The view from up north

It appears that the Church of Scotland has a much better grasp of common sense and the responcibilities of a state that the Church of England

David Lacy, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland offers a different response to Islamist terrorism and its enablers to that offered by Church of England bishops yesterday:

SCOTLAND'S most senior churchman says extremist Muslim clerics should leave the country, and has branded them "hypocrites" who treat their neighbours as "enemies".

Church of Scotland Moderator, Rev David Lacy, also accuses radical Islamists of speaking out "against us from within" while receiving "heart operations and care on our system".

He added that those who believed it was Christian to "turn the other cheek" to such extremism were misunderstanding the Gospel message

They are actually willing to say that people that come to this country should act as immigrants and intergrate rather than as colonists, sponging off the natives while looking forward to the destruction of the host society. I guess there are less Muslims up there so the number of Islamists hinding within them will also be smaller. Meaning he is less likely to end up with a knife sticking out of him for expressing the truth.
