This happened back in March, but the Diocese of Jos and all Christians in Muslim dominated countries need our continual prayers. Please pray for Bishop Ben and family and all his people.

Thank you,Red Stick Rant for this information.
In my email this morning was an update from the American Anglican Council. Included was this paragraph:
A third area that concerns us as orthodox Anglicans is the invasion of Islam into supposedly solid Christian areas, and the rapidity with which Christians seem to be rolling over and not adequately responding. I used to wonder how Islam conquered North Africa so easily, suppressing such a vital Christian area and pushing the Christian faith into a small corner of the community. Watching the idiocy of many governmental leaders in the Western world today, ready to give away so much to accommodate the demands of Muslim immigrants into their land, and seeing the Christians, with only a few exceptions, fail to rise to the challenge, I think I understand a little better what happened in North Africa. One difference there was that Islam conquered cities and territories by the sword… but who needs a sword if they can accomplish the same result by making demands and through thuggery and intimidation? I am thinking especially of articles about English vicars being beaten and harassed at their churches by Muslim youths.
Britain has now recognized polygamy
February 5, 2008

Britain has now recognized polygamy in its latest capitulation to sharia law. Fortunately, writes “Jimmy Bradshaw”, medical professionals are showing more backbone when it comes to Muslim doctors refusing to disinfect themselves before dealing with patients. In today’s UK, it’s a war between multiculturalism and universalism, and so far the latter is on the ropes.
British political scandals involving wives invariably revolve around politicians cheating but the latest controversy goes way beyond a middle-aged MP having an affair with his secretary.New guidelines on income support welfare benefits from the U.K’s Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have de facto recognized polygamy. The guidelines state: “Where there is a valid polygamous marriage the claimant and one spouse will be paid the couple rate … The amount payable for each additional spouse is presently £33.65.” the rest

I found this blog while browsing around this morning. Well worth the time to read. The Western world needs many, many more women like this to stand up and shout "I'm not ready for my burqa yet ( or ever)!"
Multicultural tolerance and understanding is not going to stop these evils. Only taking a stand and defending ourselves will work.
And how can you not like a blogger who celebrates St. Crispin's Day?
