Remember the Liverpool suicide bomber? The Syrian “refugee” who tried to murder dozens, if not hundreds, of pregnant women and babies — but, thanks to a quick-thinking cabbie, fortunately only managed to turn himself into a human falafel?

Of course, you don’t remember. Because the mainstream media have made sure that public awareness of this sadly run-of-the-mill Muslim atrocity has vanished from the headlines faster than the murder of Sir David Amiss.

The same media who still yammer about Anders Breivik and Brenton Tarrant at every opportunity can always be relied upon to Memory Hole any and every outbreak of Mohammedan mayhem. Even if that means lying through their teeth and claiming that a Muslim suicide bomber was a “Christian convert”.

No, he wasn’t. The Liverpool bomber, we now know, was just another failed asylum seeker gaming the system with the disgraceful and inexcusable complicity of the Church of England.

His name was Emad Al Swealmeen and, as Kurt Zindulka reported for Breitbart, he ‘converted’ to Christianity in order to cheat his way into British citizenship.

We know perfectly well that “asylum seekers” will tell all manner of lies in order to swindle their way into the West and its generous welfare system. We’ve seen balding, six-foot-six “teenagers” and “gay” men with wives and children in tow. Even The Guardian has admitted that people smugglers run a roaring (and hugely profitable) trade in fake “Taliban death threats”.

Another scam in the fakefugees’ armory is claiming to be a “Christian convert” facing persecution back ‘ome in the ummah.

In 2014, Emad Al Swealmeen had his first asylum claim rejected. The would-be bomber proceeded to launch “appeal, after appeal” in order to prevent any deportation proceedings. He then underwent a five-week course to convert to Christianity — ultimately confirmed in Liverpool Cathedral in 2017 — to convince immigration authorities that he should be able to stay in the country.

This is, of course, totally allowable under Islam: taqiyya is one of several forms of permissible Islamic deception which rule that it’s perfectly OK to lie to the infidels, even to deny their Islamic faith.

This ought to be scandalous enough — if the media didn’t spend so much time hiding its reality — but what is really shocking is how much this deadly deception is being willingly enabled by the Anglican church in particular. This is, remember, supposed to be the Established Church, the bastion of Englishness itself. Instead, the Church seems all too willing to bare England’s throat to the knife.

The Established Church, instead of saving souls, is regularly putting them at risk by enabling potential terrorists like Al Swealmeen to slip in through the back door.

If Al Swealmeen had succeeded in blowing up anyone other than himself, it would not be a stretch to say that the Church of England had blood on its hands.

Christian ‘conversion’ appears to be an established route for would-be terrorists. For example, Khairi Saadallah, who stabbed three people to death last year in a Reading park, was another failed asylum seeker who ‘converted’ to Christianity.

What makes this so inexcusable is that the Church appears to be fully aware of what is going on.

There seems to be something about Anglicanism in particular that breeds an endless river of tilty-headed wokesters in rainbow cassocks.

Migrants exploiting the church has been a longstanding issue, with then-Dean of Liverpool the Very Rev Pete Wilcox admitting in 2016 that “mixed motives are not unheard of” in migrant conversions.

He went on to say that the same fervour for conversions was not present in Muslims who already attained British citizenship, saying: “I can’t think of a single example.”

‘Mixed motives are not unheard of’. Isn’t this just exactly the kind of mealy-mouthed circumlocution you’d expect from a senior cleric in the Church of England? He wrote in the Mail:

The Church councils and synods are permeated by activists who each have a single-issue, often faddish agenda, whether it is about cultural correctness, ‘climate change’, identity politics, multi-culturalism (which actually encourages communities to live separately) or critical theory on race, religion and gender – a neo-Marxist theory developed to create conflict by dividing people into victims and villains.

Whether the Catholic church is currently any better under the disastrous current pope Bergoglio is a moot point. But Nazir-Ali is certainly spot-on in his suggestion that the Church of England has utterly lost its purpose.

As an example of how far the CofE has fallen, consider the bollocking delivered to the Rev. Jamie Franklin, for suggesting on Twitter that having children in marriage was a good and blessed thing to do. Franklin cited scripture to back his argument.

But instead of receiving support from his fellow clergy they lined up to condemn him […]

Breitbart

A church that combines this kind of woke nonsense with enabling apparently aspiring suicide bombers to gain asylum isn’t just moribund but a dangerous liability.

It might be thought that, in the Long March through the Institutions, the Church would be one of the last bastions of Christendom to fall.

In fact, it’s been one of the first to cravenly surrender.
