A RADICAL Muslim group sparked outrage last night as it launched a massive campaign to impose sharia law on Britain.
The fanatical group Islam4UK has announced plans to hold a potentially incendiary rally in London later this month.
And it is calling for a complete upheaval of the British legal system, its officials and legislation.
Members have urged Muslims from all over Britain to converge on the capital on October 31 for a procession to demand the full implementation of sharia law.
On a website to promote their cause they deride British institutions, showing a mock-up picture of Nelson’s Column surmounted by a minaret.
Plans for the demonstration have been delivered to the Metropolitan Police and could see up to 5,000 extremists marching to demand the controversial system.
The procession – dubbed March 4 Shari’ah – will start at the House of Commons, which the group’s website describes as the “very place where the lives of millions of people in the UK are changed and it is from here where unjust wars are launched”.
The group then intends to march to 10 Downing Street and “call for the removal of the tyrant Gordon Brown from power”.
The march will then converge on Trafalgar Square where protesters expect it “will gather even more support from tourists and members of the public, making clear in the heart of London the need for Shari’ah in society”.
The group declared: “We hereby request all Muslims in the United Kingdom, in Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Glasgow and all other places to join us and collectively declare that as submitters to Almighty Allah, we have had enough of democracy and man-made law and the depravity of the British culture.
“On this day we will call for a complete upheaval of the British ruling system its members and legislature, and demand the full implementation of Shari’ah in Britain.”
Last night politicians and fellow Muslims condemned the group’s incendiary comments, which come in the wake of recent violent incidents in towns and cities like Manchester, Birmingham and Luton, Beds.
Conservative MP and ex-Army officer Patrick Mercer said: “It is extremely distasteful and is stoking the fires of fear within the British public. “If anyone thinks that those views are a step forward in society they are seriously deluded. They are repellent and repulsive.”
The group was also attacked by Tory MP Philip Davies who said: “This march is clearly a deliberate and provocative attempt to incite racial tension and disrupt community cohesion.
“The simple solution is for these people to move to a country which already has sharia law.”
A spokesman for the Islamic Society of Britain said: “99.999 per cent of Muslims despise these people. This only serves to fuel racial tensions.”
And Tory MP and Daily Express columnist Ann Widdecombe, said: “You cannot have two legal systems side by side and the one we have now works and the British people are perfectly happy with it.”
The rally has not yet been given final approval. A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “We have received an application for the march but we have yet to meet with the organisers.”
A Home Office spokesman said: “Everyone has the right to express their view so long as it is done sensibly, without violence and does not incite religious hatred.”
Plans for the march are revealed on the website Islam4UK, which is fronted by preacher Anjem Choudary who has also called for all British women to wear burkhas.
Explaining the Nelson’s Column mock-up he said that under sharia law the construction and elevation of statues or idols is prohibited and consequently the statue of Nelson “would be removed and demolished without hesitation”. At the base of the column the friezes would be replaced with Islamic decoration and giant urns would be filled with gold coins for the poor.
Mr Choudary has said that under sharia law in Britain people who commit adultery would be stoned to death, adding that “anyone who becomes intoxicated by alcohol would be given 40 lashes in public”.
He has also mocked the deaths of British soldiers, and branded an Army homecoming parade a “vile parade of brutal murderers”.
Yes, isn’t that something. Sheesh, Obama’s love fest is really paying off. /s
Problem is, I don't know which society will be worse. The ultra tolerant of anything depraved PC tyrannies the left builds or an Islamic society.
Then Bush should of sealed the borders and stop inviting Muslims here.
Yep, all hell is getting ready to break lose everywhere.
Move to a small country or island with no Muslims. Keep them out.
Marching for another theocracy like Iran? Winston Churchill is spinning in his grave!

Hahahaha! Gold coins for the poor my ass!
Just show me one place in the world where
this exists. One islamic nation?
Farking idiots.
The barbarians are not at the gate. They are inside the castle already.
Nah...thats what they want.
The way to beat these people is to just ignore them. Let them march to empty streets and public disdain.
If they get rowdy, send in the water cannons loaded with pig slurry.
I was IN a small country that was an island with no Muslims, forty years ago! Now look at it.
Your enemies are about to destroy your pathetic, disarmed asses.
Makes me wonder what is on the immediate horizon for the UK...
Maybe, but not quietly.
The tories are goig to win the election,,Cameron is way ahead of Brown. Unless they shoot themselves first.
“Mogahed said the hijab was not an issue for the women, and that they were most interested in facilitating women’s rights and various good-government issues – which in their minds was congruent with sharia.””
proving once more,they have no minds.
Only if you have a weapon...otherwise you are the target
“A spokesman for the Islamic Society of Britain said: “99.999 per cent of Muslims despise these people.”
That, I’m afraid, is a comforting lie.”
That is indeed a lie. Poll after poll in the UK says 25-30% want sharia law there and support violent measures to get it.
“giant urns would be filled with gold coins for the poor”
People in Detroit and Chicago would be more than happy with that.
"Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day."
