A Bishop has said Islamic extremism has turned some communities into no-go areas.

The Right Reverend Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, Bishop of Rochester, has said Islamic extremism has turned some communities into no-go areas. He said those of a different race or faith may find it difficult to live or work in some areas due to "hostility".

This is what all immigrants have had to endure in Britain. I don’t recall any Bishop tackling that issue.

He said there had been attempts to impose an Islamic character on certain areas like amplifying the call to prayer from mosques, which non-Muslims may not wish to hear 5 times a day.

He did not provide any evidence to back up his claims. Neither is he aware that noise levels are strictly enforced by the local councils on mosques and churches alike.

Mosques and churches abide by the same rules and it is absurd to suggest any mosque is allowed to flout any regulation.

The Bishop is against providing multi-faith provisions in hospitals, prisons and educational establishments according to the “real need” of the people. Why? Because that would mean cuts in funding for chaplains.

Is that what extremism is all about?

He feels that the “establishment of the Church of England is being eroded” and that without the black churches and recent arrival of East Europeans “the Christian cause in many of our cities would have looked a lost one”.

So, how do you save a “lost cause”? Blame others?

The Bishop recently also attacked Muslim hypocrisy by alleging that they use "dual psychology" in which they sought "victim hood and domination".

Does this ring any bells?

In the past he has said that people were "too worried about offending Muslims". Clearly, he feels the need to address the balance.

The Muslim Council of Britain previous statement of "We would normally expect a bishop to display more humility and work towards bringing communities closer together rather than contributing towards fostering greater divisions" is true, once again.
