A Belfast preacher will be prosecuted for referring to Islam as “satanic” and claiming that its doctrine was “spawned in hell.”

During a sermon at his Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle in May 2014, 78-year-old born-again Christian pastor James McConnell denounced Islam as a “heathen” religion, saying it was barbarian and Godless.

Although the pastor initially defended his remarks, a huge public backlash and accusations of Islamophobia forced him to publicly apologize for any offense his sermon caused the Muslim community.

Despite his apology, Northern Ireland’s Public Prosecution Service informed McConnell last week that he was to receive an “informed warning” regarding his words. The warning is not a conviction and would allow the preacher to avoid prosecution, although it would remain on his criminal record for a year. …

Interesting. The style, vocabulary and language do appear consistent with something a man of his period would have written.

I make note of this because one way to spot bogus founding father quotes is in the flagrant use of cotemporary style, vocabulary and language. Even including sometimes modern idioms.

Pastors should start quoting what the Founding Fathers had to say about the subject. That would be ‘historical’ referencing and would get the point across just as well.

There is no Allah but Satan, and Muhammad was his murdering pedophile.

Islam is a satanic belief and Lucifer is Allah in Persian.

“Northern Ireland’s Public Prosecution Service...”

Well, Irish cousins, you have a name. Now all you need is an address. Go get the nutty, left wing bastards and hang them upside down from their toes.

BTW, this a pure BS operation: “a huge public backlash and accusations of Islamophobia forced him to publicly apologize for any offense his sermon caused the Muslim community.”

There was no HUGE public backlash. It was a manufactured social media clusterf*ck paid for by the Nazi Soros.

After you’re done hanging the leftist pajama boys there, go visit the neo-Nazi pigs on social media infecting your country.
