I fear for the Christian West. By Andrew Vernon.

“I fear for the Christian West.”
By Andrew Vernon.

Uncle Monty you have done a good job with your
impartial notes in “Islam’s Heavenly Ornaments.”
I want to draw your attention, if I may, to the letter
by Andrew Vernon that was published, last month, in
The Catholic Times -on the seriousness of questions
about Islam in his thought-provoking letter of
"I fear for the Christian West.”

Let me tell you what he wrote:
‘To describe Muslims as much the same as
Jehovah’s Witnesses and Plymouth Brethren
reveals a woeful lack of awareness and
knowledge of the phenomenon of Islamic
growth throughout history and its re-
surgence in recent years. For a start, the
former are of course Christian sects,
whereas Islam is a politico-religious
idealogy of world conquest whose history
is one of warfare, expansion, and in-
tolerance of opposition.’


‘Whether we may like it or not, the
Catholic Church has been at war with Islam
since it violently burst on the scene 1200
years ago and tore the heart out of the
Christian Roam Empire of the East,
seizing Egypt, North Africa, the Holy
Land and the Byzantine heartlands now
known as Turkey.
Then some inroads into Europe via
Spain and the Balkans. The papacy re-
sponded by launching the Crusades in an
attempt to wrestle back those lost
Christian lands.
Because the last couple of generation
of Catholics (And Anglicans, may I add)
feel pink and fluffy towards the onward
march of Islam, this should not blind us
to the fact that the Church for hundreds
of years saw Islam as a mortal threat
to Europe and the faith.’

‘Nothing has changed since, other than
that many Muslim states have now
turned against the small indigenous
Christian enclaves among them and
increased their policies of persecution.
They have also made deep demographic
penetration into the heartland of Europe.
In what could be described in historical
terms as the blinking of an eye. Mosques
are springing up where none have ever
stood and the Islamic birthrate is ex-
plosive. This is a recipe not for euphoric
politics of tolerance, but disaster,
for what we see as cultural
accommodation, the (Islamic)
fundamentalists see as easy conquest.’

‘Yes, I know some of us know of decent
Muslims, who have no intention of ex-
tirpating Christianity and completing the
1200 year old Jihad, but, dare I say it?
No doubt there were some jolly nice
German soldiers during the last war,
But the Nazis as a whole had to be faced
down and see off. There was no viable
alternative on offer. I very much fear
that a similar clash lies in the future, due
to the foolishness of our politicians who
simply saw Islamic immigration into the
UK as just another brand of some quaint
foreign religion, and consequently not
worth worrying about.’

‘There is a very real fear that unless the
Church re-awakens to its historic mission
and studies the lessons of the past, the Fr.
Francis Marsden’s recent grim reminder
of what happened to the Hagia Shopia in
Constantinople and the countless Christian
Churches throughout the lost lands of the
East, may well be the future for not just
York Minster and Canterbury Cathedral,
but for what yet remains of the entire
Christian West.’

Local Vicar Seriously Attacked.
By Dennis Delderfield.
Canon Michael Ainsworth was taken to hospital after
being viciously attacked by Muslim youths shouting
anti-Christian abuse outside his church of St. George-
in-the-East, Wapping. The police have said that it was
a racial attack. Canon Ainsworth went outside his

church to ask a gang to quieten down. He was then

punched and kicked and suffered cuts, bruises, and

two black eyes. St. George-in-the-East has regularly

had windows smashed. Some members of the

congregation have had racial insults hurled
at them and some youths have shouted
out ‘This should be a mosque, not a church.’
Racial attacks on churches and Christians in Tower
Hamlets has increased. St. Dunstan’s the parish church
has had graffiti daubed over its walls. Two years
ago, 80 students were let out of the Sir John Cass
School early as it was part of the Muslim month
of Ramadan. They then laid siege to the Roman
Catholic Bishop Challenor School and tried to
storm the school. Many people in Wapping and
Stepney have had abuse hurled at then and the
shout of ‘Whites out, this is our country now.'
are regularly heard.

Christian and Muslim leaders look to break interfaith 'logjam.'

New Haven, Conn. USA. Ecumenical News International/ENI.

About 150 Christian and Muslim representatives meeting at

Yale University have issued a call for clerics and leaders of their

respective traditions to speak out publicly once a year during a

designated week in praise of the other's faith tradition. "We have

extremists on all sides and that has to be addressed by mainstream

[religious] leaders," said Ibrahim Kalin, director of the Ankara,

Turkey-based Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research,

and an assistant professor of Georgetown University in Washington,

DC. The call was among a series of "practical outcomes" agreed by

the conference, which continued a dialogue that began in 2007 when

prominent Islamic scholars issued a call for dialogue with Christian

leaders. This prompted a supportive response from Yale scholars

that eventually grew to include hundreds of Christian leaders

and theologians. [ENI 07-08-08. 0623]

A Decade of What New Labour's Mindless
Mass Immigration Has Done to the UK
Story and Photos By Uncle Monty
***

Ghettoized -black, foreignized -yellow and brown, Eastern and Western Europeanize -white, and Muslimized -folkz, have now become the ugly, disconcerting, and alien picture of my English homeland. New Labour’s political psychosis of uncontrollable mass immigration now verges on a kind of criminal insanity all of their own making. And such has now robbed me of almost all the things I once knew and loved about what was once for me my happy homeland.
***
Every where I turn now in England, I cannot escape New Labour’s mindless and criminal mass immigration. Our schools, our hospitals, our parks, our prisons, our courts, our local government, our housing estates, our swimming pools, our streets, our shopping centres, our churches, our neighbourhoods, our maternity wards, our car boot sales, our bus stations, our mental institutions, our public transport, our leisure centres, our GP surgeries, our asylum and refugee units, our funeral homes, our gratis NHS services, our post offices, our ASDA and Tesco food stores, our pubs, and our very way of life, are now invaded and mostly grabbed for free by such derelick and useless outsiders. And still more of them are coming under New Labour by the boatloads, the trainloads, the planeloads and the busloads at every turn either by fair or foul. While New Labour applause itself, I bitterly cry. They're taken my country and now made it closely "Afro-Britain." I just detest the sight and loudness of it all. I really do.

I know, also, that it is not popular or politically-correct to question the steep rise of interracial and interethnic dating and courting, and heaven forbid granted mix marriages, too, that are so brazen in today's England. Last Saturday at London's Covent Garden, I counted, over perhaps five or six hours, 11 mixed couples : two white males with Afro-females hand-in-hand; and nine Afro-males with white females also hand-in-hand. Two of them were so publicly snogging and having it off, I was perturbed by the vulgarity and tastelessness of their ill-taught behaviour.

I'll be writing more later on this provocative immigration topic of mine ... Angry, Uncle Monty. +Name of Jesus, 2oo8.
