British Muslims want Islamic Law
Guardian Unlimited ^ | Tuesday November 30, 2004 | Alan Travis and Madeleine Bunting

Posted on 11/30/2004 12:15:03 AM PST by eluminate

Muslims in Britain want greater recognition of their faith with the introduction of Islamic law for civil cases and time off for prayers during the working day, but are equally committed to greater participation in British life.

A special Guardian/ICM poll based on a survey of 500 British Muslims found that a clear majority want Islamic law introduced into this country in civil cases relating to their own community. Some 61% wanted Islamic courts - operating on sharia principles - "so long as the penalties did not contravene British law".

No, I didn't mean Muslim immigrants. I meant anyone else who may be considering fleeing at the thought of a Muslim Britain. (If I lived there, and had the insane policies their government seems to have, I'd read the writing on the wall and move to the U.S.)

It always amazes me on how people want to escape the hell hole countries they live in then only to demand bringing their "culture" with them which is why their country is a hell hole to begin with.

Your reply seemed verbatim to one of my opinions on Islam and Muslims about three months ago. And I like the fact that this opinion of mine is shared by more than one! Thanks!

By the way, if you want to open a line of communication to debate with an ardent mooselimb "evangelist" wannabe, whom I have been(and still do) trying to convince to shed off his evil baggage called Islam, I am willing to give you his email. But mail me first.

It would be my observation that they left the Muslim world because they had no wealth or influence. They cannot invision an alternative way of life however and wish to be influential persons in their adopted country and can see only their culture as legitimate. Tus, they must (by their god's will) recreate the theocratic hellhole with themseloves at the top.

Some cultures and religions are compatable with others. Islam is not one of these cultures.

Muslim communities near me are insular, fearing "contamination" from their Buddhist orchristian neighbors. Should they become a sufficiently large portion, there is no doubt in my mind that they will demand autonomy first and resort to violence should their demands be resisted. That is the pattern in the South of Thailand, in Bangkok and in provinces where they are growing in number. The religion makes this inevitable. Kind of reminds one of cancer doesn't it?

Uh, I think they'd first have to consider wife-beating and beheadings illegal to get in step with British law.

. . .I would bet that this insight will be lost on the typical Lib, who will not 'get it'; until he himself, is sitting in the next subway car, wondering how he got there.

If they want Islamic law, why did they move to Britain? This is not immigration, this is invasion.

Oh, well, in 20 years or so they can't say that they weren't warned.

Of course they won't be able to say it, they won't be able to say anything. Graveyards are silent.

Islam was only unsuccessful since 1300AD because they lacked AKs, skyjackers, nukes, and lib enablers.

Now like the rabid rats out in the barn they will all play nicely with your kids here in America.

We all know the eventual required cure.

It is only a question of time until motivation hits us (again)

British Muslims want Britian too, they should have asked that question as well.

Liberalism, multiculturalism, political correctness, race-baiting and fears of being called racist, etc., have in part lead to this problem and won out over basic common sense.

What kind of country just gives itself away?

Liberals are only too happy to submit to muslims. I believe they already have made inroads into canada regarding operating under sharia. And on a more local level, Gwinnett county in GA has caved to letting students out of school on fridays so they can go to mosques.

This is too good to be true...It won't be long before all of Europe will be part of the Islamic Empire. Let's see how they like that.

You're kidding, right?

It is inevitable that we will rescue Europe (once again) after an Islamic Hitler rises claiming persecution and oppression, and takes over by force imposing Sharia law, lopping off heads again at the Tower of London.

That's when we call Schwartzkopf back from retirement for European Storm.

Maybe just liberals could go under sharia law. A little stoning and amputation may work wonders on their consciousness (or unconsciousness).
