Yet another ‘senseless tragedy’

 

 

 

Thanks to Pounce for the video which shows a Muslim cleric stating that the sentence for homosexuality is death….he says it is the compassionate thing to do…to ‘get rid of them’.  Will the BBC be exploring the issue of how homosexuality is treated under Islam?  Christianity doesn’t approve of homosexuality but it doesn’t say ‘kill them’….whereas Islam does…the only question is, according to a well respected, moderate Muslim cleric and ‘friend’ of Ken Livingstone…do you throw homosexuals off a mountain or stone them to death?

Gays Abandoned by Left’s Appeasement

The growth of Islam in Europe has consequences for gay men. But you wouldn’t know it from a cursory perusal of the issues which preoccupy at any one time what is known as the “gay community”. Civil partnerships, gay adoption or problems with Christian bed-and-breakfast owners and the allegedly latent homophobia of the Conservatives are all up there on the list. But, with a few honorable exceptions, such as the consistently principled activist Peter Tatchell, few voices are raised about the possible future problems for gay men in a rapidly changing demographic landscape. 

 

 

 

A mass killing in Orlando.  The killer? A Muslim with possible “leanings towards Islamic terrorism”.  But who is really to blame?  Trump?  The irresponsible Media that keeps recklessly highlighting things such as rapes and er, mass murder by Muslims?  Islamophobia? Government anti-terrorism measures? [Must stop those…stop anti-terror measures and we stop terrorism…it’s so obvious]  This was an angry young man driven to kill by the discrimination and marginalisation that American society imposes upon Muslims. He is the real victim here. And.  As the Orlando killer’s father said…this has nothing to do with Islam.

Oh…and the victims were gay…so presumably the BBC will be telling us they deserved it as they so offended Muslim sensibilities….just as Jews shopping in a Paris supermarket can be gunned down legitimately because Israelis are Jewish and women across Europe have to dress defensively, go about in groups or not go out at all due to certain dangers arising in the new reality of multicultural Europe.

I await the BBC’s list of excuses for the killer as they delve into his life and background….probably not so bothered about the genuine victims.

Interesting to note that the BBC are already trying to downplay what is being reported as an act of terrorism and conflate it with other mass shootings that had no political or ideological motivations…Just as Mark Mardell tried to claim the 13 soldiers killed in Fort Hood were a ‘senseless tragedy’, just as they did with San Bernardino pronouncing it “Just Another Day in the United States of America”….No, no it wasn’t…that, just like Orlando, was mass murder in the name of Islam…there was rhyme and reason to it…..to terrorise Americans in order to further the interests of the Islamic religion by Muslim fundamentalists……not just another day at all….

..

 

The BBC in its report on Orlando continues this attempt to downplay the reasons for the killings listing domestic, non-ideological mass shootings with the Islamic ones…

    Would this be the same BBC that covered up Syrian ‘refugees’ who sexually assaulted young girls in Newcastle.
    Apparently they were running a fluff pice on Syrians coming to Britain. Here’s a bit from the Mail.

    “The case was covered by the BBC for the first time on Friday as part of a Newsnight series tracking the progress of two Syrian families who had been resettled in Britain.
    In the first programme of the series, broadcast on November 17, Newsnight reporter Katie Razzall met a family in a refugee camp in Jordan as they prepared to move to Glasgow.
    Then in a follow-up on November 26, it showed Badreddin’s family for the first time.
    In a video clip since deleted from the BBC iPlayer and YouTube, Newsnight said it would be ‘introducing you to the second family from Syria who we’ll be following.
    They’ve just arrived in Newcastle’.
    Nothing more was heard until Friday night when presenter Evan Davis told viewers: ‘We have to report things have taken a disturbing turn. The teenage son was in court today charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.’
    A police source claimed the BBC had known for several weeks, adding: ‘When police arrested one of the individuals involved they were aware he was part of this [resettlement] programme so they thought it only right they contact Newsnight and make them aware.’

