A further gem from the 1689 Bill of Rights

Roman Catholics could not be king or queen of England since "it hath been found by experience that it is inconsistent with the safety and welfare of this protestant kingdom to be governed by a papist prince". The Sovereign was required to swear a coronation oath to maintain the Protestant religion.

I see a strong similarity between the "experience ..[finds].. that it is inconsistent with the safety and welfare of this protestant kingdom to be governed by a papist prince" to the experience that is being accumulated all over the world (Scandinavia, The Netherlands, France, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Southern Russia, Balkans) that it is inconsistent with the SAFETY and WELFARE of non-Islamic populations to share the same territory and polity with Islamic populations.

Previously our esteemed contributor from India IK pointed out that the Muslims in India are of the same blood and ancestry as their Indian compatriots. Still they are a violent and leeching group disproportionally harming the SAFETY and WELFARE of their non-Islamic compatriots. The British Roman Catholics of 17th century were the blood brothers of the British Protestants, and it took time before they could be shown the error of mixing Church and State. Today's growing Muslim populations in Western nations are not only NOT our brothers by blood. But also their holy writ, the Qoran insists that State, Legislature and Religion must be one, under the Islamic Caliphate. Unlike the 17th century Catholics who could eventually be shown the biblical foundation of the separation between Church and State.

Christianity is not opposed to the separation of State and Church. On the contrary the separation of Church is a Christian inheritance. Leftist Secularists often compare Islamism with Christian Fundamentalism. This shows ignorance of the history both of the West and the Bible. Never mind that there are some Christian loonies such as the extremist pro-life fringe that uses violence to further their goals. They are loonies and they can be delt with.
