Radical Islam is filling void left by collapse of Christianity in UK
The decline of Christian values is destroying Britishness and has created a “moral vacuum” which radical Islam is filling, one of the Church of England’s leading bishops has warned.
The Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, claimed the “social and sexual” revolution of the 1960s had led to a steep decline in the influence of Christianity over society which church leaders had failed to resist.
He said that in its place, Britain had become gripped by the doctrine of “endless self-indulgence” which had led to the destruction of family life, rising levels of drug abuse and drunkenness and mindless violence on the streets . . .
The Spectator carries this related report: The Islamisation of Britain and links to this editorial in the Church of England newspaper titled: Religious trends and our religious future. It reports:
. . . The point is that Islam is being institutionalised, incarnated, into national structures amazingly fast, at the same time as demography is showing very high birthrates. Charles Taylor’s new and classic work on the Secular Age charts the rise of the secular mindset and what he calls the ‘excarnation’ of Christianity as it is levered out of state policy and structures. Christianity is now regarded as bad news, the liberal elite’s attack developed in the 1960s took root in the educationalist empire, and to some extent even in areas of the church.
Today the Christian story is fading from public imagination, while Islam grows apace . . .

The tide is running out on our Christian civilization. We won’t see it come back in during our lifetime.
since the days of Henry V111 England has gone down hill so whats the surprise? It seems to get a tingly feeling in placing honors on pro-drug culture singers and composers like the beatles…so big deal
This is what happens to a Christian Nation when they go into the closet. I have been saying that the Church has gone into the closet, and everyone else is out; and mind you, they are out in a big way.
When Christians sit back and keep quiet, what do you expect? The Muslim religion is taking over along with the extreme secular world. We have no one to blame but the government and the church.
When you give the Muslims a pass on everything they want, such as special prayer rooms. Oh no – you better not give that same privilege to a Christian. When you quash the Christians, this is what you end up with.
