“A teacher at a Tottenham secondary school [outside of London] has been suspended for allegedly harassing and intimidating his colleagues over a row about gay rights. History teacher and practising Christian Kwabena Peat, 54, wrote letters to three members of staff at Park View Academy, in Langham Road, following the training session. Invited speaker Sue Sanders had ruffled feathers when she asked the audience why it was believed that heterosexuality was natural and that those who did not accept being gay was normal had to “sort out their prejudices”. Mr Peat condemned the comments made by the gay rights campaigner and co-founder of Schools Out, which conflicted with his religious views. The letter also contained citations from the Bible warning that practising homosexuals risked “God’s wrath.” A complaint was made to the school’s headteacher claiming they felt “harassed and intimidated” by Mr Peat’s letter. He was suspended on full pay from his £50,000-a-year post in January while an investigation, which ends next month, was carried out.” [Independent]

He was suspended and not fired? So…that is bullshit.

Attention Perez Hilton, Barney Frank, Ellen Degeneres, Elton John, Boy George, Melissa Etheridge, etc! Unfettered TOLERANCE for everything and everybody has GOT TO STOP! Your very LIVES may depend on it!
I HAVE to explain what I realized recently!
I just finished reading “Quiverfull” by Kathryn Joyce. An excellent book. Her name and the name of her book are easily googled for reviews! Look her up!
A small point she hit on regarding the gay lifestyle REALLY got me thinking. First, please consider the ever-growing population of Muslims. While the population within Western culture is being ever-encouraged to reduce their numbers through birth control and abortion, those of the Muslim faith are being encouraged to produce as many children as physically possible within the span of time Muslim females are physically able to conceive. So, I think it would make sense that there are WAY more babies being born who will be raised in the Muslim faith than babies born to people within Western culture, whether it be Christian, Jewish, Gnostic, Atheists, etc. Would it also make sense that if this trend continues, and it may take a couple generations for it to WIDELY noticed, that Muslims will VASTLY outnumber non-Muslims? What also needs to be considered is that one thing that sets gay people apart from all this is that they cannot reproduce AT ALL (except through artificial means), thus further prohibiting the pro-creation of those tolerant of the gay lifestyle.
With that out of the way, let me ask this question. How many of you are familiar with the Islamic view of homosexuality? If you are not familiar with it, with a little research you will find that, to those of the Islamic faith, homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of Allah, and unquestioningly punishable by death. (well, there is a FATWAH somewhere saying that the RECIEVER, rather than the GIVER should be killed, or something like that.)
So, in taking all this in consideration, if the trend continues of WAY MORE Islamic babies being born than babies born to those who are tolerant of the gay lifestyle (due to continued reduction of numbers because of the use of birth control and abortion), and considering that gay people cannot reproduce AT ALL, would it not stand to reason that there will be LESS and LESS people born who are tolerant and supportive of gay rights and the gay lifestyle?
It also needs to be considered how VERY FEW of the Islamic population openly profess to being gay, due to fear of being persecuted and/or killed!
When those of the Western culture become a minority (which is likely to happen if Muslims continue reproducing at the rate they are), I fear we we see less and less those who speak up for the rights of gay people. Now tell me if this makes sense to you…..
IF YOU ARE GAY, or supportive of the gay lifestyle, also being tolerant of those who follow Islamic teachings is certainly counterproductive. If you declare yourself TOLERANT OF EVERYTHING, chances are good that your tolerance could very well lead to your own self-extinction!
Just something to think about……….

Teresa,
1) Muslims are never going to become a majority in any of the Western nations (unless you count Israel). So that isn’t going to work as a scare tactic.
2) Muslims moderate the longer they spend time in Western cultures. One of my exes is a Muslim (obviously, he’s not very devout). One of my law school mentors was a gay Muslim. There’s a conflict, yes, but it is the same conflict that Christian gay men and lesbians faced in the past (and not the very distant past, mind you; sodomy carried the death penalty as late as 1860 in Britain).
3) The Quiverfull people want to reimpose sodomy laws, among other things. They’re quite foolish in assuming that their children will adopt their beliefs, but that’s another matter.
