‘That attack’: Greg Griffith
Greg Griffith: ‘Build Your Own Fake Truth’, 10 April 2008, StandFirm. See also his helpful ‘Fake but Accurate’, 11 April 2008, post, where Greg highlights Peter Ould’s ‘meticulous and well-done’ commentary
What Colin Coward, Davis Mac-Iyalla, Susan Russell and Integrity, and the rest of CA’s English and American partners are doing is charging that the Anglican Church of Nigeria, and Archbishop Peter Akinola himself, aren’t just hostile to homosexuality in general, or to certain homosexuals in particular, but that they deliberately orchestrated this "attack." If the "victim" really sustained life-threatening injuries, and if he really has any credible evidence whatsoever that the Anglican Church of Nigeria and Peter Akinola had anything to do with the planning and execution of the attack, then charges should be brought against Akinola and the church immediately. Furthermore, the scope of the charges should include at the very least conspiracy, assault and battery, and attempted murder
Greg Griffith goes on to explain the paucity of the evidence:
1. If, as claimed in the link above, it wasn’t until last week that Davis Mac-Iyalla sent out his email describing this "attack," then we’re left to wonder how it is that this attention-seeking activist waited two weeks before relaying news of this event to his pals in England and America. We’re told it arrived via email, and I know Nigeria is far away, but trust me: Email travels from Nigeria to America in moments. Why would Mac-Iyalla wait two weeks to report "news" of this magnitude - news so "hot" that the Archbishop of Canterbury felt compelled to condemn it?
2. Where is the physical or photographic evidence of this "attack"? The writer in the link above scoffs at the reliability of police reports from Nigeria. That seems like an easy way out of producing evidence, which is why in my post yesterday I asked about other evidence - easy to obtain, and entirely reliable. Read the rest HERE:
