Why Are Muslim Refugees Converting to Christianity?

Rev Sally Smith baptises a group of refugees at St Mark’s Church in Stoke-on-Trent. This isn’t an isolated case. Churches across western Europe have been welcoming a growing number of refugees, some of whom choose to become Christians. There are many reasons for this, but for priests like Smith, all that matters is that everyone feels safe and welcome, even if it means losing much of her original congregation

Bloody Dhimmitude! The Stupid, Weak, Fawning Brits!
MAIL ON SUNDAY: Schools are being urged to rearrange tests, cancel swimming lessons and stop sex education to avoid offending Muslims during Ramadan.

Head teachers in Stoke-on-Trent have been issued with the guidance for treatment of Muslim pupils who may still be fasting when the new term starts in September.

But critics dismissed the advice as ‘over-zealous’ bureaucracy and said all pupils would be forced to miss out on activities as a result.

During Ramadan, all Muslims who have reached puberty avoid eating or drinking between sunrise and sunset to encourage discipline and self-restraint.

To help them with this, Stoke council advises schools not to schedule exams or hold parents’ meetings and social events after school.

They should also avoid swimming lessons because some parents and pupils consider the risk of swallowing water too great.

It even advises schools to cancel sex education because Muslims are expected to avoid sexual thoughts while fasting.

Although the guidance was specifically drawn up to help Muslims, it will affect every pupil in the 89 schools in the Potteries. Council forces schools to rearrange exams and cancel lessons to avoid offending Muslims during Ramadan >>> Claire Ellicott | Sunday, July 11, 2010

UK: Muslim Jailed for Killing BNP Neighbour

Stafford Crown Court was told that Khan and his family had been subjected to "racial hostility" by his neighbour prior to the attack on July 6.

Khan, of Normacot, was cleared by a jury of murdering Mr Brown and instead convicted of manslaughter following a trial in May. [Source: ITN] | August 29, 2008
