This was how the Archbishop of Canterbury remembered 9/11 by presenting a Muslim cleric with an award for interfaith goodness. This presentation took place on the anniversary itself. Photographed with the woman from head to toe in Islamic garb.
The wife in attendance, her face behind the black niqab and her eyes llowed the little slit only. The other woman is a little freer with her face and mask. Oppressed wife Oppression of women not to dare to show face.
Now that the Archbishop has discovered that the Muslim cleric, who is named Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi, praised Bin Laden and had given high honours to Al Qaeda chief in Pakistan she has withdrawn the award in Canterbury.
Her office of administrators advising along the lines of advice they have given to Archbishops over the years like hide up parents letters when they knowingly on fact accuse bishops and priests of abuse (Bishop Ball and Archbishop George Carey, remember?) did not do their homework on the Pakistani cleric.
He called Hamas and their massacre of Israelis on October 7th "freedom fighters" and congratulated them. He supports the Pakistani blashphemy laws, death for critics of Islam. What place has he got in this country? Who gave the slightest thought to this man being with our Archbishop of Canterbury receiving awards? She wants to be like the on-stage rappers and the tik tok and the liberal lefties no doubt. Embracing modern day insults to the British people. What of the ordinary people in this country? What has happened to our church? It is little wonder that congregations are small, collection plates are diminishing all the time, and the Christians of Africa are disconnecting with Canterbury. What of Nigeria, what must the bishops there think of the Church in England? Does the Archbishop even know of the splits in Nigeria and the fear of Al Queda?
Award now withdrawn but the damage was done. What a useless person with her staff and her loose views when the church needs to be pulling together the prayers for each individual and the sermons to give meaning and taken from the scriptures of old with good messages for the flock where the flock can learn of 40 days and 40 nights, and water into wine, not bended knees for murderers and terrorists.

I have written about the same event myself today. An absolute disgrace; the church should know better!
