Nativity scene is 'banned' in case it offends one of the FOUR Muslims living in a Belgian town
Daily Mail ^ | December 20, 2016 | David Burke

A traditional nativity scene will not be put up in a Belgian town this year, amid claims it was scrapped in order to avoid offending Muslims.

A former leader in Holsbeek, about 20 miles outside Brussels - claims there will be no manger to mark the festival because it would be 'too provocative'.

The decision not to put a nativity scene up was supported by the ruling coalition of the Christian-Democrats and the Green Party.

But the Flemish-nationalist N-VA party called for locals to attend the town’s next assembly meeting - and to each bring a nativity scene with them.

Islam is a war plan.

What if I find headscarves or hijabs offensive of anything related to Islam? Then they should live under the same rules. Of course, my belief system doesn’t compel me to conquer or oppress.

I used to be tolerant, definitely when it came to people's clothing. But hijabs, niqabs, burkas, chadors and male head scarves are now used as weapon of oppression against my way of living in my home country. Sad to say I am not tolerant at all any longer!

Easy solution- remove the four so as not to offend

The filthy Muslims need to be deported back to where they came from. Let them wipe each other out. Maybe in a few hundred years a remnant will emerge from them who will know how to be civilized and play nice with the rest of the world.

But current alderman Annelies Vander Bracht said the decision had nothing to do with Muslims. She said: 'We did it because there needs to be a separation between church and state.' ...And she continued: 'Gays or victims of paedophile priests would not be too thrilled by a symbol of the church either.

It sounds like anti-clerical attitudes by real Belgians, rather than immigrants.

The problem with Europe is the EU. The EU is run by godless bureaucrats seeking to exchange democratic European culture for a more manageable mongrelized moslem horde population. The goal is to secure their permanent thrones of power. Get rid of Brussels and Berlin and Europe may breathe free again.

Isn’t there a church or private citizens who can put them up on private property?

I know if our town banned manger scenes in the town square, that would happen in a heart beat.

That the baby Jesus so offends muslims reaffirms that everything in the Judeo Christian Bible is right.

Are there any Christians left in Belgium?

Because if there aren’t, then there is your first problem.

The birth of Jesus offends muslims? The birth of Jesus also offends satan. Do we see a connection here?

How long will it be before this Belgian town accepts Sharia Law in order to avoid offending Muslims?

Given that most of Europe is moving away from Christ, there is a vacuum ready to be filled by Islam.

It’s said that instead of going door-to-door singing carols, the townspeople are planning to send little boys to the moslem homes for the mens’ ‘entertainment’.

Be sure to use plenty of Vaseline, kids.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

The truly amazing thing is that they don’t fear angering the majority of their citizens over their ‘rulings’. It just goes to show who these politicians really fear... and it’s not their long-time citizens.

But the Muzzie call to prayer will blare from a loud speaker coming from the mosque.

To be fair, most Moslems would have no issue with the nativity scene. That’s an excuse put forth by leftists
