Some are more familiar with the way the British occupiers pronounced it “Bombay”. It’s got a huge Muslim presence, so does India in general. Under the British “protectorate” because it’s not polite to call them Imperialists anymore. Even though the Queen does still hold the title of Empress. That’s beside the point. Under the protectorate Britain called the following “India”; Iran, Pakistan, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka which used to be Ceylon, there’s been a lot of name changes, Thailand was Siam until I was 11 years old, you know, and knowing the younger readers think I’m ancient… but no, these changes were pretty much around my lifetime. But there’s a Church in Mumbai. No big deal, right? Before the English took possession of the entire region after the Napoleonic wars, we are taught in Merka are used to calling it the War of 1812, which “our” participation was mainly getting stomped by the British a few times and calling it a draw, and Andrew Jackson simply taking Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, the Mega-Rez called Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, in case you’re not paying attention you notice that there’s a lot of native names, and Indiana was ceded to the Tribes “for as long as grass grows” you know the lying spiel…
The British and their allies took a lot more than that. Like India. The “French and Indian War” was referred to as the 7 Years War and still is called that everywhere except to our bumpkin backwater podunk pseudo-democracy ‘merka. Even Canada refers to the proper name.
Churchill called it the “REAL” first world war. It was that big. So were the Napoleonic Wars. /history lesson, for now.
Anyhoo… this church surrounded by a huge Muslim majority, and a lot of Hindu and Buddhist populations, is the Church of St Thomas.
The Thomas who refused to recognize Jesus resurrected. Doubting Thomas. That St Thomas, yeah. He founded the church in Mumbai. It’s first century CE or AD whichever floats you boat. There’s a lot of hoo-haw about Muslims burning churches and the people of those churches. Like the Church in Antioch which was pretty much destroyed by U.S. bombing raids. There’s a big lie making the scene, has been since the Crusades, that all Arabians and Turks and Persians (Iran, Afghanistan…) are forced to be Muslim. Which is Bullshit.
The Abyssinian Catholic Church in Iraq, you remember Iraq, right? “Our” country tore the place apart and are forcing the people of Iraq to pay for the damages. For Real. Ten percent of the pre-ameriklan conquest population were Christian, AND there are synagogues in most of the countries especially the Big 7 that are banned from immigration, the ones where Donald Trump and his asshole Wall Street Comrades don’t own the entire country, And Churches. The Church of St Thomas has been in operation for 2000 years and likewise in Syria (Antioch) and this puts the lie to the lips of those who claim a huge persecution against Christians and Jews.
How many churches in America have been torched by Muslim Jihadi? Well, there’s the two which were torched in Texas just in the past three weeks, oh, wait, Those Were Two Mosques Torched By People Who Call Themselves CHRISTIAN.
The KKK and other right wing extremists have been burning Black churches since the end of the civil war. They’ve attacked Catholic Churches HERE. So who are the REAL American Jihadim? Our punk-ass representative Doug Lamborn is a member of the Heritage Foundation, a Klan front group. Quite a few “christian” Terrorist Bitches, including the New Fuhrer Trump. Right Wing Talk Radio and FOX News spend a whole lot of time praising these Murderous Coward Punks as “heroes of the faith”
Not done calling out names. Bill O’Reilly, Douche Limbaugh, Ollie North, The Bush Family of seriously inbred congenital liars and thieves, round up the usual suspects. I would puke just thinking of it but it would be a waste of a good breakfast. Bottom Line, we has met the enemy and they is U.S.
The United States is the foremost purveyor of Terrorism and Totalitarian philosophy and actions in the entire world. The cowardly punk assholes who believe they have a right to own the entire country think they have a right to own the entire world and they blasphemously say it in the name of Christ. As an American and as a Christian I’m deeply offended.
Just how much do you “christian” coward ass pukes, disciples of Trump, how much do you think Jesus must be offended? I pity you.
The stench of your evil reaches to heaven.
