The present government has betrayed the family and suppressed our Christian heritage, announced Nigel Farage this week.
The MEP, who represents the UK Independence Party, expressed concern that fear of causing offense has resulted in “Notting Hill claptrap about diversity”.
“We need a much more muscular defence of our Judaeo-Christian heritage” added Mr Farage. “Yes, we’re open to different cultures but we have to defend our values.”
His comments were made in an interview with the largely unsympathetic Telegraph journalist Cristina Odone. During the interview Mr Farage criticized the present government for their “betrayal” of the family, adding “This has been the most anti-family government we have ever seen. The very fact that they pushed for gay marriage, and thought that it was important at a time when not even Stonewall was campaigning for it, shows you their twisted sense of priorities.”
The UKIP leader also criticized the type of ‘equality’ that takes cultural tolerance so far that it turns a blind eye on horrific practices such as female genital mutilation. “We go on about equality but under our noses, female genital mutilation has been going on in this country. Tens of thousands of women a year, but is anyone talking about it? It’s brushed under the carpet.”

[…] « We Should Defend Our Christian Heritage, says Farage […]
Not just our Christian heritage, but “our Judaeo-Christian heritage” . Yet Jews don’t recognise the status of Jesus. It could be our Islamo-Judaeo-Christian heritage, since Islam shares with Jews and Christians in recognising Abraham, Moses, and others, and (unlike Jews) also Jesus, albeit only as a prophet. Jews and Muslims both insist on male genital mutilation, but not female . This is something which some Muslim families choose (especially those from Egypt and the horn of Africa), rather as some Christian families choose male genital mutilation (especially those from the USA ).
