I just want to make a couple of announcements about some things going on in this country which you need to be aware of.
Basically, you need to be praying about them.
I had an email from Outreach UK yesterday which said:
“I accompanied an Outreach UK evangelist to see a lawyer from Christian Legal Center in London. An injunction order has been drafted at very short notice to be heard at Aldershot and Farnham County Court this Friday 7th of March at 10 a.m.
If successful, it would effectively ban any sort of evangelism in certain Town areas and would set a very dangerous precedent in other Town centers across the country.”
In other words, they want you to stop preaching the Gospel in town centers.
Another email is a petition from Citizen Go in the fight to protect free speech is intensifying as Labour pushes forward its dangerous ‘Islamophobia definition’ the Deputy Prime Minister’s plan to establish an official definition of Islamophobia threatens to create a de facto blasphemy law which could criminalize evangelists for sharing their faith, censor journalists, and ban criticism of Islam.
Former Labour MP and counter extremist expert Khalid Mahmood has warned that this definition will be exploited by Islamist groups to fuel division and suppress legitimate discussions.
Lord Walney, a former government adviser on extremism, has also sounded the alarm stating that Labour’s proposal would brand ‘taboo’ the subject. We need to be talking more about the definition ex hands extremists exactly what they want an excuse to silence opposition and suppress the truth, create a culture of fear where authorities hesitate to act against radical ideologies. And anyone raising fair questions about Islam’s influence in society will be branded a criminal.
There’s no need for this definition. Existing laws already protect against discrimination and hate crimes. Labour’s definition for Islamophobia risks giving Islam special protection that other religions don’t have at the expense of fundamental freedoms.
In other words, if you question Islam, you might be seen as opposing the law.
I wrote this pamphlet ‘The Quran and the Bible’ which does exactly that, question Islam. And what they want to do is to have a situation in which you can’t ask legitimate questions about Islamic beliefs, Islamic practice, Etc.
If they do that, then it’s an attack on free speech.
There is another article in the paper here which says: ‘New two-tier Justice Fiasco’ – Labour faced fresh accusations of a two-tier justice system last night amid astonishing moves to give minorities special treatment in the court.
All ethnic minorities and transgender people convicted of a crime should be treated differently according to measures due to come into force next month.
Conservatives said they could open the door for softer sentences for minorities, and risk making the courts anti-white and anti-Christian.
This reignited the row that erupted last summer after last summer’s riots, when critics said distinct groups were treated differently by the justice system.
The new rules distributed to magistrates and judges by the Sentencing Council yesterday said “It must be considered necessary for the courts to commission a pre-sentence report about criminals if they come from an ethnic minority, cultural minority or a faith minority community.”
The move which came following lobbying by respective groups and would also apply to all women and transgender criminals as well as others such as young adults and addicts. These ‘Pre-sentence reports (PSRs)’ often set out reasons why a jail sentence would be detrimental for an offender.
Tory spokesperson Robert Jenrick said,
“The new measure which would take effect on April the 1st would make a custodial sentence less likely.” He added, “Sir Keir Starmer sneered at people who said we have a two-teer justice system, but here you have it in ‘black and white’. We have an inversion of the rule of law. We now have a two-tier justice system under this guidance. Our justice system is set to have an anti-white, anti-Christian bias. This is blatant discrimination against straight white men.”
All this is pretty worrying if you think about it.
So, you can be let off if you’re a transgender, you’re a person of another faith, Etc.
So, if the police are knocking at your door just tell them you’re a lesbian, a drug addict, a transgender, and they’ll leave you alone. I’m joking but that’s really what it’s coming to. And it means that we’re heading for that kind of discrimination in this country.
Meanwhile, in the last weeks two weeks, there have been Eid Al-Fitr meals – which is the celebration meal which Muslims have after fasting all day on in Ramadan – held at St George’s Chapel in Windsor and at Westminster Hall, two of the most prominent places in the British establishment.
One is in Windsor, where the Royal family have it. There are people saying that King Charles is basically more sympathetic to Islam than he is to Christianity.
And the other is Westminster Hall with Keir Starmer saying how wonderful Islam is and how much we should honour Islam.
What this means is that in two of the most prestigious and significant places in this country they’re honouring Islam in place of Christianity. Does that bother you?
The establishment, the church, the monarchy, Parliament are all affirming Islam as a national faith to be honoured alongside Christianity.
I have a lot of briefs with nominal Christianity as a national faith but at least it is Christianity, and you have this affirmation of Islam in places of power. In all these events they say ‘Allah Akbar’ which means ‘God is great’ right? No, it does not. It doesn’t actually. It means ‘God is greater’, ‘Allah is greater’ or, ‘Allah is the greatest’. It means Allah is greater than your God.
So, every time they say that in a public place, they’re saying ‘We’re affirming our God who is greater than your God’. In other words, Islam is greater than Christianity. Basically, you should submit to Islam.
There’s an Islamic scholar called Robert Spencer who explained the idea. They’re doing this of course with the idea of making ‘good race relations’, including everybody, and showing that we’re not prejudiced, we’re not discriminating, Etc. But Robert Spencer, who’s an expert on this subject said,
“The idea of Ramadan providing a possibility of outreach to Muslims is a tragic and comic display of the failures and inherent limitations of the dialogue imperative.”

He said he was disturbed by the Vatican’s assumptions that arise from Vatican II declarations about ‘Muslims together with us adoring the God of Abraham’,
“… by participating in Eid Al-Fitr, the meal which Muslims hold after the fast of Ramadan. Christians are helping celebrate an imperative to conquer and subjugate them. Eid Al-Fitr is not just a meal. It’s the breaking of the Ramadan fast every evening. Ramadan is a month devoted to intensifying one’s observance of Islam and growing more righteous in Islam. The most righteous deed of all is Jihad, which prominently invokes warfare against and the subjugation of non-Muslims.”

The Hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad, “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad in reward.” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” In other words, the most important thing to do is Jihad. And as per Jihad, you should end up subjugating people who are not Muslims to Islam.
For the deceived establishment of our country, this is a way of bringing together faiths in the aim of a harmonious, multicultural society, but from the Islamic radical point of view, it’s a sign of the coming subjugation of Western society to their dominance.
I think that is what’s happening. And we see a great danger of the betrayal of the West.
I think Trump’s betraying much of the West as well with his present action in relation to Ukraine and Mr Putin but I won’t get into that one now.
We’re seeing a collapse of genuine faith in democracy, in our way of life. Our democracy and our Christianity and their replacement with something which is actually aiming at our destruction is now taking place. It’s very serious.
We need to pray about it. So I’ll just pray about it now before we get into the Word of God.
Lord, we’re ashamed when we see many things which are happening in our society which are so contrary to your will and to your Word, which are raising up those who are the enemies of your Word and putting down those who are propagating your Word.
Lord, we pray you have mercy upon us. We pray for this country which has strayed so far from you and for the whole Western world which is in such a crisis of faith, of belief, and is facing, in many ways, subjugation by forces which are totally hostile to what we would like to have in our society.
We pray you have mercy upon us, and we pray that you hold back the forces of darkness and that you help us also to remember that you are ultimately the Victor, and that in Jesus’ Name we do have the victory. We commit these things to you.
We pray for this court case which is going to take place on Friday in Aldershot, pray that it will go against those who want to suppress our freedom to preach the Gospel in public places, in our town centers.
And we pray that we’ll continue to have the freedom to preach the Gospel openly in this country. In Jesus’ Name, amen. Amen, praise the Lord.
