God’s place in a humanist society (11) [Locul lui Dumnezeu într-o societate umanistă]

Few things appear to be more disturbing for Big Brother than the Lord of the Christians, the God-Man Jesus Christ, Whom must be banished from the public space of this once-Christian-nation, so that the irreligious, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Wiccan etc wouldn’t be offended.

Unlike Him, all other gods are not only acceptable, but encouraged to appear in the open, so that their presence would prove Britain’s tolerance and multiculturality. Very often though, these gods are imposed, along with the array of absurd rules of their followers.

Such an excess of political correctness – supposedly meant not to trouble people of Islamic faith and their traditions – occurred in some British schools for girls aged 11 to 18, in Leicester, Lancaster and London.

These girls are forced to wear a burqa when they come to school, irrespective of their family and ethnic traditions that may not make such a garment compulsory! It is well-known that this tradition is not an ‘obligation’ in many Muslim countries.

Yet it is enforced in 21st century Britain! And this happens while, just across the English Channel, in Belgium and France, the wear of burqa in public spaces has just been outlawed this year.

I doubt that there are other European nations as tolerant and as less ‘anti-Islam’ as the British are, but how long could they take these abuses of political correctness? Aren’t they fed-up with Big Brother condoning human rights abuses of intolerant minorities?

How come only the God-Man, Jesus Christs, is viewed as subversive, and wearing a cross is deemed offensive, while a bunch of Islamist fanatics – not even representative for the 1.5 million of decent Muslims in the UK – are pampered?
