Islamic punishments, such as the amputation of limbs, will make Britain a safer place, the founder of the country’s oldest sharia court told The Times. Sheikh Suhaib Hasan, secretary of the Islamic Sharia Council, said the enforcement of such laws was “something to bring you more peace and security”. Hasan, who presides over a sharia court in East London that rules on civil matters such as divorce, emphasised that he neither sought nor expected the implementation of Islamic criminal laws in Britain because it was not a Muslim country. However, he said problems such as ‘knife crimes’ would be better resolved if harsher punishments were meted out because they worked as a deterrent. Acknowledging the controversy surrounding any notion of support for hardline Islamic law in Britain, he said he was merely expressing his point of view as a devout Muslim. app
I don’t think the English did stuff like that even back in the 1200s.
Animals that blow their own children up need different punishment is what he’s saying.
So will a Muslim doctor do the operation to properly remove a limb or will we just use a meat cleaver and send them to the hospital?
Being in Sweden, I spend time on the Local.se--loads of Brits on there who have fled England. I can see why.
Safer? Not for the British!
See, they're only interested in helping us.
Hmm... Amputation of MooseLimbs?
Why the UK decided to poison itself by importing millions of Pakistanis and Bangladeshis (arguably the most dangerous of world Moose populations), is beyond me.
The UK has a few hundred thousand Hindu Indians too, but noone hears them demanding amputations of limbs, or indeed any other such outrage. They run their businesses quietly (of one of which, Cobra Beer, owned by Karan (Now Lord) Billimoria, I am a particular fan).
I cant understand this penchant for self destruction. Liberalism gone wild.
. Maybe I will rethink going to the London Olympics. What if I chewed gum and had to have my tongue sawed off or something?

Well, actually they did.
Also, this is what happens to societies that degenerate — it creates moral and civil chaos and disrespect for the foundations of the government’s legitimacy. Same is happening here in the USA. You have a system that is based on a religeous, cultural norm — then it gets questioned and weakened by those we call liberals today. Then we see family life cheapened, laws that protect perverts and criminals while punishing those trying to do right, etc. and then someone comes along with absolutism — which appeals the same way back in school when a weak substitute teacher comes in for a few days and there is total confusion — when the real teacher comes back you breathe a sigh of relief. It happened in pre-Hitler Germany and it will absolutely happen in the west big time whether it’s a movement based on authoritarianism and secularism or one based on Islam.
That'll make *everyone* safer.
Cheers!
NO more calls, please.
We have a.....
Cheers!
Hanging, drawing and quartering was first introduced in England in the 1200s. The condemned man was hanged but cut down choking while still alive, his genitals were cut off and burned before him, then his abdomen was opened and his entrails burnt before him, then he was decapitated and cut in four pieces.
Typically the head was put on the castle gate (or in London at Temple Bar, while the four quarters were placed at four of the principal gates of the city.
And then there's this scene from a little later - the fourteenth century:
"Our business is with the Scots," quoth the elder; "for it was the Scots who cut off daddy's string fingers and his thumbs.""Aye, lads, it was that," said a deep voice from behind Alleyne's shoulder. Looking round, the wayfarers saw a gaunt, big-boned man, with sunken cheeks and a sallow face, who had come up behind them. He held up his two hands as he spoke, and showed that the thumbs and two first fingers had been torn away from each of them.
Hard times, those, with hard men. But England has grown too soft, and criminals range unpunished while the innocent are harried, and Islamic law will fill the gap.
Depressingly, if the State continues to pander to the “rights” of offenders rather than protect “victims”, ordinary citizens may begin to look upon Sharia law as a viable alternative. Even more depressingly, they may be right.
