I’ve seen a few social media posts, mainly from the US picking up on a parade in London being banned. The posts usually express outrage contrasting this “Walk with Jesus” being banned in case it offends Muslims whilst Muslim festivals and parades are allowed It’s important to be factually clear about this.

I saw this claim on Facebook recently. It seems that the person posting knows nothing of either history or the human heart. History is sadly full of examples of antisemitism and violent atrocities against Jews. Here in England, there are too many brutal examples. There was the massacre of Jews trapped in Clifford’s Tower, York… Continue reading Would the Bondi Beach massacre have been less likely without Muslim immigration?
