Legal Mishmash

Now I don't know about you, but I got the impression from recent court cases in the UK, that employers could ban certain religious symbolism .... well, actually mainly Christian crosses.

Crosses Banned In 2012

..... Others such as the Muslim headscarf, beards or shaved heads etc, couldn't be banned. This had something to do with the others having human and religious rights, and, well, apparently Christians didn't. So Sikhs with their turbans, or Jews with their Kippah (the little hat they wear on their heads), are also OK, but what about those Jewish hair locks (called Payot's), the ultra orthodox Jews wears?

Conspiracy Of Silence

There is a conspiracy of silence amongst Western political and religious leaders, whenever Muslims go on the rampage in non western countries .... for instance when the mosques whip up a mob, and launch them on to the streets to attack 'crusaders' (aka Christians), nothing is said, no matter how many Christians are killed.

Amongst the fall out of the Charlie Hebdo affair, righteous mobs were launched out of mosques in many countries after Friday prayers, to avenge the honour of their prophet .... by, well, killing, raping, burning and ultimately dying in his name.

In Niger for example, in the second city of Zinder, 'demonstrators' set fire to Christian churches, and raided shops that were run by Christians. They were apparently crying out in the local Hausa language: "Charlie is Satan - let hell engulf those supporting Charlie" ... which is apparently an excuse to burn down churches, and burn out Christians homes and businesses (after looting them of course).

Predictable Reaction From The Religion Of Peace

Similar events happened in Karachi and Lahore in Pakistan and Algiers in Algeria and Khartoum in Sudan .... although a lack of any Christians left after previous such events in the past few decades limited the effects there.

So did anyone protest about the violence visited on the Christians in Niger? No. Not one word from any western politicians, and of course stone cold silence from Muslims in the West .... of course ironically, usually more Muslims are killed in these rampages than non-Muslims, but that doesn't lessen the fact that innocents are killed, simply for being Christians in the lands of Islam.

The double standards employed by everyone in regards to the treatment of Muslims and Christians in the West and the Muslim world would be breathtaking, if it wasn't so predictable for the current brand of western leadership.
