Fifth Column
Church of England tries to back away from "inclusiveness"
2001-11-01
  • Dissent has traditionally been regarded as good for society, and indeed a loyal duty. It would be wrong not to dissent from policies bad for society and just plain evil... Colluding with what we know to be wrong leads to disaster, and is disloyal to a nation. But resorting to unconstitutional violence in order to seize power and bring down a government, or to aid a national enemy to do so, is treasonable.

    The notion of treason seems to require a culture or national identity which can be offended and brought down by its opponents, and one reason why treason seems so strange today is that the orientation known as ‘political correctness’ has worked persistently against a national cultural identity and in favour of its most savage critics. Englishness has been wished away as having any positive content, being officially redefined as openness to all other cultures -- including those hostile to it. When all cultural options are equally valuable, nothing can be properly treasonable – by definition. (Editorial The Church of England Newspaper)
    All things aren't equal. In the west, a person has a duty to his homeland and his compatriots. Among Muslims, religion is the nation and national boundaries superfluous. Muslims see no treason in supporting their co-religionists against their compatriots; their compatriots should see no evil in hanging them when they do.
