This is yet another signal that the Brits are waking up (thanks to Religion of Pieces for sending this in to us):
BRITAIN’S oldest chain of church bookshops is to remove the Koran from its shelves because it believes it is “inimical” to Christianity.
The decision not to stock any non-Christian holy text has been taken by SPCK Bookshops, formerly part of the 308-year-old Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.
In practice, the Koran is the only text affected because those of other religions such as Judaism and Hinduism were rarely stocked by the shops, which are located near many British cathedrals or in their precincts.
“Stocking books which are inimical to Christianity, which without question the Koran is, could well create the wrong impression among some that we endorse the belief systems of other religions as equal or viable alternatives,” said Mark Brewer, the Texan lawyer who chairs the trust.
The stated aim of the trust is to take the bookshops back to the missionary roots of the SPCK and reverse the advance of Islam and secularism.
The new approach is likely to offend some in the Church of England who promote a more accommodating approach to Muslims ...
The trust says on its website that Britain has become “extremely secularised in recent years and witnessed an explosion of Islam”, and adds that it intends to “re- establish Christianity in areas where it has been driven out”.
The change of direction has dismayed leading Muslims. Ibrahim Mogra, who chairs the inter-faith committee of the Muslim Council of Britain, said: “Islam is currently under the spotlight. It is misunderstood and has been abused by some who have carried out violence in its name. Now is the time for people to have access to the Koran and the writings of Islam. This will help people understand the faith and what makes Muslims tick.”
Yeah, I think we all know what makes Muslims tick, Ibrahim. As Religion of Pieces says, "What do they mean, like, "tick tick tick tick ...
KABOOM!!!"
