|

If you were from the UK would you care if Sheria laws were adopted in small portions into the legal system, and then later expanded as the Muslim population grows?

Sharia Law. Yes, let's all just submit, and then we can live in peace.
Unless you are gay. Or an inobservant woman. Hell, any inobservant person, for that matter.
Why fight the inevitable? It's only a cancer. Right? |

I'm all for it. Make all those women at the BBC and the Guardian, who call anyone racist for criticizing Islam and immigration into Europe, wear the Burqa. I'm serious. I want to see those women in polygamous marriages to violent Muslim men. |

It's a shame such a question should even be brought to the table. The archbishop should be stoned. |

This is the point Steyn always makes. It won't be conservatives who are deeply affected by this, but the lefties. Steyn figures he can just grow a beard, take a couple more wives and keep his head down and all will be ok.
But what about tolerance for people not named mohamed? Have they all been slapped in the face and told to piss off?

Manchester Imam says" Killing gays is ok"
Manchester's leading Imam has confirmed that he thinks the execution
of sexually active gay men is justified. Mr. Arshad Misbahi, who is
based at the Manchester Central Mosque, confirmed his views in a
conversation to Dr John Casson, a local psychotherapist.
Dr Casson said: "I asked him if the execution of gay Muslims in Iran
and Iraq was an acceptable punishment in Sharia law, or the result of
culture, not religion. He told me that in a true Islamic state, such
punishments were part of Islam: if the person had had a trial, at
which four witnesses testified that they had seen the actual
homosexual acts."
"I asked him what would be the British Muslim view? He repeated that
in an Islamic state these punishments were justified. They might
result in the deaths of thousands but if this deterred millions from
having sex, and spreading disease, then it was worthwhile to protect
the wider community."
"I checked again that this was not a matter of tradition, culture or
local prejudice. 'No,' he said, 'It is part of the central tenets of
Islam: that sex outside marriage is forbidden; this is stated in the
Koran and the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had stated
that these punishments were due to such behaviours.'" |

Well, good thing the UK isn't going to set up an islamic state.. Oh, wait. Sh.it. |

You come to the UK you live by UK laws end of story. Doesnt matter who is making these suggestions.
We shouldnt even be having this discussion imo.
The words of the Manchester Imam are truly disturbing but what we have come to expect from the proponents of the religion of peace. And these Imams are towards the higher realms of Islam and are the ones meant to be educating and enlightening all the young muslims around them and in the UK today. This is a very worrying situation indeed. By giving these insane people more rights and increasing freedoms it will only mean that they will make more demands in the future.
I wonder what the 'moderate' Muslim response will be this time?  |

Similar arrangements have long been in place for Talmudic Law. Orthodox Jews in Britain have a network of religious courts throughout the country and no-one seems to mind. It's hard to argue that it should be denied to Muslims when this privilege has already been extended to Jews. |

where can we start an atheist country and anyone who enters must renounce any/all religions?
seems the only way to be free from religio-idiots. |

The solution then is the retract the special arrangements for other faiths to prevent the most regressive force in the world from taking advantage of situations such as this. |
