What's the Point Anymore? Archbishop of Canterbury Celebrates Islamic Extremist

David Strom:

Prince Charles is no longer the Defender of the Faith, and the first female Archbishop of Canterbury has awarded a Pakistani radical Islamist an award for his Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation work. He is a big fan of Osama bin Laden and advises Pakistan's government on blasphemy laws. 

What's the point of pretending that England is a Christian, or even Western, country? It is in the process of submitting to the Ummah. 

Dame Sarah Mullally, the Archbishop of Canterbury, gave an “interfaith” award on the anniversary of 9/11 to an Islamic cleric who honoured Osama bin Laden, it has emerged.

Dame Sarah presented the “reconciliation and interfaith” award to Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi, chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council, a group of Islamic scholars, at a ceremony at Lambeth Palace on Sept 11.

Mr Ashrafi’s council awarded Bin Laden its highest honour in response to the UK Government giving Salman Rushdie a knighthood in 2007, describing him as a “Muslim warrior”.

The cleric praised Bin Laden, whose terror group killed 2,977 people in the 9/11 attacks, for targeting British people.

His wife, who attended the ceremony, was wearing a Niqab that covered every inch of her body except her hands and a tiny slit for her eyes. 

If you look at those photographs, you may notice an interesting detail that is easy to miss: the medal the Archbishop awarded was hanging on Ashrafi's wife, and not him. 

Guess why. It's not to honor her, but because he would not allow the Archbishop to put it on him, because women are unclean. 

… This is gaslighting, not naiveté. She must know that of all the Muslims she could choose, she was giving her stamp of approval to a particularly hostile Muslim cleric. It is little different than flying in the leaders of the Taliban to award them for their efforts to bring peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan. 

There is a whole-of-government effort in the UK to punish Christians for displays of their faith. Reading the Bible in the public square is punished. Even praying silently is punished. But Muslims can close down streets on a whim and ostentatiously pray without the police even looking twice. 

Will Britain soon institute the Jizya, where non-Muslims must pay the mosques for the right to practice their own religion? That sounds absurd today, but who would have bet that the Archbishop of Canterbury would be handing out awards for interfaith reconciliation to a fan of blasphemy laws, child marriage, and terrorism?

At best, this is suicidal empathy. At worst, it is preparing the British people for the Muslim takeover. 

UPDATE: apparently, there are still a few British Christians willing to defend their faith. They’ll all be gone in a few years, of course, but as of today, can still raise a ruckus over the Church of England’s antics.
