Guest Bilo Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 Anti-gay preachers banned from UK A father and daughter from a US church which preaches hatred of homosexuals have been banned from entering the UK by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith. Fred Phelps and his daughter Shirley Phelps-Roper from the Westboro Baptist Church had urged protests against a play being put on in Hampshire. Queen Mary's College in Basingstoke is staging The Laramie Project, a play about a man killed for being gay. The UK Border Agency said it opposed "extremism in all its forms". A spokesman added: "Both these individuals have engaged in unacceptable behaviour by inciting hatred against a number of communities. "The government has made it clear it opposes extremism in all its forms. "We will continue to stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country. "The exclusions policy is targeted at all those who seek to stir up tension and provoke others to violence regardless of their origins and beliefs." The Westboro church's website advertised the picket which was set to take place on Friday, proclaiming: "In merry old England they plan to further enrage the living God by putting on the farce known commonly as The Laramie Project. "We will picket them, and see if they actually believe those lies they tell about how tolerant and accepting Brits are." Hampshire Police said they were aware of the planned protest and officers were monitoring the situation. The church was unavailable for comment on whether it expected UK-based members to carry out a protest at the college. Members of the group - based in Topeka, Kansas - have denounced homosexuality for years and have in the past targeted the funerals of Aids victims. In 2007, the church was told to pay $10.9m (£5.2m) after its members cheered a soldier's death as "punishment" for US tolerance of homosexuality.
Monk Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 I'd rather see Jacqui Smith barred from the country!!

Zingari Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 my auntie gaye was a lesbian , it was very confusing
lazeez Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 I find it quite amusing that they are called anti-gay preachers instead of Christian Fundamentalists or Extremists. Now if they were muslims, i am pretty sure they would be classed as terrorists
Daggers Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 If only they could find a mad homophobic Christian in England to take up there cause for them. I wonder if a person like that even exists?

Dr The Singh Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 I wonder if the border agency will halt any BJP party members when they come into power in India.................I doubt it, the political losses would be massive!! This has just opened a can of worms, who comes in and goes will not essentially be decided by there 'extremism' but by what the government has to lose or gain!!! For those that don't know, the BJP are the largest if not second largest political party in India, they are part of the 'Sang Parivar', and are a hardline fascist party that believes in the 'hindutva'(India for hindu's), hence want to kick christains and muslims out of the country!!!!! Not to say the congress party isn't extreme, it's members have had there hands stained with acts of genocide!!!

I'm not sure they're gone around blowing things up yet

Dr The Singh Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 Is that the point at which you become a terrorist?Interesting question. I think it's at the point of where you make a low definition video of yourself spouting aload of shit about religion and revenge in a terribly unfashionable outfit???????
Finnegan Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 I think it's at the point of where you make a low definition video of yourself spouting aload of shit about religion and revenge in a terribly unfashionable outfit??????? Pretty much [/thread]
The People's Hero Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 I think it's at the point of where you make a low definition video of yourself spouting aload of shit about religion and revenge in a terribly unfashionable outfit??????? I might suggest that makes it in to the next policy wording!
