Paul Salahuddin Armstrong, Managing Director of the Association of British Muslims (AoBM) expressed his “deep concern”. He said: “The Association of British Muslims is concerned about the lack of open and inclusive discussions regarding the traditional understanding of marriage within faith communities. We are also concerned about the teaching of sexual identity politics in schools, including Church of England schools.”

How will the woke reconcile “inclusion” with the Association of British Muslims who reject their agenda? Anglican.Ink also stated:

“There is now the worrying potential of Muslim parents starting to withdraw children from CofE schools to protect them from sexual ethics contrary to their beliefs,” said the Revd Paul Eddy, Convenor of Anglican Orthodox, “and that can obviously lead to segregation of children of different faiths in some Muslim-majority cities if the CofE proceeds.”

Those Christians who do not support “sexual ethics contrary to their beliefs” are already marginalized, or even hated and smeared as “homophobic” or “transphobic,” including in many Christian schools which now fly the rainbow flag and host Pride parades. In 2019, the Church of England “issued advice to clergy and congregations recommending an adapted affirmation of baptism service to allow transgender Christians to celebrate their new identity and name.” But those who do not celebrate along with them are increasingly persecuted. The CofE has also instructed schools to “let children ‘explore gender identity.'”

Let’s see whether the woke CofE will attempt to convince the deeply concerned Muslims of the Association of British Muslims that they are “homophobic” and “transphobic.” Of course, they wouldn’t dream of doing such a thing. The mainstream media will also likely ignore the brewing conflict and continue to try to give the impression that only stuffy, stupid, bigoted, old, white Christians disagree with the woke agenda.
