INTRO: The Muslim population of England has passed the three million mark for the first time, according to new figures by the Office for National Statistics. The new figures suggest that in 2016 there were 3,138,000 Muslims in England and Wales, up by more than 400,000 from 2.7 million over the five years. This was an increase of roughly 16 per cent. In England alone, the ONS estimates said, there were 3,092,000 Muslims in 2016. As a share of the population of England, the assessment indicated that Muslims made up 5.6 per cent in 2016 against 4.7 per cent in 2011. While the ONS said the new estimates could not be used to assess local populations, the 2011 census report said that Muslims tended to be concentrated in particular areas of England... (MORE)
‘Death to gays’ hate preacher says God set Australia on fire because he was banned from entering the country

INTRO: As a surge of flames creep onto crowded suburbs and costal getaways in Australia resulting in the deaths of dozens of citizens, a Christian hate preacher has claimed that, of course, the gays are to blame.
Using the tried and true tactics of claiming gay people have the ability to control weather phenomena, Steven Anderson, who once called for the execution of gay people by stoning and openly celebrated the massacre at Orlando’s Pulse gay club, has now said the bushfires are the “judgment of God” for “banning and deporting preachers of the Gospel.”
Last year, Anderson was banned from Australia – the 33rd country he has been barred from entering – and this, definitely not climate catastrophe and the nonchalant response from officials towards it, is why the continent is being ravaged by flames.
His rap sheet of hateful, anti-LGBT comments has seen the leader of the Faithful Word Baptist Church all 26 of Europe’s Schengen states, Botswana, Jamaica, Ireland, South Africa, the UK and Canada. “Maybe if Australia weren’t banning and deporting preachers of the Gospel, they wouldn’t be under the judgment of God,” the preacher’s Arizona-based church wrote in a Facebook post on January 3...
