SHAME ON YOU ISLAMOPHOBIC PASTOR McCONNELL

Islamophopic racist pastor from Northern Ireland is facing six months in prison for making allegedly “offensive” remarks about Islam.

The controversy began back in May 2014, when Islamophobic RACIST pastor James McConnell, 78, gave a sermon where he described Islam as “heathen” and “satanic”.

Northern Ireland’s Public Prosecution Service has said in a press release that McConnell violated the 2003 Communications Act by “sending, or causing to be sent, by means of a public electronic communications network, a message or other matter that was grossly offensive.” The offence carries a sentence of up to six months.

Raied al-Wazzan had been leading the push to have RACIST McConnell prosecuted for a year. “This is inflammatory language and it definitely is not acceptable,” he told the BBC back in May 2014. Adding that he would hold RACIST McConnell “responsible for any racial attacks on any Muslim in Northern Ireland.”

Around this time, in early June 2014, Raied al-Wazzan was using the publicity generated by the controversy to lobbying land for a new mega-mosque. “It is a cultural centre that we are looking for and not just a mosque,” he said on local radio, adding in a statement: “We will provide the funds to build the cultural centre but we need the land from the government.”
