| Anglican Vicar Uses Police To Intimidate Blogger |
| 2010-01-24 |
| As some people have noticed, I've been rather quiet in blogging about the Reverend Stephen Sizer's activities of late. After all, what more can be said of a man forwards emails from Holocaust deniers, shares platforms with Holocaust deniers, and shamelessly flaunts his anti-Zionist theology before Iran's apocalyptic Holocaust-denying regime? As Iranian pastors are arrested and house churches closed down, why is the Khomeinist regime translating Sizer's book on Christian Zionism into Farsi? How many more times can I point all this out? Yet there's another reason why I've been quiet, and whilst I've held my tongue and my pen for a while, now is the time to speak. At 10am on Sunday 29th November 2009, I received a visit from two policemen regarding my activities in running the Seismic Shock blog. (Does exposing a vicar's associations with extremists make me a criminal?, I wondered initially). A sergeant from the Horsforth Police related to me that he had received complaints via Surrey Police from Rev Sizer and from Dr Anthony McRoy – a lecturer at the Wales Evangelical School of Theology – who both objected to being associated with terrorists and Holocaust deniers. (Context: Sizer has associated with some very nasty terrorists and Holocaust deniers; McRoy has delivered a paper at a Khomeinist theological conference in Iran comparing Hezbollah's struggle against Israel via suicide bombing with the Christian's struggle against sin via the atoning death of Jesus, and describes the world's most prominent Holocaust denier as an “intelligent, humble, charismatic, and charming' man who “gives quick, extensive and intelligent answers to any question, mixed with genial humour'). |
