A ROMSEY-based campaign group plans to burn bibles at high-profile locations across central London in protest at Pope Benedict’s four-day state visit to Britain.
Founder of Fathers 4 Justice, Matt O’Connor, who lives in Romsey with wife, Nadine, said the group was planning “shock treatment” for the Catholic Church over what he described as its failure to stand up for families and fathers and the teachings in the Bible.

The US pastor who planned a mass burning of the Qur’an on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks last year has been barred from entering the UK.
The Home Office ban means Florida-based pastor Terry Jones will not now attend a series of demonstrations organised by a far-right group against the expansion of Islam and the construction of mosques in the UK.

Her father arrived at her home with 40 men and threatened to kill her for betraying Islam.
“I saw my uncle and around 40 men storming up the street clutching axes, hammers, knives and bits of wood,” she said.
“My dad was shouting through the letter box, “I’m going to kill you”, while the others smashed on the window and beat the door.
“They were shouting, ‘We’re going to kill you’ and ‘Traitor’.
“It was terrifying. I was convinced I was going to either die, but suddenly after about ten minutes the noise stopped and the men suddenly went away.”
Since then Hannah, who gives talks to churches on Islam, has been on the run from her family, often being forced to flee her home with only a few minutes’ notice.
After receiving the latest text threat from her brother, in June, she finally went to the police.
No one has been arrested or charged in connection with the death threats, but officers have put her on an “at risk” register and have given her a panic number to call if she fears for her own safety.
It’s a religion of peace………
Celebrate diversity!
Cowards – as long as there is no danger, protest! Someone threatens – HIDE!
