Nick Griffin and the British National Party are keen to portray themselves as on the sides of traditional British culture. They see a gap in the market that they can fill. While other parties surrender to multiculturalism, Islam, and politically correct secularism, the BNP stand up for traditional British Christianity. This is nonsense. There is nothing Christian about the BNP.
On the BBC’s ‘Question Time’ programme, British National Party leader Nick Griffin stated:
If Muslims do stay in this country they must remember that Britain is essentially a fundamentally British and Christian country’. The BNP is a ‘Christian’ party that can save ‘Christian culture’.
The BNP have created a front organisation called the ‘Christian Council of Britain’, headed by BNP activist and electoral candidate Robert West who leads religious services at various BNP events, including the party’s ‘Red, White & Blue’ and reportedly preaches on topics such as ‘the importance of nationalism’ and how “homosexuals do greatly err”. For West, a multi-racial society is a form of ‘Holocaust’, with immigration used to create “Lebensraum” for the Third World. Despite initially denying any connection with the BNP, West has admitted that the BNP “encouraged and facilitated” its establishment.
Why the BNP are not Christian
- There’s nothing Christian about the BNP’s ethics. For Jesus Christ, humanity was all part of one family. Christianity from the outset taught a universal message which dissolved the idea of race or nation, teaching that it is of no significance to God. He said that we should love our neighbour, preach the good news and understanding to all nations. He taught the parable of the Good Samaritan, to show our true neighbours were not just those from the same race. Most of all, he abhorred violence and the hatred that is fascism’s speciality.
- The BNP use Christianity as an excuse to attack Muslims. Rather than refer to the actual teachings of Christ, the BNP’s favoured role model are the Crusaders. In a letter, Nick Griffin wrote “We will never allow our children to become a minority in our homeland! We will fight to the bitter end, just like our Crusader ancestors, to preserve our Christian culture and heritage. The spirit of the Medieval Knights lives on in all of us!”
- The BNP’s use Christianity as an excuse for their homophobia. British fascism has a history of extreme homophobia. While the party’s policy is no longer officially to ban homosexual activity, they are always keen to claim that homosexuals are an affront to Britain’s ‘Christian heritage’.
- The BNP’s real ideology is pagan. Christianity, of course, is a “foreign import”, and for the extreme activists within the BNP inner circle, like all other imports it must be purged.
The BNP’s Foreign Affairs spokesman Arthur Kemp wrote in his March of Titans that “the introduction of Christianity has to count as the single greatest ideological catastrophe to ever strike Europe.”
Ever since Himmler’s obsession with the occult, there has been a strain of Paganism with fascism, as zealots attempt to reclaim a purely European religion.
Lee Barnes, the BNP’s legal director, is a particular fan:
Christianity is a semitic religion, it is creature [sic] of the deserts of the Middle East not the forests of the Northern Europe [sic] and its symbol the cross is an instrument of torture not of living redemption’. In place of Christianity, Barnes advocates Odinism, the worship of the Norse pagan gods of pre-Christian Europe, and he connects the Odinic ‘tree of life’ (Yggdrasil) with a religion based on race: ‘The roots represent our descent from the Gods and our connection to the Earth, the trunk represents our shared European racial heritage, the main branches of the tree our nations and tribes, the twigs on each branch represent each family unit and each single leaf symbolises an individual life.By the editors of There's Nothing British About the BNP

HOPE not hate, Norfolk remembers the fake cleric Robert West very well. He is already a familiar figure to the people of Norfolk who recall the battle for Norwich North last summer, when West stood for the BNP.
He was soundly trounced at the ballot box then, just as the pathetically inadequate BNP candidates in Norfolk deserve to be soundly trounced this Thursday - as long as enough of you turn out to vote!
They deserve to be trounced not just because they have cruel opinions and weird ideas but also because the BNP candidates are simply not up to the job of providing the leadership required in these challenging times.
It all depends upon you, the Voter.
And how exactly are pagan beliefs native to this country way before the import of christendom 'loony'?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, organisations such as this make false claims that they are pro-multiculturalism but seem to completely forget about those who lived here before the new arrivals.
The author and their 'politically correct' friends should hang their heads in shame at the seeming bias they show towards the original British culture prior to other alien beliefs, races and ideologies.
As an agnostic I confess I find superstitions and religious mumbo-jumbo pretty loony, and I have some difficulty with respecting people's superstitious delusions when they make no practical sense.
ReplyDeleteIMO the sooner we have complete separation of religion and state the better. Let people practice whatever beliefs they wish, if legal, in the privacy of their own homes and community centres, but let's keep all that stuff away from politics and the laws of the land.
