Scotland: Provost of cathedral where Qur’an was read denounces “appeasement” of “those who are Islamophobic”


From Jihad Watch:
The head of the Scottish Episcopal Church says the Church is “deeply distressed” at the offence caused by the reading of a passage from the Koran in a Glasgow cathedral. 
The comments of the Church Primus, the Most Rev David Chillingworth, follow criticism that Islamic verses were read during an Epiphany service. 
In his blog, he also condemned the abuse received by St Mary’s Cathedral. 
The cathedral’s provost, the Very Rev Kelvin Holdsworth, said the reading was aimed at promoting understanding between the two faiths. In his sermon on Sunday, he told the congregation there had been a “storm of abuse” from “10,000 Christian voices” over the incident. 
He said he “cannot believe that moderate churches in the West should follow a policy of appeasement towards those who are Islamophobic and particularly not towards the recently invigorated far-right media.”.

Scotland is not independent - yet. How can any devout Scott expect their lower clergy to defend the Church's creed when the heir to the throne declared - should Charles ascend - he would be defender of the faiths?...when the retired arch-bishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams continues to refuse to defend the faith and invites shariah law into the kingdom?

In a sane world, where logic trumps emotion, this cleric would be defrocked by his parish and parishoners for blasphemy.

Perhaps one of his parishoners will gift him a personalized, guillotine - engraved with his name and quoting his blasphemous treason - complete with a pre-printed copy of the sermon praying for his self-inflicted damned soul at his memorial.
