the pro Muslim proselytising with this from Michael Portillo which is nothing but outright Muslim propaganda from the State Broadcaster.
It’s a funny old world…when the Jews have been under attack for 60 years and defend themselves the BBC pillories and demonises them, when Muslim terrorists blow up half of London or head off to Iraq to blow up other Muslims there are undercurrents of praise and a quiet glorification of their actions.
From that BBC link:
“Michael starts his trip in Badalona – a bustling city in Catalonia. The region has around 280,000 Muslims in 100 registered communities, and yet there is not one purpose built Mosque for them to use. Each Friday, Muslims have been conducting their prayers on a sports pitch, as a desperate measure. But now the local Mayor has ruled that this cannot continue.”
A few miles from where I used to live until last summer. The reason there is no Mosque isn’t entirely down to extreme Muslim fundamentalism but the Madrid train bombings brought out several million people onto the streets of several cities (the Spanish are great at impromptu demonstrations!) to protest against terrorism; the attempted bombing of an AVE train and the arrest of several cells of terrorists in and around Barcelona isn’t helping local sympathies either.
The region has around 280,000 Muslims in 100 registered communities, and yet there is not one purpose built Mosque for them to use.
That’s a huge lie to start with!
Catalonia: Salafists taking over mosques
The evolution of the number of Salafists praying rooms in Catalonia is the best proof of it. In the last four years their number has doubled. In 2004, they had 15, concentrated for the most part in Tarragona, nowadays they control between 27 and 30 mosques and their area of influence has extended itself to Lleida and Girona, according to the authorities. In Barcelona, their presence is still not very important.
Salafists build new mosques or make their way into an already existing one to achieve their expansion goals. Their method is simple. First, they try to convince the imam of letting them organise activities inside the mosque like readings or conferences about Islam. If he is not very favourable to that, they discredit him before the rest of the Muslims accusing him of not knowing correctly Islamic doctrine. They tell the believers that the Quram states the obligation of chaging the imam if he is not the adequate one, because if not, the praying is void.
Salafists themselves state that they control much more mosques than 30. “There are more than 50 salafist mosques in Catalonia”, Said Hamduni says. He is the coordinator of the Reus mosque and one of the most active leaders of this “trend” in Catalonia. “I’m Salafist”, he admits with pride and insists that “Salafism is the true Islam”. “We follow literally Mahoma’s teachings. If something is not written in the Quram or in the Hadiths, we don’t consider it as valid”, Hamduni explains.

Agree except that this is really any place they worship, new mosque could be a room. The BBC article is on about the spires and domes bells and whistles type mosque.
Note the bias in language by the BBC
“Seven-hundred-and-fifty years of Muslim rule left a complex social, religious, and cultural legacy. Spain’s great buildings, such as The Alhambra Palace and the Cathedral-Mosque of Cordoba, are a link to much of this past and are stepping stones in Michael’s journey.”

Cathedral-Mosque of Cordoba, ah lets see if the BBC is consistent.
Introduction to Muslim beliefs and practice
Duration: 04:32
An introduction to Islam, its spread, the split between Shia and Sunni and the key beliefs and prayer. Reverend Peter Owen-Jones visits the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/introduction-to-muslim-beliefs-and-practice/8347.html
Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, that would be the Basilica-Mosque of John the Baptist then? It was originally a Christian Basilica the BBC did not mention that. Funny how the BBC will twist or omit language.
Still waiting for Panorama to investigate the plight of Spanish, Balkan, North African and middle eastern Christans, still waiting for human rights compo after hundreds of years, some even longer.
SYRIA and ‘British’ jihadists: not for INBBC to report.
‘Telegraph’:-
“Foreign Office investigates reports of Britons among Islamist kidnappers of journalists in Syria
The Foreign Office is investigating reports that British citizens are among Islamist fighters who kidnapped a British photographer and his Dutch colleague in northern Syria.”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/9435550/Foreign-Office-investigates-reports-of-Britons-among-Islamist-kidnappers-of-journalists-in-Syria.html
This will not deter INBBC from supporting the Islamisation of Britain and Europe through continuing mass immigration.
of course like your website however you have to test the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very troublesome to tell the reality nevertheless I will definitely come back again.
