Amritsar - Virtue Signalling Archbishop's Grovelling Apology

Here we go again. Just months after then Prime Minister, Theresa May, did so in Parliament yet another prominent British figure feels the need to apologize for the Amritsar Massacre perpetrated by a rogue British general during the British Raj in 1919.

Not content with laying a wreath and whispering a silent prayer in remembrance, the head of the world Anglican Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, turned virtue signaling to an embarrassing display of undignified groveling. (See here)

Prostrating himself face down before the memorial plinth was over the top even for an agenda driven Archbishop who is more concerned with things temporal than things spiritual such as saving souls and preparing them for eternity.

One is bound to ask what is it about that terrible event in Amritsar a century ago that compels politicians to keep apologizing for it when British colonial history is littered with similar atrocities, particularly in Africa?

The answer is simple; being the cynical, duplicitous people that they are, politicians recognise that the Indian diaspora in Great Britain is a significant voting block that can swing an election whereas the African diaspora is not.

Like the Roman Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis, Archbishop Welby is a left-wing activist who is not shy to make public his support for socialist causes or his fanatical support for the undemocratic tyranny that the European Union has become.

This support for ‘progressive’ causes includes the Islamisation of Great Britain regardless of its barbaric practices or its goal of subjugating Christians and Jews or, failing that, killing them.

For a global church leader the Archbishop appears to be ignorant of events worldwide where his fellow Christians are being systematically erased by Muslims from areas they have lived in since the dawn of Christianity.

Ancient Christian communities are being erased from Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria as well as Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Across Africa from Mali and Nigeria in the west to Kenya, Sudan and Somalia in the east, Christians are being enslaved and slaughtered in their tens of thousands. As far afield as Sri Lanka, Indonesia and the Philippines Christians are being slaughtered by the so-called religion of peace that the Archbishop champions.

Apart from the Archbishop and the Pope, it is acknowledged around the world that Christianity is now the most persecuted religion on the planet. Even the governments in the predominantly Judeo-Christian continents of Europe and America, Christianity is being vilified and removed from the public square. 

If he took a short walk from his residence at Lambeth Palace, Archbishop Welby could prostrate himself face down on Westminster Bridge where an adherent of Islam murdered four innocent civilians or have his chauffeur drive him to London Bridge, Tavistock Square, Aldgate, Manchester Arena and elsewhere in his home country where Muslims have murdered innocents in the name of Allah, as commanded by their prophet and in accordance with their holy book, the Koran.

As we commemorate the eighteenth anniversary of the World Trade Centre atrocity where Muslims murdered almost three thousand people and injured a further six thousand, it is incumbent upon the Archbishop to make the pilgrimage and prostrate himself face down at Ground Zero or else the world might think his theatrical performance in Amritsar was a nothing other than a virtue signaling publicity stunt.

To conclude: While Archbishop Welby is virtue signaling and apologizing for events from a century ago he is ignoring the fact that his flock at home is dwindling and his empty churches are decaying into dereliction or being turned into warehouses, vehicle workshops and mosques or demolished at the behest of land developers.

It appears that disparaging one’s own country and apologizing for events in history is the in thing to do for the new ‘woke’ generation of political leaders, including Barack Obama, and high-profile personalities like the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Pope of Rome.

The Pope Changes Attitude To LGBT's - Gays Replacing Giant Panda As The Global Mascot

Many people are at a loss to understand why with all the problems facing mankind such as hunger disease, poverty, terrorism etc. the worlds leaders are obsessing about homosexuality. When the spiritual leader of South Africa's Christian community, Desmond Tutu, declared that he would rather go to Hell than a homophobic Heaven, it had the effect of triggering a response from the Pope himself.

After addressing three million loyal followers in Brazil, the Pope, not to be outdone by a former Archbishop, signaled a change in his attitude and, by extension the Catholic church, to homosexuality.

The Pope has now joined the global political elite who appear to have nothing better to do than spend their valuable time on a tiny minority of people who have been denied by accident of creation the normal attractions intended by nature.

Judging by the amount of global publicity given to this exclusive group one would think that the image of a gay couple will shortly replace the giant panda or the polar bear as the worlds most recognizable icon.

It is obvious that sexuality is the latest trendy cause to be adopted by the global 'progressive' elite now that the 'Combating Climate Change' hysteria is cooling along with the planet.

Leaders around the western world are tripping over themselves to fall into line with homosexual marriage legislation, from France's socialist imbecile, Francois Hollande, and Great Britain's media created David Cameron, to the so called leader of the free world and increasingly tyrannical, Barack Obama.

David Cameron flushed with success has had a sudden rush of blood to the head and is sending his gay marriage legislation team on a global mission to force all countries to pass similar legislation.

The world is waiting with mouth watering anticipation to witness his teams efforts in the Muslim world.

While the Pope and the former Archbishop Tutu are coming out and western leaders are bending over backwards for the homosexual cause, other deserving minorities, and more pressing problems, are being ignored.

One would have thought that these two religious leaders would spend their time preventing Christians  being massacred in ever increasing numbers around the world or preventing Tibetan culture from being eradicated by the Chinese.

Next door to Desmond Tutu's crime ridden rainbow nation, Robert Mugabe has been indulging in an orgy of rape, murder and oppression in Zimbabwe with hardly a word from him. Where were the UN and the western leaders when Mugabe was on his murderous rampage for thirty three years?

The same goes for other tragedies around the world where these leaders could better spend their time and talents in addition this tiny minority.

The biggest issue that should be of concern to everyone is that none of these charlatans has a mandate to impose the biggest social change ever on their respective populations. These changes were imposed ignoring all opposition from wherever it came.

There are many questions that remain unanswered:

How come this rush to legislation is taking part all over the western world simultaneously?

This is a global initiative that was decided behind closed doors. Who decided and where?

Who is co-ordinating this legislative charge, is it the UN, the G8, the G20, the EU or some other shady group?

Why was this massive social change not put to the various people's via referendums?

To thinking people this issue is not only about homosexuality or gay marriage but the ability of a minority of elite politicians to co-ordinate massive social change via legislation, on a global scale, without the consent of the people.

This action is not the precursor to global government by a secretive elite but a clear demonstration that an elite can impose massive social change on the western world at will and without recourse to then people.
