Slay the Pagans????

[rhionnach]

According to what has been said on a forum I'm on another reason for the PF deciding to cancel the conference is because of a radio broadcast on Radio 4 on Sunday morning when they broadcast an excert from the Koran that urges:

"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them"

As the area has a high Muslim population this made the PF feel unsafe and so added to the risk.

What a pile of poo.

Apparently the decision to cancel was taken the Saturday before the radio show.

Some time ago my best friend was Muslim, he explained that for them Muslim was best, then the other Abrahamic religions. Anyone not following one of those religions was considered less than human and didn't matter, thats the pagan reference. For them anyone not following the 3 religions is a pagan.

Doesn't the bible have negative comments in it as well about pagans/witches?

London pagans (including myself) offered to continue the convention and work to get new speakers etc in. There will now be an alternative event which I am waiting to get the details on.

Generally London Pagans seem to feel let-down and abandoned by the PF.
