Britain’s Gay Police Association has been reprimanded for an advertisement implying that Christians are responsible for a huge increase in anti-homosexual violence: Gay police group’s ‘anti-Christian’ ad rapped. (Hat tip: authorizeduser.)

LONDON (Reuters) - The Gay Police Association (GPA) has been reprimanded for an ad which implied Christians were responsible for a huge rise in violent attacks on homosexuals.

The advert, placed in The Independent newspaper under the banner “in the name of the father” showed a Bible and a pool of blood.

It was a one-off, used to back up the GPA’s claim that the association had recorded a 74 percent increase in homophobic incidents, where the sole or primary motivating factor was the religious belief of the perpetrator.

The truth behind this rise in attacks is buried in the fourth paragraph of this al-Reuters report:

The association said the accompanying text made clear Christians were not the only group accused, in fact a quarter of the alleged incidents were provoked by Muslims, it said.

Notice: Muslims make up 2% of Britain’s population, but are responsible for 25% of the anti-gay hate crimes. And a British gay advocacy group is trying to conceal this, by focusing attention on Christians.
