Christian Voice Lends Support To The EDL

The Professor | 21.02.2011 17:28 | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Conservative Party member Stephen Green of Christian Voice (and Cameronesque opponent of multiculturalism) has openly come out online in support of the violent fascist EDL, posting offensive remarks via their official Facebook designed to inflame the EDL's racist reactionaries paranoia to boiling point, as Christian extremists join extremist Jewish renegades in voicing their approval of the far right group's ugly Mosleyite street demonstrations.



On the "Yorkshire EDL North Yorkshire Facebook Page", at 02 February at 10:46, Christian extremist Stephen Green posts the following remark, (see screenshot):

Christian Voice - "British muslims want to kill you and you are giving aid to muslims, please stop giving aid to muslims countries".

Having flirted with the BNP in previous years, the bigoted evangelical crusaders of Christian Voice are now, via Facebook, throwing their full weight behind the EDL's boot and fist pogroms as they march up and down the country (openly supporting the neo-Nazi BNP in Barnsley).

Forget "love thy neighbour" and the parable of the "Good Samitan", Christian Voice want to see Muslim children dying in African famines, Asian floods, and other disasters, in their call for British people to stop giving any foreign aid to Muslims. No doubt, Green would "pray for their souls" after the "Islamic heathens" perish.

Unlike all mainstream Christian churches who vigoursly oppose the EDL and the BNP, and in Birmingham, London and Preston have joined up with Muslims to hold peace vigils, do not forget, not all Christians are interested in peace, equality and justice. For every Desmond Tutu comes a reactionary bigot who believes just like Al Qaida that non-believers will rot in the eternal fires of hell.

A few years ago, many fringe Christian extremist nutters were vehemently anti-Semitic, but now, as Muslims are the new target for neo-Nazi hatred, while secretly maintaining their hate of Jewish people for Easter to blame an entire people for Jesus's execution by the Roman occupiers, they now openly scategoat another non-anglo-Saxan people orginating from the Middle East.

So sick Mr Green wants the drunken fascist thugs of the EDL to boost their persecution complex, and believe that every British Muslim wants to kill them. Even fellow extremists Muslims4UK didn't go that far, but obviously Christian Voice has so few supporters these days in our secular society, he hopes to seduce the vulnerable coked-up minds of the EDL's football hooligans into turning their racist street jaunts into a good old-fashioned religious crusade, the likes of which shadowy figures on the extreme rightwing side of Christianity, would have wet dreams imaging a cataclysmic Holy war happening in modern times.

Whether or not you believe in god or a higher entity, Jesus, if he did exist, must be cringing in agony as he watches his name being contorted for hate by objectionable organisations such as Christian Voice.

Thanks to the Facebook and Twitter revolution, establishment conservative figures (albeit irrevelent ones) such as Green are liable to slip up and post uncensored bile after a few shandies while buzzing in a pseudo-religious fervour, sometimes forgetting to delete the evidence until screenshots have been taken (see above!).

Would-be Jewish EDL supporters unsure of the motives of the EDL having witnessed Israeli flags at their rallies should treat them with extreme caution, realising there are anterior motives aplenty in the courting of the US Pro-Israeli campaign lobby, especially as some hardline American Christian evangelical sects only supporting Israel for one stated reason (surf the net for more info, it's no rocket science).

Some such evangelical extremists have openly gone on record proclaiming that they support Israel hoping American Jews will repatriate there, in time for a deadly cataclysm linked to Jesus's Biblical second-coming. In other words, pro-Israeli American Christians, like neo-Nazis or the KKK, want to see dead Jews, only later down the line after "God carries out his venegance upon Jesus's killers", and sadly, so deseprate are some rightwing groups such as the Jewish Defence League for recognition, some have swallowed the Christian evangelical bait hook, line and sinker.

It is a cruel irony that the EDL claim to oppose religious extremism, but as drawstrings grow tight, and Alan Lake draws tired of the EDL's pointless drunken antics, the question must be asked - are wealthy redneck neo-Conservative evangelicals waiting in the wings as the next shady source of international funding for this ragbag gang of racist hooligans???

No surprise there!

The Tea Party is somewhere in the mix, and is supported by Christian evangelicals including some Republican Party senators.

Just what purpose Americans see from the EDL makes the mind boggle, but there must be a reason.

Why was Yaxley Lennon invited to Canada by the JDL?

i do hope the EDL....

21.02.2011 20:59

......Insist that all their members go back to school and learn Basic English. It seems quite important to them, being English and such. So you would think writing and speaking it correctly would also be.

If the first poster is anything to go by maybe they “shuld” think about that a bit more, instead of trying to deny that they are racist. Small Muslim kids on my street know how to spell better than that, and I would rather live beside someone with a brain cell and not an idiot. Idiots are idiots and should be avoided at all times.
So, come on lass...Embrace your hate filled ignorance. Denial is not only a river in Egypt but also state of mind.

