London Closes 500 Churches; Opens 423 New Mosques
March 5, 2018 Baxter Dmitry News, UK 141
The city of London has closed 500 churches and opened 423 new mosques, and now allows sharia courts to operate in the city.

The creeping Islamization of London is almost complete, with hundreds of official sharia courts operating in the capital, and mosques opening where famous Christian churches have stood for many hundreds of years.

“London is more Islamic than many Muslim countries put together“, according to Maulana Syed Raza Rizvi, one of the Islamic preachers who now lead “Londonistan“, as the journalist Melanie Phillips has called the English capital. No, Rizvi is not a right-wing extremist.

Nobel Laureate for Literature,Wole Soyinka, was less generous. He called the UK “a cesspit for Islamists“.

“Terrorists can not stand London multiculturalism“, London’s mayor Sadiq Khan said after the deadly terror attack at Westminster last year. The opposite is true: British multiculturalists are feeding Islamic fundamentalism.

Above all, Londonistan, with its 423 new mosques, is being built on the sad ruins of English Christianity. Many iconic Christian churches in London have been converted into mosques.

Gatestone Institute reports: The Hyatt United Church was bought by the Egyptian community to be converted to a mosque. St Peter’s Church has been converted into the Madina Mosque. The Brick Lane Mosque was built on a former Methodist church. Not only buildings are converted, but also people. The number of converts to Islam has doubled; often they embrace radical Islam, as with Khalid Masood, the terrorist who struck Westminster.

The Daily Mail published photographs of a church and a mosque a few meters from each other in the heart of London. At the Church of San Giorgio, designed to accommodate 1,230 worshipers, only 12 people gathered to celebrate Mass. At the Church of Santa Maria, there were 20.

The nearby Brune Street Estate mosque has a different problem: overcrowding. Its small room and can contain only 100. On Friday, the faithful must pour into the street to pray. Given the current trends, Christianity in England is becoming a relic, while Islam will be the religion of the future.



In Birmingham, the second-largest British city, where many jihadists live and orchestrate their attacks, an Islamic minaret dominates the sky. There are petitions to allow British mosques to call the Islamic faithful to prayer on loudspeakers three times a day.

By 2020, estimates are that the number of Muslims attending prayers will reach at least 683,000, while the number of Christians attending weekly Mass will drop to 679,000. “The new cultural landscape of English cities has arrived; the homogenised, Christian landscape of state religion is in retreat”, said Ceri Peachof Oxford University. While nearly half of British Muslims are under the age of 25, a quarter of Christians are over 65. “In another 20 years there are going to be more active Muslims than there are churchgoers,” said Keith Porteous Wood, director of the National Secular Society.

Since 2001, 500 London churches of all denominations have been turned into private homes. During the same period, British mosques have been proliferating. Between 2012 and 2014, the proportion of Britons who identify themselves as Anglicans fell from 21% to 17%, a decrease of 1.7 million people, while, according to a survey conducted by the respected NatCen Social Research Institute, the number of Muslims has grown by almost a million. Churchgoers are declining at a rate that within a generation, their number will be three times lower than that of Muslims who go regularly to mosque on Friday.

Demographically, Britain has been acquiring an increasingly an Islamic face, in places such as Birmingham, Bradford, Derby, Dewsbury, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Luton, Manchester, Sheffield, Waltham Forest and Tower Hamlets. In 2015, an analysis of the most common name in England showed it was Mohammed, including spelling variations such as Muhammad and Mohammad.

Most important cities have huge Muslim populations: Manchester (15.8%), Birmingham (21.8%) and Bradford (24.7%). In Birmingham, the police just dismantled a terrorist cell; there is also a greater probability that a child will be born into a Muslim family than into a Christian one. In Bradford and Leicester, half the children are Muslim. Muslims do not need to become the majority in the UK; they just need gradually to Islamize the most important cities. The change is already taking place. “Londonistan” is not a Muslim majority nightmare; it is a cultural, demographic and religious hybrid in which Christianity declines and Islam advances.

According to Innes Bowen, writing in The Spectator, only two of the 1,700 mosques in Britain today follow the modernist interpretation of Islam, compared with 56% in the United States. The Wahhabis control six percent of mosques in the UK, while the fundamentalist Deobandi control up to 45%. According to a survey from the Knowledge Center, a third of UK Muslims do not feel “part of British culture.”

SHARIA COURTS IN LONDON

London is also full of sharia courts. There are officially 100. The advent of this parallel judicial system has been made possible thanks to the British Arbitration Act and the system of Alternative Dispute Resolution. These new courts are based on the rejection of the inviolability of human rights: the values ​​of freedom and equality that are the basis of English Common Law.

British personalities keep opening the door to introduce sharia. One of Britain’s leading judges, Sir James Munby, said that Christianity no longer influences the courts and these must be multicultural — which means more Islamic. Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, and Chief Justice Lord Phillips also suggested that British law should “incorporate” elements of sharia law. The British cultural establishment is rapidly capitulating to Islamic fundamentalists in accepting their demands.

British universities are also advancing Islamic law. The official guidelines of the university, “External speakers in higher education institutions“, published by Universities UK, provide that “orthodox religious groups” may separate men and women during events. At Queen Mary University of London, women had to use a separate entrance and were forced to sit in a room without being able to ask questions or raise their hands — as in Riyadh or Tehran. The Islamic Society at the London School of Economics held a gala, in which women and men were separated by a seven-meter panel.

After the attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, the head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, recommended self-censorship and “some restraint” in discussing Islam. The British ambassador in Saudi Arabia, Simon Collis, converted to Islam and completed the pilgrimage to Mecca, the hajj. He now calls himself Haji Collis.

What will be next?

