| Press Statement For immediate Release 18 July 2013 Christians consider ways to stem the flight of black British youths to Islam and radicalisation Christians and Muslims met in London on Wednesday 17 July 2013 and considered why young black Britons are abandoning Christianity in favour of Islam; why some converts are being radicalised; and what Christian churches can do in response. The all-day seminar informed, shocked and challenged in equal measure. Speaker Richard Reddie, author of ‘Black Muslims in Britain’ (Lion 2009) explained that the journey from Christianity to Islam amongst British blacks date back to the 1960s, and continues to be an expression of black people’s search for identity and certitude, which converts say they do not find in Eurocentric Christianity; including black churches. Also, a lack of clear answers to questions about some central tenets of Christianity, such as the trinity, proves problematic for converts. As one told Reddie, ‘Islam provided answers to questions I’ve always had; it’s helped me walk a straight path; it’s given my life purpose’. That converts tend to be more zealous is a further to challenge the churches, and the number of converts is growing. ‘Time is not on the Christian church’s side’, Reddie said. Adverse social conditions such as racism, bad experiences in the Criminal Justice System and deprivation contribute to alienation from society and from churches associated with its value system. Rev Ade Omooba, Co-Chair of NCLF- A Black Christian Voice with colleague Fred Williams, led the meeting in examining horrific images of killings by beheading, burning and the use of machetes in north Nigeria. They explained that the recent killing in Woolwich is symptomatic of common occurrences in places such as north Nigeria and Burmah. Omooba and Williams told the meeting that these atrocities are a consequence people being radicalised so that they lose respect for life. This trend is also becoming evident in Britain. The seminar heard that a key recruiting ground for radicalisation is prisons where black men are overrepresented. Dr R David Muir, Co-Chair of NCLF – A Black Christian Voice, described the mass incarceration of black people in the UK, similar to the US, as the ‘New Jim Crow’ and a blasphemy against the image of God in black people. British black youths are however at risk of radicalisation in several other spaces, and Taalib Alexander, a former Catholic now a convert to Islam, teacher and director of Alhambra Educational Initiative highlighted family, social class, race and ethnicity as potential contributories or triggers for radicalisation. Alexander described a three-stage radicalisation process of dissatisfaction, renunciation and terrorism and highlighted funding cuts to programmes such as STREET – Strategy To Reach Engage and Educate Teenagers. Finally, seminar attendees focussed on appropriate responses by the churches. Jennifer Crook, Diversity and Inclusion Advisor for the Methodist Church, encouraged zero tolerance of the ‘blasphemy’ of racism in British society which alienates black British young people and renders them vulnerable to alienation and therefore radicalisation. Crook also encouraged churches to aspire to be more than places of shelter from socio-economic, and political storms and instead to become spaces that lead on the quest for a just society. Other responses highlighted were interfaith dialogue, affirming masculinity, countering propaganda, teaching tolerance, helping young people to understand and embrace their cultural and spiritual identity, viewing conversion to Islam as a challenge not a disaster, raising awareness of atrocities around the world, training Christian ministers and lay people to be better able to explain their faith, ensuring iconography affirms black identity (blond-haired blue-eyed Jesus in Black churches is unhelpful for black self-image), encouraging inter-faith dialogue, and putting pressure on government and education authorities towards an inclusive and affirming curriculum. ‘Radicalisation is like a virus, its airborne, it mutates, it’s like a cancer and must be destroyed or it destroys you’ said one contributor. This statement, the minutes of the seminar, and PowerPoint presentations will be circulated widely throughout the churches and other organisations; and further multi-agency planning will take place in the coming months to take forward these and other anti-radicalisation ideas. However, it is expected that black churches and agencies will take primary responsibility for this agenda.

Affirmative action
ReplyDeleteAffirmative action (known as positive discrimination in the United Kingdom, and as employment equity in Canada and elsewhere) refers to policies that take factors including "race, color, religion, sex, or national origin"[1] into consideration in order to benefit an underrepresented group "in areas of employment, education, and business".
...Following the transition to democracy in 1994, the African National Congress-led government chose to implement affirmative action legislation to correct previous imbalances (a policy known as Employment Equity). As such, all employers were compelled by law to employ previously disenfranchised groups (blacks, Indians, and Coloureds). A related, but distinct concept is Black Economic Empowerment...."

Color blindness (race) in the United States
ReplyDeleteColor blindness (sometimes spelled colour-blindness; also called race blindness) is a sociological term referring to the disregard of racial characteristics when selecting which individuals will participate in some activity or receive some service. The rationale for "color-blind" practices is that racism and race privilege no longer exercise the power they once did, and/or that treating people equally leads to a more equal society. As described by Chief Justice Roberts, "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race, is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."

How will TERP impact UNCTAD?
http://defendingthetruth.com/money-finance/27766-how-will-terp-impact-unctad.html
Response to question "How will TERP impact UNCTAD?":
Under Total European Racial Policing (TERP) identities in their jurisdiction are non negotiable. Therefore, Economic Imbalances that is the result of Racial Power Imbalances will never be corrected in a TERP environment because the racial hierarchical value system is designed to construct and maintain those imbalances.
This illustrates the points made in the previous post.

Equal protection and affirmative action
Thomas believes that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment forbids consideration of race, such as race-based affirmative action or preferential treatment. In Adarand Constructors v. Peña, for example, he wrote "there is a 'moral [and] constitutional equivalence' between laws designed to subjugate a race and those that distribute benefits on the basis of race in order to foster some current notion of equality. Government cannot make us equal; it can only recognize, respect, and protect us as equal before the law. That [affirmative action] programs may have been motivated, in part, by good intentions cannot provide refuge from the principle that under our Constitution, the government may not make distinctions on the basis of race."

Response to question "What is the importance of the relationship between life and identity?":
Response:
A person's identity determines the life and the life of a person constructs and maintains that person's identity.
Furthermore, a person's identity determines the faith they have and who they work for.
Christians consider ways to stem the flight of black British youths to Islam and radicalisation
ReplyDeleteResponse:
The following questions may provide clues to the causes:
Is not the identity of British Black Christian a confused identity?
Is not the identities of British, Black and Christian three separate identities?
Do the Black Churches teach White Christianity and as part of those teachings the blond blue-eyed Jesus?
Is Islam viewed by Black Youths as being antagonistic to the White Power Structure?

Power can be measured as the ability of a speaker to penetrate individual listeners inspiring them to change their lives and thereby acquire a new identity.
Does Dr. Umar Johnson have this Power?
How does Total European Racial Policing (TERP) impact the ability of a person classified as Black to change their lives and thereby construct and maintain a new identity?
