Why there’s Nothing British about the BNP’s “Christian values”

05_08_5---Cross-on-a-Hill_web (2)Nick Griffin and the British National Party are keen to portray themselves as on the sides of traditional British culture.  They see a gap in the market that they can fill. While other parties surrender to multiculturalism, Islam, and politically correct secularism, the BNP stand up for traditional British Christianity. This is nonsense. There is nothing Christian about the BNP.

On the BBC’s ‘Question Time’ programme, British National Party leader Nick Griffin stated: ‘If Muslims do stay in this country they must remember that Britain is essentially a fundamentally British and Christian country’. The BNP is a ‘Christian’ party that can save ‘Christian culture’

The BNP have created a front organisation called the ‘Christian Council of Britain’, headed by BNP activist and electoral candidate Robert West who leads religious services at various BNP events, including the party’s ‘Red, White & Blue’ and reportedly preaches on topics such as ‘the importance of nationalism’ and how “homosexuals do greatly err”. For West, a multi-racial society is a form of ‘Holocaust’, with immigration used to create “Lebensraum” for the Third  World. Despite initially denying any connection with the BNP, West has admitted that the BNP “encouraged and facilitated” its establishment.

Why the BNP are not Christian

-          There’s nothing Christian about the BNP’s ethics. For Jesus Christ, humanity was all part of one family. Christianity from the outset taught a universal message which dissolved the idea of race or nation, teaching that it is of no significance to God. He said that we should love our neighbour, preach the good news and understanding to all nations. He taught the parable of the Good Samaritan, to show our true neighbours were not just those from the same race. Most of all, he abhorred violence and the hatred that is fascism’s speciality.

-          The BNP use Christianity as an excuse to attack Muslims. Rather than refer to the actual teachings of Christ, the BNP’s favoured role model are the Crusaders. In a letter, Nick Griffin wrote “We will never allow our children to become a minority in our homeland! We will fight to the bitter end, just like our Crusader ancestors, to preserve our Christian culture and heritage. The spirit of the Medieval Knights lives on in all of us!”

-          The BNP’s use Christianity as an excuse for their homophobia. British fascism has a history of extreme homophobia. While the party’s policy is no longer officially to ban homosexual activity, they are always keen to claim that homosexuals are an affront to Britain’s ‘Christian heritage’. 

-          The BNP’s real ideology is pagan. Christianity, of course, is a “foreign import”, and for the extreme activists within the BNP inner circle, like all other imports it must be purged.Odin

The BNP’s Foreign Affairs spokesman Arthur Kemp wrote in his March of Titans that “the introduction of Christianity has to count as the single greatest ideological catastrophe to ever strike Europe.”

Ever since Himmler’s obsession with the occult, there has been a strain of Paganism with fascism, as zealots attempt to reclaim a purely European religion.

Lee Barnes, the BNP’s legal director, is a particular fan: ‘Christianity is a semitic religion, it is creature [sic] of the deserts of the Middle East not the forests of the Northern Europe [sic] and its symbol the cross is an instrument of torture not of living redemption’. In place of Christianity, Barnes advocates Odinism, the worship of the Norse pagan gods of pre-Christian Europe, and he connects the Odinic ‘tree of life’ (Yggdrasil) with a religion based on race: ‘The roots represent our descent from the Gods and our connection to the Earth, the trunk represents our shared European racial heritage, the main branches of the tree our nations and tribes, the twigs on each branch represent each family unit and each single leaf symbolises an individual life’.

    The problem is that the focus of this site is on small detail, “He said, she said” while probably deliberately missing the whole point of people voting BNP.

    Age brings wisdom if your memory holds up & I look back at betrayal after betrayal, which is why I have no faith in mainstream politics.
    Politicians need to be honest otherwise there is no point to them, we would be better off run by a cold hearted machine that has no need for sex or money.
    Too often, it all comes down to the lowest common denominator.

    NB have now taken on the role of the Spanish Inquisition, hunting down heretics like the BNP who dare to challenge the establishment globalist position

    From reading their website and comments from members, it seems to me that BNP ethics are derived from love of country and its people, not hatred of others. I can’t see where the BNP promotes hatred, just a strong desire to defend our Christian heritage.

    Don’t know who Lee Barnes is but he’s entitled to his views, however weird; they certainly don’t represent mainstream BNP members’ views which are pro Christian and also supportive of Israel and its right to exist and defend its borders, just as we seek the same for our country

  8. I rather think the ancients who nurtured and followed the Odinic religions would be horrified at the BNP’s fascist misuse of it; Ygrddrasil itself is a sort of weapon of torture, as Odin is said to have created the runes when tied to and suffering upon it. Surely not a sign of semitic Christianity’s influence upon the holy men of northern Europe…?

    “There’s nothing Christian about the BNP’s ethics”.

    The statement could apply to ALL political parties . Didn’t Jesus say “Be no part of this world”? Politics is secular , Jesus was not.

    “Most of all, he abhorred violence”
    Try telling THAT to the money-changers at the temple :-)

    Ok , hands on the buzzer , who said in Matthew’s gospel :
    “I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword” ??

    Clearly , He meant to stir up IDEOLOGICAL , not physical , conflict.Debate , if you will , just like on this site.
    But , consider history : what is the usual consequence of ideological between nations ?
    Yep – violence.
    ————————————————————————–
    Violence is un-Christian ? Then does that mean David Cameron , a supporter of the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions AND who will consider an attack on Iran ,
    is un-Christian ?
    Or would that be a special , Jesus-approved type of violence ?
    NB , you CANNOT have it BOTH ways.
    Where do you stand on this ?

    I support the Jews as they take no crap from the angry muslims who are hell bent on western expansion. However I draw the line at Zionists who have and always have had there own hidden agenda. Bit like this site. As for the Organised Christian Church they can go hang as they also are puppets of the state and no friends of the common man. They are in it for the wealth and power just like the Bory Party

      @ARMYBNP,

      The BNP has lost votes in 16 of the 17 council by-elections it has contested since last June. They have been contesting fewer elections than in recent years. They didn’t even put up a candidate in East Broxtowe yesterday where they got 17% in the last election.

      You say the BNP are coming our way soon. Thanks for the warning; I’ll make sure I get out of the way of your retreating Panzer divisions!

      In said article, James looks down upon and patronises the white working classes (whom he supposes to be the main supporters of the BNP), in a most lordly way. Hypocrisy and cant.

      Make no mistake, dear James, I am not working class nor am I “left behind”. I’m not even poor.

      I am, however, angry.Very,very angry.

    You may well be right about the slump in the BNP vote.

    But you REALLY must stop this line -for your own sake !
    Else somebody may embarrass you by pointing out that the BNP got around FIVE TIMES the Tory vote in the recent Jarrow election.

    @Nicholas,

    Sorry, I am not a Tory voter or supporter, and never have been.

    Even the truest of blue Tories would admit that they wouldn’t expect many votes in a working class ward on Tyneside.

    If you watch this video I think you will discover the clue to the BNP’s flagging fortunes. Talent doesn’t run deep in the BNP. I felt sorry for the candidate listening to him speak. He looked like he’d been tricked into standing.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taGmFJoH2_c

    The BNP brought in activists from as far away as Manchester to canvass the ward. In other words they have few local activists. Clive Jefferson even says that Labour hadn’t responded to the BNP campaign!

    Dear God. They are worse than I thought.
