💭 Five Muslim football players in France’s top division, the Ligue 1, reportedly refused to play in Sunday’s fixture between Toulouse FC and Nantes in protest over a campaign against homophobia, citing religious views.
According to the Daily Mail, all Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 matches over the weekend had been dedicated to the league’s initiative against homophobia, with the numbers on the back of players’ shirts in rainbow colors.
However, a report by La Depeche du Midi stated that many members of Toulouse’s club did not support the campaign and expressed their refusal to play. The players were named as Zakaria Aboukhlal, Moussa Diarra, Fares Chaibi, Said Hamulic for Tolouse and Nantes’ Mostafa Mohamed. Logan Costa of Tolouse also did not want to play, although both he and Chaibi were named on the team sheet, according to AFP.
Mohamed, who also plays for the Egyptian national team, tweeted: “I don’t want to argue at all but I have to state my position.”
“I respect all differences. I respect all beliefs and convictions. This respect extends to others but also includes respect for my personal beliefs,” he added.
“Given my roots, my culture, the importance of my convictions and beliefs, it was not possible for me to participate in this campaign. I hope that my decision will be respected, as well as my wish not to argue about this and that everyone is treated with respect.”
French website l’Equipe reported that Mohamed refused to wear the jersey and stayed in the hotel during the game which ended in a 0-0 draw.
On his Instagram account, Moroccan player Aboukhlal explained that he “made the decision not to take part in today’s game.”
“First and foremost, I want to emphasise that I hold the highest regard for every individual regardless of their personal preferences, gender, religion or background. This is a principle that cannot be emphasised enough,” Aboukhlal said.
“Respect is a value that I hold in great esteem. It extends to others, but it also encompasses respect for my own personal beliefs. Hence, I don’t believe I am the most suitable person to participate in this campaign.”
In a statement on Sunday, Toulouse said: “Some players of the professional squad have expressed their disagreement regarding the association of their image with the rainbow colors representing the LGBT movement.”
“Respecting the individual choices of its players, and after numerous exchanges, the Toulouse Football Club has chosen to exclude these players from the game,” the Ligue 1 club added.
💭 Members of parliament in Uganda have passed a bill that would make homosexual acts punishable by death.
Nearly all the 389 legislators voted on Tuesday for the anti-homosexuality bill that introduces capital and life imprisonment sentences for gay sex and ‘recruitment, promotion and funding’ of same-sex ‘activities’. The bill will now go to President Yoweri Museveni, who can veto it or sign it into law. But in a recent speech he appeared to express support for the bill. The bill marks the latest in a string of setbacks for LGBTQ+ rights in Africa, where homosexuality is illegal in most countries.

💭 Hundreds of Ugandan Sect Members Flee to Ethiopia, Fearing Doomsday
Leaders of sect convinced them that end of world is near and death is about to strike their area.
HUNDREDS of people belonging to a religious sect in eastern Uganda have fled from their villages to Ethiopia, Ugandan police said Sunday.
Police said that according to their investigations, the sect members fled to escape the end of the world, which they believe will start from their area.
According to the Anadolu Agency, they said the members of the sect were told by its leaders that their area would soon be hit with death and all the people there would die. They reportedly sold off their property and fled to Ethiopia, from where they are communicating with some of their relatives in Uganda.
‘We are investigating a religious sect called Christ Disciples Church with its base located in Obululum village in the eastern Uganda district of Serere. We started the investigations after getting information that people were being trafficked to Ethiopia since February and it is going on till today,’ area police spokesman Oscar Ogeca told Anadolu’s Godfrey Olukya.
He said the people, who number in the hundreds, were told by their leaders that death is coming soon to their area and the only place they would be safe is in Ethiopia. They were convinced that they should go and spread the gospel there.
✞ Christian Theology Lecturer Fired After Tweets On Homosexuality Describes ‘suffering And Persecution’
A lecturer dismissed from Methodist institution Cliff College after sharing his “evangelical” views on homosexuality says he was surprised by the school’s actions as he describes “a horrendous amount of suffering and persecution”.
Dr Aaron Edwards’ dismissal occurred amid the Methodist Church’s movement towards accepting same-sex marriage, which impacted the college’s doctrine on relationships.
Dr Edwards argued that maintaining an evangelical stance was crucial for the institution’s student base and heritage.
In response to the Anglican Church’s decision to bless same-sex relationships, Dr Edwards tweeted “robustly against homosexuality from an evangelical perspective”.
The tweet read: “Homosexuality is invading the Church. Evangelicals no longer see the severity of this b/c they’re busy apologising for their apparently barbaric homophobia, whether or not it’s true. This *is* a “Gospel issue”, by the way. If sin is no longer sin, we no longer need a Saviour.”
