    Prince Charles: rise of populist political groups has disturbing echoes of the 1930s

    The globalist elites must be worried - wheeling out their big guns to try to stop the dam bursting.





    Charles' Thought for the Day sermon mixes religion with politics: Prince calls for tolerance and says rise of populist political groups has 'disturbing echoes of the 1930s'
    Prince of Wales took over BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day slot this morning





    The Prince of Wales said he was fearful of a new growth of fascism similar to that seen in Europe in the 1930s

    CHARLES' THOUGHT FOR THE DAY IN FULL

    Prince Charles delivered the BBC Radio 4 'Thought for the Day' this morning. His message in full was:
    'In London recently I met a Jesuit priest from Syria. He gave me a graphic account of what life is like for those Christians he was forced to leave behind.
    'He told me of mass kidnappings in parts of Syria and Iraq and how he feared that Christians will be driven en-masse out of lands described in the Bible. He thought it quite possible there will be no Christians in Iraq within five years.
    'Clearly, for such people, religious freedom is a daily, stark choice between life and death. The scale of religious persecution around the world is not widely appreciated.
    'Nor is it limited to Christians in the troubled regions of the Middle East. A recent report suggests that attacks are increasing on Yazidis, Jews, Ahmadis, Baha’is and many other minority faiths.
    'And in some countries even more insidious forms of extremism have recently surfaced, which aim to eliminate all types of religious diversity.
    'We are also struggling to capture the immensity of the ripple effect of such persecution.
    'According to the United Nations, 5.8 million MORE people abandoned their homes in 2015 than the year before, bringing the annual total to a staggering 65.3 million. That is almost equivalent to the entire population of the United Kingdom.
    'And the suffering doesn’t end when they arrive seeking refuge in a foreign land. We are now seeing the rise of many populist groups across the world that are increasingly aggressive towards those who adhere to a minority faith.
    'All of this has deeply disturbing echoes of the dark days of the 1930s. I was born in 1948 – just after the end of World War II in which my parents' generation had fought, and died, in a battle against intolerance, monstrous extremism and an inhuman attempt to exterminate the Jewish population of Europe.
    'That, nearly seventy years later, we should still be seeing such evil persecution is, to me, beyond all belief. We owe it to those who suffered and died so horribly not to repeat the horrors of the past.
    'Normally, at Christmas, we think of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I wonder, though, if this year we might remember how the story of the Nativity unfolds – with the fleeing of the Holy Family to escape violent persecution.
    'And we might also remember that when the Prophet Mohammed migrated from Mecca to Medina, he did so because he, too, was seeking the freedom for himself and his followers to worship.
    'Whichever religious path we follow, the destination is the same - to value and respect the other person, accepting their right to live out their peaceful response to the love of God.
    'That’s what I saw when attending the consecration of the Syriac Orthodox Cathedral in London recently. Here were a people persecuted for their religion in their own country, but finding refuge in another land and freedom to practise their faith according to their conscience.
    'It is an example to inspire us all this Christmas time.'

    back to charlie



    last year in saudi , sucking up to the rich there

    nice article here in
    biased bbc website

    Muslim First ? Biased BBC

    He spoke of other refugees coming into Europe who then suffered persecution from the ‘Populists’….a pretty disgraceful grouping of all those who voted for Brexit or want to limit immigration with Far-Right groups who use violence. Again no mention of Muslims or the fact that it is in fact they who are driving the new ‘1930’s’ rise of anti-Semitism


    Some of Britain’s leading universities are becoming no-go zones for Jewish students because anti-Semitism is so rife, the first ever higher education adjudicator has warned.
    Baroness Ruth Deech, a cross-bench peer who formerly held the highest office dealing with student complaints, said that institutions may be failing to combat hatred against Jews as they “afraid of offending” their potential benefactors from Gulf states.

    I doubt Thailand has anything to worry about.
