Should we pay to protect mosques?

I suggested that any taxpayers' money given to protect mosques should be conditional on a quid pro quo - for example that the mosques are open to scrutiny (to check for extremist literature and hate preaching) and possibly also be required to allow women in. But this should probably be a requirement anyway. Churches are open to everyone.

And it should also be a requirement for the "Sharia courts". Our own courts (except in very rare cases) are open to everyone. At the moment the only reason we know that the sharia courts are breaking the law (in trying criminal cases) is via undercover filming.

Why are we (the British) so trusting - especially with people that openly admit they don't have our own interests at heart?

Agreed.  Egypt has been Islamic since it was invaded by Muslims in the 7th century. 90+% are Muslims and the rest are subjegated and have to obey Islamic laws and Muslim cultural norms. Anything that was there prior is ancient history and has little or no cultural significance other than a few crumbling artefacts. The more modern Egypt that older people saw was influenced by the British of old, who encouraged a more modern outlook on society. When the British of old declined the Wahhabi types returned it to darker times.

The church was very much in control in our town during its history. In a way the church still is in control around here. This is why we have such a low crime rate. According to the grapevine the police themselves have a strong association with the church. The further our country departs from the faith, the further it will head towards its own destruction. No one in authority nationally tells the truth these days. If they were Christian, they would do it automatically. How many billions do we lose each year by someone lying to someone else. If you become faithless, you start to imagine lying can be justified. Another thing you start to think is life is no longer sacred and you become OK with killing people, e.g. 80% of the country agreed to sanctions agaisnt Russia, but having agreed thus far, they went on to be OK about using their taxes to kill the Russians. Christians would never allow our taxes to be used to kill people. The people will now sacrifice the health of their elderly relatives struggling to heat their homes in order to kill them as well. You can't get one over on god, even if you think you can. Anyone who supports this is destined for hell. We all hold responsibility. 

you seem to be conflating the church of England , and the United Kingdom multi national state. You do actually realise the Church of England isnt the church of the uk dont you? 

no church should receive money from government , and no Church of England bishops should sit in a legislature.

Of course , it's one trait the United Kingdom shares with that pillar of democracy Iran.....having clerics in its legislature.

not hugely different. No so called civilised 21 st century society should have clerics in a legislature for any reason in my opinion. 

I agree 100%. Just look at how the religious rightwing justices on the Supreme Court are dismantling the reproductive healthcare rights that American women had for fifty years. They're trying to turn America into Gilead.
