In a staunch defence of Britain's 'Christian standpoint,' he denounced the radicalisation of young Britons by Islamic fanatics and said they should show more respect to 'the values we hold dear'.”
But, according to some sites, it is told that the British has never had a problem with a Christian-Muslim relationship. The only problematic relationship was a Christian-Catholic one. “British royalty have always been allowed to marry Muslims, Jews or Hindus, but marrying Catholics has been banned since 1701. That was back when Catholics were seen as a threat to the English crown.”
According to Channel4.com, marrying Muslims has never been a problem. The only problem back then was marrying Catholics. It was said that Roman Catholics had the same status as al-Qaeda, a terrorist group ran by Osama bin Laden. Marrying someone from a different religion was never given idea, so there was no need for a law.
“…a royal heir can marry a spouse from any religion in the world, or no religion, and not lose succession rights. These rights are lost to the heir and all descendants if he or she marries a Catholic. This is iniquitous and unjustly discriminatory. It needs to be

    But the crash was just a very tragic accident, and Mohammed’s son was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The reasons why the conspiracy theories about Princess Diana’s death are not true is because there isn’t enough evidence, the theories don’t make sense, and the person making the claims wasn’t in the right state of mind to make the accusations. Accident or not, England lost a great princess, mother, and role model that will forever be…

    “I have no desire to make windows into men’s souls” – the famous words Elizabeth I told her subjects when she came to the throne in 1558. She was referring to the religious reforms and that she had no desire to interpret either Protestantism or Catholicism so closely to cause tensions or rebellions, like so many that had occurred during the reigns of her predecessors. Despite this, some would disagree and say it was the tough social, political or economic climate at the time that led to these inevitable revolts by the common people and subjects. This essay will look at how far religious discontent was the reason for the Tudor rebellions.…

    2. In the early 1600s, William Bradford, a Puritan pilgrim from England, wrote a journal [Sovereignty and the], recording all his experiences regarding his pilgrimage. When this text was written, the Church of England had started to persecute all those who did not follow their religion, which included the Puritans, who had to move to Leiden, Holland. After a few years, a war broke out in that area, so the Pilgrims were forced to move somewhere else, in which they chose the present-day East Coast of North America. In the quote shown, William Bradford gratefully comments on how the pilgrims survived obstacles through their journey to the New World, in order to provide his religious insight on how God helped them out in times of need.…

Accordingly, jealous contemporaries were suspicious of Maintenon’s motivations and often viewed her as an all-powerful figure with a dangerous amount influence over Louis XIV.…

    Although there are clear differences between the ideals of Catholic and Protestant faith, I believe that by the end of the reign of Elizabeth I, English Christianity was a fusion of old Catholic tradition still battling the ideas of Protestant reformation. I will demonstrate this in this essay by establishing catholic traditions, analysing what changes the protestants wished to make and finally evaluating their effect. There are three traditions that stand out within the practises of the Catholic Church, iconography, rituals and community life. We can explore these through 'Long Melford Church Before the Reformation ' in which Roger Martyn recounts his boyhood memories of the traditions of the Catholic Church. The use of images in the Catholic…

    Almond then goes on to list the books flaws. Almond calls the books most glaring weakness is its one sided flow of information. Almond claims that the book is rhetorical, not arguementative; and paints Muslims in a mostly negative light and notes that the only “good” Muslims that show up in the book are victims of “bad” muslims. The book’s lack of counter arguments and opposing narratives is also discussed. Almond claims that the book ingnores history that is inconvinent for its narrative and challenges Murray’s notion of a Christian Europe when historically Europe has been home to…

    Politics and the Wars of Religion By: Phillip Ableidinger, Jin Johnson, and Matthew Kellen “Discuss the relationship between politics and religion by examining the wars of religion. Choose three specific examples from the following: the Dutch Revolt, the French wars of religion, the English Civil war, and the Thirty Years’ war.” Politics and religion have for long been two sides of the same coin. Although it’s easy to dismiss their relationship as desultory or ineffectual, it has jointly wielded considerable power on the geopolitical stage; perhaps even single handedly changing the course of modern European history. The partnership between church and state cannot be understated, having been the main cause of power-struggles, societal collapse and power shifts throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.…

    The era between the death of Henry VIII and the excommunication of Elizabeth by the papacy was one consumed by the debate of what the Church of England should looks like. Edward VI was a Protestant,and he made strides to define the Church of England as a Protestant church, instead of leaving the church as mostly Catholic in practice like his father had. Mary I, on the other hand, tried to revert England back to Catholicism. And finally, Elizabeth I started her reign by being diplomatic, careful not to lean on Protestantism or Catholicism too much, but as she spent more time as the monarch she became more and more Protestant and her policies illuminated that shift. Each monarch contributed to the religious debate that had taken over England,…
