We all remember this guy https://www.nairaland.com/1339201/deacon-banned-uk-inciting-hate, it seems the tide is gradually turning against him, as there are at least some good Christians who knows that there should be no place for lies, slander and hate mongering all in the name of criticizing Islam and fighting some phony terrorism.

Kolbe Academy, Robert Spencer and religious liberty


The Catholic Diocese of Sacramento acted wisely in canceling Robert Spencer’s speaking engagement on church property. Kolbe Academy Home School should now consider canceling his speech entirely at their conference in Sacramento later this month.

Spencer is a co-founder, along with Pam Geller, of Stop Islamization of America (SIOA), a shrill and increasingly violent hate group that specializes in stirring up religious bigotry against innocent people.

Spencer poses a clear and present threat to religious liberty, and his hateful rhetoric makes a mockery of the values that most Americans cherish.

In a recent conference in Tennessee, attended by law enforcement because of escalating hate crimes in the area, Geller and Spencer’s SIOA followers cheered at the mention of a mosque that was burned down.

Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League correctly writes that Spencer and Geller promote “a conspiratorial anti-Muslim agenda under the pretext of fighting terrorism.”

He compared it to the anti-Semitism that became fashionable a century ago in Europe, beliefs that led to the Holocaust, history’s greatest crime, and reduced Europe to rubble.

To defeat terrorism, America needs allies — indeed, the best intelligence against religiously motivated terrorism invariably comes from America’s frontline friends in Muslim-majority countries.

By blaming all Muslims rather than the minority who are terrorists, hate-mongers like Spencer would deprive us of our best partners.

Religious bigotry is bad for everybody. When hate-mongers stir up bigotry in a community, Sikhs — and other groups wearing religiously mandated clothing — often become targets of hate crimes.

South Asians, even Latinos, report violent encounters by people insisting they are “terrorists.” When will we learn how dangerous and irresponsible stirring up religious hatred is to people in all faith communities?

Religious liberty isn’t just Fourth of July rhetoric; it’s the very basis of the American way of life. That means freedom isn’t just for your religion, or mine — it’s for everybody.

It’s smart, it’s simple and it works; but religious liberty must be defended by patriots willing to stand up to hate-mongers.

Religious liberty is for all people, but it resonates well with the best Christian values. The parable of the Good Samaritan is a timeless appeal to look beyond religious labels to the behavior of individuals.

The Good Samaritan belonged to a despised religious group; yet as Jesus points out, his behavior was far more compassionate, and hence more exemplary, than the actions of the self-righteous upholders of religious orthodoxy.

This was clearly Jesus’ attempt to teach us, through the medium of an inspired parable, that the good or bad behavior of individuals trumps the prejudice that we hold against groups. The parable of the Good Samaritan suggests the supreme importance of religious tolerance in civil society.

As usual Deacon Spencer praise singers could imitate this guy in the video if you feel the need to let off some steam;