And I do hope they tell the members what a full stop is for. Look! See....I just used one...Handy things a full stop.....

Next week - hate crimes and the comma - a users guide.

@ the grammar police

21.02.2011 22:10

Is that your chief concern? That the spelling and grammar is on the flawed side?
Presumably, if their spelling was perfect then you wouldn't have any further complaints?

Personally, I like colourful phrasing. There is something nice about people not having to conform to strict rules and retaining their individuality (outside a professional arena of course).

If we all tried to conform, then we would all look the same, dress the same and speak the same.
Having different languages and different slang and viewpoints is part of a multicultural society and should not be frowned upon.

Hopefully some of that will get through to you thick viewpoint where grammar and spelling seems to be the most important thing on earth.

Stephen Green is a messianic nutcase who was recently in the news for beating his former wife:

In public he rails against immorality as the voice of Christian Britain but in private he is a wife beater, says his former partner

Stephen, if you read this, you seriously need to seek professional help.

I take it that leaflet Green's holding is opposed to homosexuality? Yet another nail in the EDL's claims to be pro gay. They attract homophobic religious extremists as supporters but its ok because they're white English Christian religious extremists. The EDL are full of hypocrisy and will accept support from anyone stupid enough to beleive that they are only opposed to Islamic Extremism to bolster their meagre support.

The same EDL waving guns around and masquearding as UVF?

EDL's Lesbian and Gay Division's Anger At Stephen Green

24.02.2011 12:05

The EDL's miniscule LGBT division, the same people who got homophobically assaulted in a Wetherspoons pub by rank and rile EDL hoolie thugs, are regularly complaining about Stephen Green supplying videos to the EDL website.

Since Green has leant his support to the EDL, which he sees as being "softer than the EDL" even though their hardcore neo-Nazi links are well documented (WDL, EDL Extra mods, Pinkham, Wigan Mike etc), the handful of extreme rightwing gay followers of the EDL have regularly complained to Yaxley-Lennon about getting rid of Green's "EDL Friendship" videos, but Yaxley, typically of his EDL pedigree, just like his fash idol Nick "The Cyclops" Griffin, sneeringly sidetracks and ignores these guys as if they are not there (even if they number only five in total).

 http://en-gb.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=132236756794102&topic=87

And yet, whenever little Yaxley appears on Newsnight, talking politics, he loves to refer to the EDL's LGBT group along with other "uncle toms", wheeling out the poster boys merely as some sort of sick PR exercise.

IN TRUTH THE EDL ARE 99.999% HOMOPHOBIC.

More About EDL Supporter Stephen Green!

#EDL religious crank Julie Simpson drops into Expose to defend EDL supporter Stephen Green of @christianvoice  http://twitpic.com/3ukco6

 http://twitter.com/Exposingtweets/status/31406229125341185

Green has really got into bed with the EDL as he believes that they are mostly homophobic and as far right extremists, will be the natural haven for white british religious fundamentalists.

I would like to see the cowardly lying "Tommy Robinson" defending their use of Stephen Green videos on the EDL website.

Word has it, Green is a friend of crank and former BNP webmaster (now the EDL webmaster) Simon Bennett who has used his closeness with Bennett to worm his way into the EDL hierarchy.

Like fascism, rightwing Christianity is failing in the UK, which is why Green sees mileage in turning the EDL into a vehicle for a revival of British extreme Christian militancy like the sort you get in the US. The hope of a racial and religious war is the stuff of wet dreams of nutter Stephen Green. He juices up his pants fantasising about leading an armed crusade against Islam thoughout Europe and the Middle East.

Green is a nutter, and why haven't the Conservative Party got rid of him, as they claim now to be a modern post-Thatcherite political party?

Read his Facebook and blog postings if you don't believe me.

Expect the EDL to campaign against abortion in the near future, as well as Islam, as they seek American rightwing Christian funders to supplement the money they get in from Lake and his European far right mates.

Richard Green at Luton

24.02.2011 16:18


On the day of the EDL demo, "for the grace of God", Stephen Green just happened to be visiting Luton, by freak chance (if you'd believe the fascist trolls). The following article details how a journalist accidentally bumped into Green, after Green did the rounds, dumping leaflets detailing his fundamentalist (Christian) shite onto tables, take-aways, shop counters and pub bars.

If you were Green, the leader of a churchless cult (how he must pitty the Moonies!), and were desperate for people under the age of 65 to join him in his "crusade against heathens", the drunken bigoted oiks of the EDL must have seemed like rich pickings as those at their losest tether are always the easiest prey for religious fundamentalists.

For all their eternal and unreconciliable failings, the EDL do a mighty-fine job at PR, always ensuring the BBC, ITN and Sky News never say a bad word against them, despite mosque arson, attacks on women wearing veils, endless chanting of racial abuse, violent assaults on police, and much, much more acts of hatred, violence, desecration and wanton criminality.

