Reading this report (which makes for horrific reading) it makes one wonder how long is it to be tolerated?
In fact when reading the excerpts below it seems that some 'Liberal' thinking councils are not only condoning it are but also spending taxpayers money, in their constant quest at making Britain into a truly 'Multicultural' country.
/// In June, it emerged that social workers at Islington Council, North London, considered sending an African boy back to his native land, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), for an exorcism at the taxpayers’ expense because his mother claimed he was possessed by ‘kindoki’ or evil spirits and needed ‘deliverance’. ///
/// Astonishingly, the council paid Dr Richard Hoskins, an expert in African religion, £4,372 to travel to Kinshasa, the capital of the DRC, to investigate how and if the ceremony should take place, because social workers were worried the family’s ‘sensibilities might be affected’ if they didn’t obey the mother’s wishes. ///

It is frightening to say the least, that some ABers are prepared to blame the Church of England, The Catholics and even the Americans, just because these horrific acts disturbs their 'Leftist' agenda, so much so that they are prepared to blame anyone except the real monsters.
These matters should be above politics, and all decent people should be alarmed of what is happening in our country in the 21st century..
After three days of torture, Kristy Bamu was put in the bath and hosed down with cold water to get rid of the blood on his body. Horribly injured, he slid under the water as the bath filled up, and drowned[i
]Nine days before Kristy’s death, a mother disembowelled her four-year-old daughter to ‘exorcise evil spirits’ at her home in Hackney, Londonquote[
]Last month, four family members were found guilty of murdering a pregnant 21-year-old woman whom they claimed was ‘possessed’ by ‘evil spirits’ <br/> <br/> And just this week a Nigerian couple were sentenced to seven years in jail after abusing their children — who they believed to be possessed — for ten years[i]

I am fascinated - by the topic and of course by Baz's impression of a bottom, which never disappoints.
Seriously though - if you'd said to me forty years ago that voodoo and witchcraft would be ANY kind of an issue in 21st centruy UK, I'd have laughed out loud. Or maybe LOL'd.
And the same applies to established religion - who'd have thought it can still provoke not just debate but violence....
There's a lot to think about here.

Over history, throughout the world, religion has 'bent' to accommodate existing culture. A good example is Christmas and Easter, both dates were feast days and celebrated long before Christianity came to the UK.
I am all for religious freedoms. Everyone should be allowed to practice their own religion and worship their own Gods or deities. Equally non-believers should be free to exercise their choices, too.
But it should all be within the laws of the land. The CofE does exorcise demons but it is never brutal or abusive. It is more symolic, as is the Communion.
It is about time the full force of the law was applied to everybody breaking the law, regardless of their reasons of culture.

The case was a shocking reminder of how witchcraft, with its roots in Africa, South Asia and the Caribbean, is now practised in the heart of our multicultural cities and towns
A witch is a practitioner of witchcraft. The origin of the word came from Anglo-Saxon’s "wicca," meaning wise. Also related to Middle Low German, “wicken” means “to conjure.”

A witch (from Old English wicca masculine, wicce feminine) is a practitioner of witchcraft. Historically, it was widely believed in early modern Christian Europe
It's ok .... I have looked it up myself.
