A PRIEST is set to install high fences around his church in Blackburn in a bid to combat racist attacks.
The move was revealed as a Muslim leader blasted the gang of youths which targeted St Joseph’s RC Church, in Audley, Blackburn.
Coun Salim Mulla, secretary of the Lancashire Council of Mosques, said the gang were “disgraceful and disrespectful” and he was so angry that when he found out who was responsible he would personally report them to the police.
The latest incident happened on Sunday at 11pm and although the church’s alarm system prevented the youths from gaining access to the church, significant damage was done to the church door.
Father Francis Parkinson, the Roman Catholic priest at St Joseph’s, was also targeted in February when he was racially abused by a gang of youths who had been loitering in the church car park.
A 19-year-old later admitted racially aggravated threatening behaviour against the priest and was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £50 costs.
Father Francis said the church and its car park have been plagued with gangs of juveniles making a nuisance of themselves.
He said he was looking to install high fences around the church and car park to keep youths out and protect the church from vandalism.
He added: “I would simply like to know why these young men feel they have got to do this as I personally don’t understand it.
“This is just another example of wanton vandalism that is upsetting community cohesion.
“These youths have shown no respect for the church as a place of worship. How would they feel if a gang of vandals attempted to break into their mosque?
“I was racially abused by youths hanging around the church car park a few months back and now we have had an attempted break-in.
“The bolt on the door has been broken. Repairs cost money. I have spoken to Coun Mulla about this situation and he is most upset that this keeps happening and has said he will do what he can to find those responsible.”
Coun Mulla said he couldn’t believe the church had been targeted again and called for the Muslim community to condemn the youths’ actions.
“I expect all youths to be law abiding and not cause harm to people’s places of worship. Sadly some youths behave disgracefully and these youths in particular have disgraced their community by what they have done to St Joseph’s.”
“I want to send a strong message to the community that this sort of racist and anti-social behaviour is not acceptable.”
Insp Jenny Coulston, of Blackburn police, said she believed the incident was part of an ongoing problem of juvenile nuisance in the Audley area.
Anti-white racism by second or third generation’s of immigrants.
our local crem is constantly being vandalised by yobs of all cultures predominatly white though….
anybody who desecrates graves or disrespects english churchs needs their town halls chopped off (they are all male btw too, arent they always??) :o
But Lambrini- in Emma’s messed up little world, only “darkies” are the baddies, the dozens of mosques vandalised, the hundreds of churches vandalised by little sh/its (99% white) doesn’t happen in Emm’as world
this thread deserves no more attention, posting or acknowledgement- I rarely get abusive but this really is a fu/ckwit thread
i dont follow any religion but i think there is something special about churches and enjoy looking at old ones…. i find they have a real calming influence and should be respected by all, just as we are expected to respect other religous buildings.
look at the beautiful temples in thailand and places like that, no matter whether you believe in a god or not they are beautiful buildings and nobody has the right to spoil them
The BNP wont take crap from idiots black or white, asian or other, youth or adult.
Its about treating decent people with decency. On this occassion, anti-white racism was the deal, and that is not acceptable, no racism is.
Im not religious either, but a property is a property. A church building is a symbol of England’s great past.
Who better to carry out the teachings of our lord Jesus Christ than the BNP? We need to vote for these saintly, virtuous men so that they can continue to preach the gospel and spread peace, love and understanding throughout this land. Why, I’m sure you’ll find many BNP activists at your local church singing in the choir.
Songs from the BNP hymn sheet:
1 Jerusalem (has too many Jews in it)
2 That Old Rugged Cross (which we’re about to set on fire)
3 To Be A Pilgrim (to Hitler’s Bunker)
4 Abide With Me (or I’ll kill you)
5 Oh Happy Day (at the nuremberg rally)My aunt Flo can’t wait for the annual BNP church jumble sale, she’s hoping to pick up an SS uniform.
Audley is a large asian area of town. The council here have also been provideing asian males with free driveing lessons. wounderful to know that my council tax is being spent on that. :evil:

You ignoramus-
If this was anything it was an attack on a catholic church- IT HAS F/UCK ALL TO DO WITH ANTI WHITE… unless you’re claiming only whites can be catholics in which case you’re understanding of religion would be no greater than you’re understanding of this country
Any colour of people can be christians, this racist attack just happens to be against white people.
And I honestly believed that the fences around churches and graveyards were to keep the Zombies IN
Thank you for such an enightening thread !