If you subscibe to "planet ZOG" eg. Stormfront, the EDL's "easy-rep" would be due to members of "ZOG" in the media, however in truth, the reality is nothing so absurd. Neo-cons comprise of Christians and non-believers as well as Jewish people, and it's not merely the likes of pornographer Richard Desmond who are championing the EDL in the UK.

As part of the UK Conservative Party, Stephen Green is part of the same xenophobic Islamophobic clique who David Cameron played up to with his recent racist speech in Europe.

Hardline Tory Cranks like Green used to dominate the cobwebbed seats of the Monday Club back in the bad old days when they endlessly whiled the afternoons away supping sherries, coughing, spluttering, whinging and whining about Jews, "queers" and "darkies".

Today it's muslims, and what better advocates of the failed "War On Terror" than the lunatic pseudo-Christian fringe, who has become an informal linkage between the EDL and the rightwing British establishment, while the EDL continue to shore up the deadly conflict in Afganistan as young British soldiers continue to arrive home in bodybags and coffins.

Marital Rape and the EDL Supporter

24.02.2011 16:29

"He juices up his pants fantasising about leading an armed crusade against Islam thoughout Europe and the Middle East".

Probably did the same to his underpants when he beat up his wife.

It is guilt by association for the EDL. The more undesirable scumbags like Green they are happy to team up with for his anti-Islamic bigotry, the more sullied and tarnished the EDL become.

I might be wrong, but didn't Green defend rape in marriage not too long ago?

If so, how exactly did Green "beat up his wife"?

Stephen Green in Luton (typo, not "Richard Green")

Different establishment prick to Richard Desmond, but same pro-fash ethos.

I cannot understand how Christians who hate gay people and lesbians so much can suddently become the EDL's best buddies.

It doesn't make sense.

Possibly they ought to consider a gay marriage together, as quite often vocal homophobes are unsure of their sexuality.

Stephen Green "Death penalty for Gays and Lesbians"

24.02.2011 16:59

Christian Voice leader Stephen Green ‘a wifebeater’
by PinkNews.co.uk Staff Writer
31 January 2011, 10:08am
Stephen Green is a wife-beater, his former wife says
The wife of Christian Voice leader Stephen Green says he beat her until she bled and does not believe in marital rape.

Caroline Green, who was married to the anti-gay Christian extremist for 26 years, says she has come forward now because “the people who support him financially and morally should know what he is really like”.

Mr Green, 60, who was recently interviewed by the BBC over his views on Elton John becoming a father, has approved of the death penalty for gays and lesbians.

He was asked by the BBC for his views on the singer’s parenting skills but Mrs Green claims that he had attacked his own children with belts and broomsticks and punished them harshly for minor transgressions.

Mr Green leads Christian Voice, which is a small protest group of around 300 members. The group rails against violence, abortion, immorality and drugs, although it reserves a special venom for homosexuality.

But Mrs Green, 59, said that those who donate money to Christian Voice should know the “truth” about about her ex-husband.

She told the Mail on Sunday that he had beaten her and her children, “brainwashed” them and forced them to live in a dilapidated caravan in remote Wales to protect them from the “evil” of urban life.

Mrs Green described the incident which prompted her to leave him, recalling how he made a list of her failings as a wife and then beat her until she bled with a piece of wood.

She said: “He even framed our marriage vows — he always put particular emphasis on my promise to obey him — and hung them over our bed. He believed there was no such thing as marital rape and for years I’d been reluctant to have sex with him, but he said it was my duty and was angry if I refused him.

“But the beating was the last straw. It ­convinced me I had to divorce him.”

She also said that he had beaten their eldest and middle sons with belts and broomsticks.

She added: “It was almost like living in a cult. We were all subjugated to his will and cowed by him. Over the years he belittled us and made us feel worthless.

“Whenever I watch him on TV spouting verses from the Bible, or see him quoted in a news­paper, it turns my stomach. I’ve decided to tell the truth about him now because the people who support him financially and morally should know what he is really like.”

EDL Are Hypocritical Scumbags


Stephen Green = Wife beater

24.02.2011 18:49

Well there's no suprises that the EDL are uniting with Green's Christian Voice bigots.

Lets face it there are a lot of similarities between the leaders.
Both called Stephen
Both enjoy domestic violence (Yaxley Lennon was done for attacking his mrs., possesion of cocaine and attacking a copper all in one go).
Both homophobes (Lets face it a one time member of the BNP is really going to be pro- LGBT rights is he -after all the things the BNP have said about the LGBT community)

Makes me wonder why the EDL's LGBT Division still has any support = assaulted by other EDL members in a pub and now having to watch Stephen Yaxley Lennon cosying up to homophobic religious extremists albeit of the white English Christian variety after being revealed as a member of the BNP - whose leader Nick Griffin called Homosexuals "vile."
