TERRORIST TELENI: WHO’S HE FOOLING?

Word from within the echelons of the Methodist Church is that the terrorist Police Commissioner Esala Teleni had rung the Church executives to confirm that he had not authorized and was completely unaware of the moves to detain senior executives of the Church over the last couple of days. What? One may ask, how could the head poncho of the Fiji Police force be unaware of the detainment of senior ministers and officers of the Church? Isn’t it true that just a couple of days ago, terrorist Teleni had issued a statement supporting the mentally deranged terrorist Prime Minister stating that there will be no permits issued for the Church’s Rewa conference?
If one gives this law-breaking leader of the Fiji Police the benefit of the doubt and were to believe he was unaware of the detainment of Ministers of the Church, then what is terrorist Teleni’s business telling the public? As servants of this oppressive regime, is it not the duty of his Police officers to make arrests and detain under the laws including the public emergency regulation? Or where in the law does it say that all arrests and detainment should first have the personal approval of the Police Commissioner?
The truth is, Teleni is lying; nowhere in the laws does it say that arrests and detainment may only be made at the express authority of the Commissioner. And the arrest of the Church General Secretary and 7 other senior ministers confirm that neither Bainimarama nor Teleni and the government have any respect for the prophetic role of the Church in standing up for God’s morality in the public domain. The more likely scenario is that terrorist Teleni is employing a smoke screen to hoodwink the Church. It is an attempt to fool the executives of the Church and stem the growing tide of anti regime sentiments. Having firmly made its stance for the restoration of basic rights, the rule of law, and a quick return to democracy as a means to alleviate the oppression and growing poverty, and after deciding that the Rewa conference will go ahead despite threats from the terrorists in power, the terrorist’s regime only weapon is either get the Church back on their side through whatever means or enforce their threat through force including the gun for which they will be held fully accountable either locally or by the international community.
So as the Church executives meet with terrorist Teleni today, let them be mindful of the real motive behind this visit. The Church is facing a serious test of faith. The Fiji community and the world is watching; good people agree and fully support the godly stance the Church has taken this far, and the Lord Jesus says that the price will be persecution. No matter what terrorist Teleni may say, by supporting and enforcing the new Methodists, terrorist Teleni has severely breached the right to belief and has declared war on other religions including the Methodist Church. Jesus teaches us to forgive; at Calvary he forgave but he died gruesomely standing up for God’s principles.