    But a spokesman for the programme insisted: ‘The programme was not aware of the allegations against Omar Badreddin at the time of his first court appearance in May so could not have covered it then.’

    Yes of course BBC you woudn’t be lying would you. I mean you’re a national treasure.

    The BBC is doing all it can to avoid reporting the fact that the gunman was an Islamist lunatic who, in keeping with his religion’s tenets, hates gay people and so kills them. Just wait for all the spineless snowflakes to come out and decry that ‘this has nothing to do with Islam’ etc.

    BBC – thinking allowed … YOU COULDN T MAKE IT UP!
    talks to Steffen Hertog, Associate Professor of Comparative Politics at the London School of Economics, (ah … London School of Extremists), about a new study which finds that Islamist and right-wing extremism have more in common than, either does with (wait for it) left-wing extremism, in which engineers are absent while social scientists and humanities students are prominent.
    Is there a mindset susceptible to certain types of extremism? … YES! BBC THE ISLAMIC MINDSET!

    Al-Beeb. bless ’em, never lets you down.
    R4 news and of course it’s American gun control laws to blame. That’s odd since Florida is one of the States that already has gun control laws enacted but it seems nobody told certain peaceful members of the community about them.
    Only loony left progressives could come away with cr@p like that. It’s like saying if the killer had mowed them down in an SUV then the SUV is to blame and all motor vehicles should be banned.
    Then there was the ubiquitous words of wisdom from the local Imam telling us that ALL religions are responsible for this…but thankfully I made it to the ‘off’ switch before any more of this garbage spewed out.

    Oh dear-THAT old trope again!
    Can we be clear here-Jesus said not a dicky bird about homosexuality.
    Therefore there IS no Christian position on it.
    End of.
    Yes-Paul cites it in letters to Rome and (without checking) likely as not Corinth and such.
    But if you follow that -then your not a follower of Jesus, but a disciple of Paul…and, therefore a Churchian.
    But NOT A Christian, in that you`re not following jesus-who(as I say) said ZIP about homosexuality-and little about sexuality at all, except maybe a preference for celibacy in preference to marriage.
    An unusual take for a rabbi, but then again he`d not been trained by rabbinical schools-got it all from His dad..and as a follower of Jesus, that`ll be good enough for me.
    And even Pauls view on homosexuality are predicated on general disgust with an amoral society where temple prostitutes and Grecian amorality and perversions were commonplace…not specifically a lifestyle choice, more a phase before getting married as far as the Greeks were concerned.
    Didnt` say it was easy…but no more of this Christains don`t like homosexuality-we have no position on it, unless you want the Church or Pauls selective and specific contexts to consider.
    But it`s easier to stick with what Jesus says.

        But don`t wear a kameez though, or indeed any stripey nightshirt given what our Muslim murderer seemed to think of faeries , as a general principle.
        There may well be a backlash from your faerie community against this outrage, so you`d only be risking your health…if I were you i`d wait a while anyway.

      Ooohh Chris

      Have to seriously differ

      1.who was Jesus?He was and is and always will be God the eternal and indivisible lord of all

      God said plenty about homosexuals…..he had instructed the Hebrews through Moses centuries before

      2.Matthew 19 v 4 and 5

      4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

      When Jesus said ‘havent you read?’ He was holding people responsible for reading and knowing the Scriptures.

      I wish we could go back in time, to when public homosexuality was illegal. They did it largely in private, and of necessity generally kept quiet about it, we weren’t interested anyway, and we didn’t suffer the indignity of having it rubbed in our faces, 24/7, 365 days a year.

    There’s certain to be global condemnation by the Muslim community over this.

    Or maybe not…

    Will the BBC ask why not? Will they?

    We’ll wait to hear what the Muslim Mayor of London has to say. I hear he’s a moderate, whatever that may mean.

      According to a fatwa issued by Ayatollah Khomeini, no less, a man is allowed to have sex with a goat (female I presume), but then has to kill the poor goat, and it is forbidden to eat its flesh.

      Can anyone argue that islam is not a system of organised mentalism?
