Senior bishops have warned that the freedom of Christians to express their beliefs is being eroded following the introduction of equality laws.
In a letter to The Sunday Telegraph, prominent clerics, including Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, argue that supporters of homosexual rights must not be allowed to "coerce silence".
Their comments centre on a landmark legal challenge by a churchgoing couple who were banned by a council from becoming foster parents because they believed homosexuality was unacceptable.
The bishops claim that the case, which is expected to begin at the High Court this week, will determine whether Christians can continue to be express their beliefs in this country.
They fear that the ruling has the potential to exclude people of faith from adopting or fostering children and enshrine the discrimination of those with traditional Biblical views.

And Now For Something Completely Different…
…Well, not different at all, actually. It’s more of the same, just moved across the Channel and/or the Atlantic.
As Vlad says, Anjem Choudary is so helpful to our cause that we might as well put him on the payroll. Silver-tongued taqiyya artists like Imam Rauf and Tariq Ramadan soothe us with pretty lies, but Mr. Choudary reliably gives out the straight dope on Islam, every time, without fail. Sharia for him, for me, and for you, by suasion if possible, by murder and terror if necessary.
Straight from the horse’s mouth:

All Christian beliefs will eventually be silenced. Satan, the prince of the power of the air, knows he'll be bound and thrown into Hell someday. He's on a mission to destroy lives. Don't let him win in your family. Tell others about Jesus. Tell the children He died to save them from their sins and from a life of bondage.

Libtards like Joy Behar can't wait for the day she's forced to wear a burkah, and will never have to hear a word about Christianity again.
Stupid beeyotch.
