'Muslims want sharia law in Britain'

Radical Muslim group Islam4UK has launched a campaign to impose sharia law on Britain, starting with a rally in London, according to a report.

Members of the organisation have Muslims from all over Britain to meet in the capital on October 31 for a procession to demand the full implementation of sharia law.

The demonstration will start at the House of Commons and will then converge on Trafalgar Square.

Bob, Miss Joyous, I have no more time for Islamic extremists than I have for right wing radicals. God knows America has produced more than it,s fair share of them. America is the "home" of more religious sect,s and cults than any nation on earth, do,es that answer your question?

Incidentally, they do not want to "impose" sharia law at all, it would not affect non Muslims. They have as much chance of getting that as a cat in hell. but they have the right to make their point even if the vast majority don,t agree with them.

I agree with Pj,

Sharia is a now a familiar term to Muslims and non-Muslims. It can often be heard in news stories about politics, crime, feminism, terrorism and civilisation.

All aspects of a Muslim's life are governed by Sharia. Sharia law comes from a combination of sources including the Qur'an (the Muslim holy book), the Hadith (sayings and conduct of the prophet Muhammad) and fatwas (the rulings of Islamic scholars).

Many people, including Muslims, misunderstand Sharia. It's often associated with the amputation of limbs, death by stoning, lashes and other medieval punishments. Because of this, it is sometimes thought of as draconian. Some people in the West view Sharia as archaic and unfair social ideas that are imposed upon people who live in Sharia-controlled countires.

Many Muslims, however, hold a different view. In the Islamic tradition Sharia is seen as something that nurtures humanity. They see the Sharia not in the light of something primitive but as something divinely revealed. In a society where social problems are endemic, Sharia frees humanity to realise its individual potential.

Have just read your attachment, I stand corrected, but it is only a minute number of Muslims involved. Incidentally, right wing republicans are free to protest outside of the houses of Parliament if they so desire.....

Phew, that’s a relief. We had better change the system which we have had all these centuries that has suited us all of this time and have some of that then. We really need to curry favour with the immigrants who are fast taking over.

In Texas a Muslim shot one of his daughters 6 times in the back, his other daughter 2 times in the chest. They both died.

A few days ago in Arizona a muslim ran over his daughter because she was becoming to westernized. She died.

It wasn't reported if they were following Sharia law or what part of the religion they believed made it OK for them to kill their children.

Both instances were described as honor killings. I don't think I like any religion that frees humanity to realise its individual potential. Daughters wind up dead with no potential.

I note the last line of Bob's URL - conveniently omitted of course

" A spokesman for the Islamic Society of Britain told the newspaper: “99.999 per cent of Muslims despise these people. This only serves to fuel racial-tensions.”

Nevertheless, if this tiny minority want to demonstrate to voice their beliefs, well, jolly good luck to them.
No different to a Billy Graham Crusade or a Jehovah's Witless Convention.
Of course the danger is that hate-fueled, fear-driven "christians" will take violent action against them.


Now Bob, even IF those atrocities in Texas and Arizona are true (I note that you provide no evidence),
you reckon we couldn't trot out ten times as many such incidents perpetrated by "christian" religious nuts ?