I have posted before, a few years ago the atheist club at a college in Silicon Valley had an approved activity, "draw god day", use sidewalk chalk to draw mocking deity pics in the campus square. The Muslim club said if anyone mocked them there would be violence. The defacto outcome was they could hold the activity as long as they didn't offend Islam.

I do find it a bit interesting, and troubling, that Islamic radicals demand rights in the US that are forbidden to Christians in Islamic nations.

This is rather fascinating, especially since Collis was born into a Jewish family and is said to have converted to Islam sometime before marrying his Syrian Muslim wife in 2011. Then there is the laughable report of the British foreign office professing shock when a photo began circulating of Collis and his wife wearing their white hajj robes while standing in front of the seal on the British consulate in Mecca.

Similar things have occurred here in America. While he didn't convert to Islam, Grover Norquist seemed to have followed a similar path of having married a Muslim wife relatively late in life and then seemingly embracing all things Islam. Right after 9/11, Norquist was involved in getting numerous Muslim 'leaders' with very questionable pedigrees access to the White House and President Bush.

I believe it is saying that 500 have closed in London, using “the city (small ‘c’) of London to denote the geographical area, not the government. The article later went on to cite attendance figures and Islam conversion rates, suggesting that Londerners aren’t supporting Christianity.

The government is, however, tacitly responsible for the Islamist creep in the bias it places on multiculturalism and unrestrained immigration.

Your interpretation is probably correct. Referring to the published news article, do schools not teach anybody how to write a meaningful sentence? How about "500 churches have closed in the City of London?" This would not imply that "The City" has closed the churches. Crappy sentence structure in the original article, and the editor was asleep at the wheel.

Perhaps it was translated from the original Arabic.
English is a secondary language in London, or it soon will be.

This is a problem for a lot of the former colonial powers. The demographic chickens of their former colonies are coming home to roost. Look at what's happening in Paris.

Sad...

We visited London several years back it was vastly changed from my previous visit in the early 80's. Full of muslims. Apparently it has really taken a turn for the worse now.

Wonder WHEN we hit the tipping point? Where people finally say NO to their bullshit and the holy war starts? Or worse yet...if EVER?

No its not. The government of Britain is completely responsible for...

• Inviting in hordes of savages with 'zero' marketable skills and 'zero' cultural benefits for Britain.
• Excusing lawlessness and savagery under the guise of political correctness and diversity.
• And through the use of moral equivalency, has put Islam, a 'claimed' religion (which it is not), on the same footing with, and equivalent to, Christianity. Then Christianity has been demonized at every turn for its incompatibility with, and contradiction of, Islam.

I am the definition of the concept of "live and let live" when it comes to practicing whatever religion you choose. But when a false religion (Islam) seeks to savage with the intention of completely eliminating all other religions, its time to push the invaders into the sea.

But completely explainable. Leave Christianity, and the other adherents will wish you well. Leave Islam and the other adherents will kill you.

We might also consider basic human nature. Humans as a whole are drawn to 'strength'. Islam is many things, most horrible, but it is very strong and unwavering. People, especially those who are weak of intellect and character, are draw to be a part of the bigger herd, seeing it as the eventual winner of the religious battle. And the corruption in American churches has had a terrible impact on their credibility and character, making holding onto to members difficult.

They, and much of the rest of Europe, are in deep shit. The picture above is no joke, and it's not the first of its kind I have seen. We had better take heed.

Just a matter of time before this happens to cities in the U.S. like Detroit, MI.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hopefully, the ignorant American voters take note of what happened in London and Detroit and don't continue their liberal, progressive socialism ideas. On second thought, there is no help for these brainwashed idiots. I have no doubt they will run this country into the ground, than scratch their heads and wonder how it happened. The direction of this country is clear with all the Bernie and Hillary supporters. I am still shocked and appalled that half of the US are the new socialist democrats!

I moved to Toledo from Cleveland about 10 years ago. This past Christmas I was back in Cleveland and we went up to the mall. I was blown away at how many muslims were there.

It's already happening.

We spit at God and praise "multiculturalism." We are getting exactly what we have asked for.

The City of London, which measures approximately one square mile, contains 50 churches, most of them dating back to the reconstruction of the City of London after the disastrous fire of 1666. Sir Christopher Wren was responsible for most of them, including the iconic baroque splendour of St Pauls Cathedral.

There are, as far as I am aware, no mosques in the City of London, which is home to Bank of England, the Stock Exchange, Lloyds Insurance and literally hundreds of financial institutes and banks.

Perhaps the writer of this piece is confusing the City of London with 'London the metropolitan area' of some thousand five hundred square miles and 16 million people?

Could be, as there is no such place as London city.

And BTW, Snopes says this article is pile of shite - https://www.snopes.com/fact-ch...ens-423-new-mosques/

I had no idea that the City of London was only approximately one square mile...
But you learn something new every day:

The City of London is a city and county that contains the historic centre and the primary central business district (CBD) of London. It constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the agglomeration has since grown far beyond the City's borders.[3][4] The City is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of London, though it remains a notable part of central London. Administratively, it forms one of the 33 local authority districts of Greater London; however, the City of London is not a London borough, a status reserved for the other 32 districts (including London's only other city, the City of Westminster). It is also a separate county of England, being an enclave surrounded by Greater London.

The City of London is widely referred to simply as the City (differentiated from the phrase "the city of London" by capitalising City) and is also colloquially known as the Square Mile, as it is 1.12 sq mi (716.80 acres; 2.90 km2)[5] in area. Both of these terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's trading and financial services industries, which continue a notable history of being largely based in the City. The name London is now ordinarily used for a far wider area than just the City. London most often denotes the sprawling London metropolis, or the 32 London boroughs, in addition to the City of London itself. This wider usage of London is documented as far back as 1888, when the County of London was created.
