A good example of why the Conservatives have about a 20% lead over Labor in the current polls. They even recently kicked out the communist mayor of London and replaced him with a Conservative.
Lord chief justice throws out 700 years of common law as though is was yesterday’s rubbish. The British rule the empire of foolishness, the sun never sets on their idiocy.
The lunatics are on the grass...
What an absolute moron. Why should the West subvert civilization to allow for an inferior backward culture to grow in its midst.
Utterly ridiculous.
Recent history proves that the “so called peaceful Muslims” work as a team with their Islamic Military. They immigrate to a country touting what peaceful law abiding citizens they are, establish themselves, build mosques, increase their numbers and “bingo” terrorists acts start occurring in the host country. Do the attacks in Spain, England, France, Thailand, Bali, the Philippines, Holland, Sweden and the USA ring any bells here? All these attacks have been preceded by the establishment of moderate mosque communities which in turn became footholds from which the Islamic military could launch their terrorist attacks. The larger the percentage of Muslims that occupy a country the greater the havoc they wreak. The situation is directly proportional. Reducing the percentage of Muslims that dwell in the host country is the most effect way of stopping terrorism.
WRONG. Anyone who wants to live under Sharia law should return to where Sharia law is already the law of the land. Pretty simple.
No, FReepers, that is not the sound of thunder...
That is Blackstone rolling over in his grave...
“The archbishop’s remarks sparked a national debate and led to calls for his resignation. “
I have “great” faith in the intelligence of our British cousins.... :-)
The archbishop is toast..........and Lord Phillips does not care much for his country....dump him ....
Stick a fork in England. It is finished.
A dozen posts before someone read the article. Ding!
I love you; you love me; we're a happy family.
Of course they should be able to live under Sharia...and I would bet that plenty of people would be willing to help them pay for their ticket to fly to Somalia, Yemen or whatever hellhole they choose to move to to enable that to occur.
Can I enter into a contractual agreement with British citizens to sell them guns?
What he says here is no different than contract laws in Texas.
Lord Phillips said: "It is possible in this country for those who are entering into a contractual agreement to agree that the agreement shall be governed by law other than English law." ...
... He said: "There is no reason why principles of Sharia law, or any other religious code, should not be the basis for mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution."
This is a subset of the law for a contract that two people want to enter.
It's not to say that stoning or polygamy are suddenly ok.
Profile: Lord Chief Justice
Lord Phillips is said to be popular among lawyers
The top judge in England and Wales, Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, has frequently spoken of his concerns about prison overcrowding and the need to make more use of community sentences.
The top judge initially came to prominence during his chairmanship of the inquiry into the BSE crisis.
He has also presided over the Maxwell pension fund trial.
Born Nicholas Addison Phillips on 21 January 1938, he was educated at Bryanston School, Blandford, Dorset, and King’s College, Cambridge.
He completed national service with the Royal Navy before being called to the bar in 1962.
Promotions
He was made a QC in 1978 and served as a recorder from 1982 to 1987.
He became a High Court judge in 1987, later presiding over the complicated trials involving the Maxwells and investment company Barlow Clowes.
He was twice promoted during the two-year, nine-month inquiry into BSE.
He was made a Law Lord in January 1999, and two months later sat in one of General Augusto Pinochet’s appeals.
Lord Phillips ruled that the former dictator of Chile had no immunity for extraditable crimes.
In June 2000, he was appointed Master of the Rolls - in charge of the civil division of the Court of Appeal.
His BSE inquiry report concluded that earlier action by the government could have prevented the spread of the disease.
Going undercover
David Body, solicitor for families of vCJD victims, at the time praised the “thorough and proper job” done by the inquiry.
During his career, Lord Phillips has called for the High Court and county courts to be replaced by a single unified civil court.
In 2006 he called for more use of community sentences on the grounds that the jail population in England and Wales neared capacity and made it difficult to ensure inmates could be rehabilitated.
To make his point, Lord Phillips went undercover to take part in a community prevention scheme during which he helped clean up a council estate.
He also said support for terrorism will grow if immigrants feel their human rights are not being respected.
Those comments came after some anti-terrorism measures were abandoned following a ruling by judges that they were illegal under the Human Rights Act. He is also well known for using a bicycle - and wearing a crash helmet - to get to and from court.
He married Cristylle Marie-Therese Rouffiac in 1972, and the couple have a son and daughter, as well as her two children from a previous relationship.
The following is adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat:
Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system.
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.
Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called ‘religious rights.’
When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to ‘the reasonable’ Muslim demands for their ‘religious rights,’ they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
United States — Muslim 1.0%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1%-2%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States ).
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago — Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 10-15%
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 99.9%
Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.
‘Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel. – Leon Uris, ‘The Haj’
It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.
So the only time the courts will step in is when the next Mullah wannabe beheads his sister for an "honor killing".
he’s out of his cotton pickin’ mind
The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips has said for all to hear that he thinks women should be a mans personal property. Hip, hip, hooray for Lord Phillips! /sarcasm!
As the father of two wonderful daughters, I hope you ladies will send this announcement far and wide to all your friends.
