Great interview with Tommy Robinson, leader of the English Defence League. Its a bit long at 14 minutes but please watch it if you have the time and you want to understand the truth about the EDL rather than accept the lies so frequently propagated by the left wing mainstream media.
It makes a big difference when the interviewer gives the guest a fair go, and it seldom happens where Tommy is concerned. Readers may remember the disgustingly biased interview with BBC communist Jeremy Paxton. This interview is entirely different and Tommy gets to articulate some good arguments against the cowardly smears that come from the Guardian and the BBC.
One excellent quote from the interview-
“The definition of a racist is someone who is winning an argument against a liberal”

Great interview. Finally the man gets asked relevant questions by someone who knows what’s really going on. Complete opposite of BBC “…that sounds like a threat” parting shot.
As Tommy seems to be becoming more savvy, it gets better and better.

I think that’s the first interview I’ve ever seen with Tommy Robinson where he actually got to finish a sentence.
And something Coren said that I’ve not heard from the msm before either; that the people who join the EDL are the same was those who volunteered to defend Britain in 1940, against a very similar threat.

I’m not a Roman Catholic, but I really like Michael Coren. And I like this interview; I’d never heard of the interviewee, so I’m glad Michael is the kind of interviewer who actually lets his guest speak.
Thanks for posting the video.

Of course Coren wouldn’t be alone in the above claim, Lucia.
And He, as a “practicing Catholic” with presmuably Jewish heritage, obviously forgets that Catholics were historically forbidden to marry Jews by Rome. Must make marriage decisions for him [and his kids, etc] rather difficult and limiting.
And another Catholic apologist, rather than making me “gag on [my] breakfast”, just makes me sad that another deluded fool puts his faith in a corrupt and evil institution rather than Christ who died for their sins.

Kris,
Catholics are currently forbidden from marrying non-Catholics – however, all that is needed is explicit permission and the promise that any children will be raised Catholic, and there is generally no problem with marrying outside of the Faith.
I married outside of the Faith, but when I was not practising, and my return five years ago, a whole lot of sorting out needed to be had. But the Church is very big, and makes provisions (within reason) for a great number of situations.
As for your last paragraph, I forgive you your ignorance.

I once wrote that the Christian churches could be the best allies in the fight against islamism. Nowadays I’m not so sure:
‘German Catholicism Welcomes the Barracks and the Bayonets
As Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan famously said, “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers.” The German Catholic hierarchy has decided to help the Turkish invaders build their barracks, affix their bayonets, and bring their faithful soldiers into Germany…’

We have a central authority who is protected by God from error when teaching on faith and morals. Islamists do not, so they can just make anything up and say that God wills it.

It’s not my argument, but it seems to me that this statement is flat wrong:
“We have a central authority who is protected by God from error when teaching on faith and morals. Islamists do not, so they can just make anything up and say that God wills it.”
The koran is regarded by muslims as the immutable word of Allah and they certainly cannot “just make anything up and say God wills it”. Individual imams interpret the koran in various ways (just as individual Catholic priests and bishops interpret the bible differently) so the protection from error appears to be somewhat hit-and-miss.

That means there can be no change and has been no change in any Catholic religious position decreed by a Pope from day 1.

KG,
The promise of protection from error is to the Pope alone. Everyone else has to work to constantly align themselves to the Magisterium, which for some can be very difficult. Those people either stay and become dissidents, or they leave and become Protestants where everyone can be their own Pope. Islam is much like Protestanism, where by everyone can interpret the Koran how they like, but then unlike Protestanism where a radical minority will enforce conformity through violence.
Sika, the promise is for faith and morals, ie what we are to believe, which is like a diamond that gets more and more polished over time as it is more understood, and morals, ie how we are to act. Any other decree will change with the circumstances and the times.

And I second that, Keith.
More RC dogma from Lucia.
The ONLY “central authority” genuine Christianity has is the word of God; the Bible. Some ‘infallible’ man just won’t cut the mustard. Like Sika said above, “infallible guru’s have feet of clay” – as do all men. Putting your faith in any sinful man [ALL popes are/were sinners] will only lead to destruction.
Because Roman Catholics, like Lucia, put their faith in their “central authority who [they wrongly presume] is protected by God”, by which they mean their pope, they actually elevate this man to above God’s word, and [they] must accept his views on all matters of “faith and morals”, and therefore ONLY his interpretation of scripture is the ‘correct’ interpretation according to RC belief.
This is the main failing (and there are many) of the RC church; faith is in a [most definitely] fallible man and NOT God’s word or His gospel contained within. Feet of clay indeed!

Kris,
And yet ask 10 different Protestants on what the interpretation of any number of verses in the Bible and you get at least 9 different answers, and that’s being generous. So clearly, just reading the Bible and relying on the Holy Spirit to guide you is not enough. I would say the missing piece is conformity to the established faith so that you don’t come up with your own interpretation, whereby you ignore what the Holy Spirit is telling you and go with what you want the Bible to say.

LM, I normally ignore your ridiculous uneducated propaganda, but you’ve overstepped the mark. To suggest Protestantism (for that I assume you mean anyone who professes Christiantity who is not a catholic) is in any way, shape or form like the 7th century death cult is utterly and completely disgraceful, and unforgivable.
By way of a juxtaposition:
Your “church” is the only organisation in history which comes close to committing the murder-couched-as-religious war which islam espouses. Your false-prophets in Rome have instructed their armies to commit these atrocities, much like Osama Bin Laden did from his cave ni Afghanistan.
I understand your desire to defend your Church, but at least try and stay within the bounds of reality.