The college initially asked him to remove the tweet – he said he could not delete it in good conscience, as he believed in its message.
The tweet led to his suspension after receiving considerable backlash online, from Christians and non-believers alike. After being accused of bringing the college into disrepute, and threats to take the matter to counter-terrorism team Prevent, Dr Edwards was fired.
In an interview with Premier Christian News, he said he was surprised at his suspension and defended his tweet as a biblical approach to sin “encroaching” upon the church.
The dismissal has had a significant impact on Dr Edwards’ family, leaving them with no income. At the same time, they face eviction from their home within a matter of weeks.
He said: “We don’t know what’s going to happen, but we know God’s going to provide.
“We’re in a loving church. I’ve had so many people praying and prophesying over us over the last month, and that has been amazing.
“Though there’s been a horrendous amount of suffering and persecution, and also people attacking me thinking I’m trying to be a martyr, because I’m talking about it – and I just don’t think they understand what it’s like to go through these things.
“At the same time, my church has been right behind me, and people have been supporting us in all sorts of ways.
“We’ve got a Crowdfunder up now where we’ve asked people to if they want to contribute, I’ve got a vision for theological education in the future that I’d like to explore further, and so I think we’re going to be okay, because I just believe God’s got us in his hands.”
Dr Edwards is currently considering legal action and appealing his termination with support from Christian Concern.
💭 Clashes Erupt Outside Sydney Church Over ‘Anti-Trans’ Speech, exactly on the Feast Day of St. Michael the Archangel.
❖The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church honors St. Michael on the 12th of each month.
Clashes erupted between rival protest groups after LGBT+ activists blocked a church venue where One Nation NSW leader Mark Latham was to deliver an allegedly “anti-trans” speech.
Around 15 LGBT+ protestors, organised by the Community Action for Rainbow Rights, waited outside St. Michael’s Church Belfield in Sydney’s multicultural western region on the evening of March 21.
Soon hundreds of individuals confronted the group, which also allegedly included members of the Christian Lives Matter movement, resulting in scuffles and two individuals being arrested.
Bottles were also thrown at police trying to separate the groups while a live streamer was knocked over.
One Nation’s Latham condemned the violence but also said what the LGBT+ protestors did was wrong.
“They were going to block [the entrance] and deny access to the front entry to the church,” Latham told 2GB radio, saying police told his assistant to park around the back instead.
“I was greeted by mainly mothers and grandmothers who wanted to hear about school education, parental rights, and all the issues I’ve been raising during the election campaign,” he said.
The One Nation New South Wales (NSW) leader has been a vocal critic of the state’s education system, exposing young students to issues like gender fluidity and transgenderism.
“The police informed me that out the front there’d been chaotic scenes—the equivalent of a riot—where some of the parishioners took exception to the fact that access to their church was going to be blocked by these transgender protesters and they took matters into their own hands, which was wrong,” he said.
“I think blocking roads and access to the church is definitely wrong. In that setting, people like myself—a politician running for elected office—should be allowed to make his speech,” he added.
Latham said police suggested he cancel the speech, but he refused to, saying it would mean the LGBT protestors had successfully cancelled his “free speech and democratic rights.”
In a message to churchgoers, Latham said that while they may be offended by the actions of the LGBT+ activists, they should: “Keep your hands to yourself. Don’t be violent, allow the police to do their work, come into the hall, listen to the speeches, go away and make up your own mind on who you vote for.”
The right-wing One Nation is tracking strongly in several seats in the multicultural, religious, and largely blue-collar electorates of western Sydney.
One alleged activist group in Norway is calling for Aretha Franklin’s hit 1968 song “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” to be removed from both Apple Music and Spotify after they deemed its lyrics offensive.
The Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance took to Twitter last week to condemn the ballad, citing that it has ignited harm against transgender women.
“Aretha Franklin’s 1968 song ‘Natural Woman’ perpetuates multiple harmful anti-trans stereotypes,” the organization tweeted. “There is no such thing as a ‘natural’ woman.”
The message continued, “The song has helped inspire acts of harm against transgender women. TCMA is requesting it is removed from Spotify & Apple Music.”
🏒….while LGBT Supporters and Media freak out over his decision
A Russian Orthodox hockey player, Ivan Provorov, refused to partake in a “pride” charity event and put on an LGBT jersey. While his team allowed him to exercise his conscience, supporters of Sodom were enraged by this, telling him to go back to where he came from and urging his team to be sued for a million dollars.
Ivan Vladimirovich Provorov is a defenceman and alternate captain for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL).
EJ Hradrek, an NHL commentator, gave an emotional rant about how Provorov should go back to Russia for refusing to partake in the alphabet cult.
Hradrek says that to partake in an LGBT event is to integrate into American culture. Well, many Americans defied this by buying Provorov’s jersey which is now sold out.
