Oxford’s Magdalen College has in the past celebrated St. George Day on April 23rd with a ceremonial dinner; this year, however, St. George Day plans have been scrapped, and Magdalen will instead host a formal dinner to mark “Eid al-Fitr” – the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. In Britain’s celebration of diversity, there is room for only the one observance, not both.
PJ Media GB News reported Wednesday that “an annual St George’s Day dinner has been cancelled by an Oxford college.” Magdalen College “usually holds an annual banquet to mark the day of the English saint, with students and academics dining together to enjoy a traditional feast.”
As far back as 2006, the UK’s Daily Mail reported that “the Church of England is considering rejecting England’s patron saint St George on the grounds that his image is too warlike and may offend Muslims.”
St. George didn’t end up getting deep-sixed altogether, but he was severely deemphasized, and not just by the Church of England. In May 2013, the Telegraph noted that in the town of Radstock, Somerset, “a local council decided against flying the flag of St George after concerns were raised that it would offend the town’s 16 Muslim residents.” In April 2016, according to the Express, the Bristol City Council “refused to host St George’s Day celebrations because the area is ‘too Muslim.’”
Stories of this kind are all too easy to find. According to Breitbart, on April 23, 2020, Britain’s Secretary of State for the Department of Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, “thanked Muslims for their Ramadan ‘sacrifice’ on St George’s Day, but made no mention of the English national day itself.” Hancock added: “I want to say to all British Muslims, thank you for staying at home. I know how important the daily Iftar is, how important communal prayer is at night, and how important the Eid festival is.” Nothing about how important St. George’s Day was, because it wasn’t.
GB News stated that “the Oxford college will hold a formal dinner for Eid on April 23 – despite the annual festival actually taking place two days earlier.” Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the monthlong Ramadan cycle of fasting all day and gorging all night. It’s a peculiar insult to those who value England’s heritage that St. George is being ignored on his own feast day, and Eid al-Fitr celebrated on that day instead, despite actually falling this year on April 21.
Oh the irony !
If only they knew the college was named after a Jewess. Mary Magdalene of the Bible.
Magdalene, pronounced maudlin, is where the word for sorrowful comes from, because of her grief at the Crucifixion.
This Islamophobia- Muslim pandering has got to stop!
In the United States Biden and his confederates are purposely doing everything they can to destroy this nation and usher in the one world government.
Should we allow this, the penalty is to be more severe than we can possibly imagine.
Muslims deny the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and it is their duty to put the knife to the throat of anyone who professes the Triune Jehovah, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the One God.
Not only that but it is their mission to kill and strike terror into the hearts of anyone or any nation who refuses to accept their false prophet and deceiver Mohammed.
UK be warned!
The last days are upon us!
Our Constitution here is being purposely destroyed and you will find the answer why in the following:
“DONE in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth
IN WITNESS whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names, GEO. WASHINGTON—President and deputy from Virginia
We are a Christian nation but we are a backslidden reprobate nation ( the Uk is too) and it is this corrupt government’s pursuit to administer the coup de grace.
It was by unanimous consent the 9 states (of the original 13 colonies) present, correctly gave attendance to the singular most important event ever to have occurred in the history of mankind, the fleshly presence of God in His natural and mortal creation.
The Jews had it right, only God can forgive sin!”
His means of doing so was accomplished by the hands of wicked men, His being horribly abused beyond recognition, His being raised up naked upon that Cross, His bodily death (the body only dies), and His subsequent resurrection.
Only the perfect sacrifice can at once and for all atone for the sins of all mankind for as many that believe and are washed in His blood.
The Jews just did not comprehend who it was standing before them, the Lamb of God.
“He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.”
“If you believe not that I am He, you shall die in your sin”
Now is the hour of salvation.
You must believe else you are standing at the foot of the cross with mockers.
How come Muslims can’t handle other people’s religion but expect us to bow down to theirs?
It’s not like the Oxford students were going to be going around quoting the Bible or anything.
They do that because we keep caving to their religious demands.
The islamists, through muslim advocacy groups, crime and terrorism, plus climate change guerrillas throwing soup on art works, and transgender thugs intimidating female athletes, compose the front line muscle of a neo-marxist push to fracture western societies to bring on the Revolution that they believe will liberate humanity. Instead it will only empower a tyrannical elite to rule over people as the new equivalent of serfs, slaves and drones. They will have us eating insects while they dine on steak. Your transportation will be bicycles while they fly via private jets. Increasingly it is apparent that there is a need for marshal self-defense against these forces and their useful idiots.
100 % concur
When you have Liberals in positions of any Educational institutions/boards/businesses/corporations and so on, it all turns to shit because Liberal = Shit. This isn’t Calculus, Advanced Algebra, This is basic plus/minus math. As a country you are being out populated by Vernon who are hell bent on your demise all be it with the help of Libtards that you elect .
Damn auto-correct feature, I’m sure you meant vermin. That’s what fits into your context.
Why are they concerned about offending muslims but not about offending Christians?
Because they expect Christians to turn the other cheek, but they are scared to death of muslims responses when their more fervent don’t get their way.
