Everyones gonna love this one. This one is filled full with gems:

"Dr Syed Aziz Pasha, secretary general of the Union of Muslim Organisations of the UK and Ireland, said: 'We told her if you give us religious rights, we will be in a better position to convince young people that they are being treated equally along with other citizens.'"

[Fighting Irish]

I may just vomit....

[Dark Skies]

But, in what she admitted were 'sharp' exchanges, some senior Muslim figures turned the tables yesterday and made a series of demands which also included the introduction of Sharia law for family matters.

These dolts have some frikken nerve. I have one word for them...

"internment."

[prairiebreeze]

We want sharia law. IOW, your laws are meaningless.

[prairiebreeze]

just begging to be put in their place, ping

[Jameison]

"A recent poll suggested that a third of British Muslims would rather live under Sharia law,"

Cool.
Off to Pakistan with you, Aziz.

[arizonarachel]

Agreed...I could feel my coffee coming back up on me!

[Vision]

This is terror, and what terrorists to. They commit violence(or try to) and then say it will stop when you give us what we want. It's kind of funny they think they're being reasonable about it.

[Calpernia]

I will be very impressed if the UK doesn't fold to include Shariah Law.

[Jameison]

"We believe that the threat is still external - it is people coming from outside and leading the radicalisation. "

It's always them "bad boys" from the other side of town isn't it?

[OpusatFR]

"...important days in their two main religious festivals - Ramadan and Eid-ul-Adha - should be made public holidays for followers of the faith."

Why? They can't practice Islam in Britain now?

[Publius6961]

"Give us holidays or we'll kill more people" is a strategy?

I don't think so.

Is mental deficiency a requirement of islam?

[Robert A Cook PE]

If the Muslims want Sharia law, then they can live that way.

Nobody is forcing them to go to the bank on THEIR religious holiday.

On the other hand, THEY ARE FORCING British citizens (not of their religion) to follow dowry laws and 7th century stone age precepts?

[rintense]

Blackmail. Either give us what we want or we'll attack you. Nice.

...Dr Pasha said he wanted it only for family affairs.

So they can mistreat the women with impunity?

(If the US ever recognizes a muzzie holiday, I will roast a pig on my front lawn and invite the neighbors.)

[Jameison]

"On the other hand, THEY ARE FORCING British citizens (not of their religion) to follow dowry laws and 7th century stone age precepts?"

Exactly.

[wildehunt]

Colonialism.

How ironic..

[KarlInOhio]

Sharia law, which is practised in large parts of the Middle East, should also be introduced in Britain, they argued. While it specifies stonings and amputations as routine punishments for crimes, Dr Pasha said he wanted it only for family affairs.

Remember, no amputations or stonings of complete strangers yet. You have to keep all of your barbarism within your family. I guess this includes "honor" killing if your daughter looks at a Christian boy.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

let me get this straight..they want sharia law but ONLY for family matters..so, the law of unintended consequences says that EVERYTHING will be considered a family matter and they're now outside, completely, of british law..

if the brits allow this to happen, britain will be on a fast downward path..
