We the undersigned appeal to Mr Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, The Rt Rev'd and Rt Hon Richard Chartres, Bishop of London and to the Most Rev'd and Rt Hon Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, to immediately prohibit (disallow) erection of the replica of the Tower of Baal on Trafalgar Square on April 19th. The Tower of Baal is a part of the Temple of Baal, which was the place of worship of a deity symbolising the reproductive power of nature. This worship legalised and encouraged sexual indulgencies as well as child sacrifice. Prophet Jeremiah reproached the people for building the high places of Baal to burn their children in fire as burnt offerings unto Baal.
In an article for World Net Daily, Matt Barber explains some of the elements of Baal worship:
"Ritualistic Baal worship, in sum, looked a little like this: Adults would gather around the altar of Baal. Infants would then be burned alive as a sacrificial offering to the deity. Amid horrific screams and the stench of charred human flesh, congregants – men and women alike – would engage in bisexual orgies. The ritual of convenience was intended to produce economic prosperity by prompting Baal to bring rain for the fertility of 'mother earth'.
Whilst we understand and respect the intent behind this project: to defy ISIS's destruction of historical sites, the erection of the replica may have graver consequences than intended benefits. The last time the Temple of Baal, this time known as the Altar of Zeus, was rebuilt in Germany in 1910-1930. We all know the consequences of that: two World Wars came out of Germany which resulted in the death of millions.
We call for the immediate revoking of permits that would grant license to the erection of this monument.

I have been neck deep in research about the historical implications of this monument and honestly the more I dig into the rituals the more my stomach turns at the thought of it sitting in such a prominent public space. Some people are calling me obsessive but they clearly do not understand the weight of symbols in our city squares. I am still waiting for an actual reply from the Mayor's office although I doubt they even read the letters I have been sending their way.

A hundred people have put their names behind this already which is just honestly surreal because I honestly thought it would just be me and a few friends staring at a blank screen. It is really starting to sink in that people actually care about what happens in the square and why we really need to rethink this whole plan before things get out of control.

I really never thought this would gain this much steam but here we are and honestly it feels like people are finally starting to see what I see. The momentum is just wild and it makes me think that maybe we actually have a shot at keeping this thing out of the square if we keep pushing forward.

This nation protects the vunerable and has done so through the ages. Just ask William Wilberforce. There must be another way to show support without desecrating our shores. This needs a rethink
There are many other structures that would be more appropriate to place in the heart of a Christian nation. The replica of the temple of Baal is wholly inappropriate in a society fighting human traficking of children and with laws that protect the rights of children.
Whilst I fully support tolerance and a reasoned approach to most subjects, this is most definitely a step too far. Tolerance is not about being marginalised, it is time that the voices of the moderate and meek are heard and understoood, Please stop this monstrosity now.
You need to look at the orignial intent of this Tower 's creation and ask "do we want to edify that? Whether you have a faith or not. As a christian I would profoundly not want this build in a pivital part of the City of London.
Baal worship involved the sacrifice of infants by fire as an offering. The Temple of Baal was rebuilt in Germany prior to the Nazi Regime rose to power. On those grounds I call on any permit to build it at Trafalgar Square to be revoked.
This is a CHRISTIAN country. Why do we always have to pander to other religions. The erectiom of the temple of Baal on British soil would mean the wrath of God om our nation What could be worse?
this is very sinister and maleficent it must be stopped1

I employ you as a senior leader in London to consider the wishes of those who sign this petition as important. I would consider to erect such a monument as offensive to my faith, and I consider my religious beliefs as valuable as any other religion in this nation, not to minimised.
