Obama Secertly Backed Plan For Sharia Law In Pakistan
2009-02-19 15:19:00 Wow how ridiculous is this?From The Telegraph:American officials have privately backed Pakistan's "Sharia law for peace" deal with Taliban militants in the Swat Valley despite publicly criticising it as a "negative development".The deal, under which Sharia law will be introduced in the Malakhand and Kohistan districts of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province if Taliban militants end their armed campaign in the Swat Valley, has been met with alarm by Nato chiefs and British and American officials.Nato fears the deal would create a new "safe haven" for extremists, said a spokesman on Tuesday night, while a statement from Britain's High Commission in Islamabad said: "Previous peace deals have not provided a comprehensive and long-term solution to Swat's problems. We need to be confident that they will end violence, not create space for further violence."President Barack Obama's special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan voiced the greatest concern about the strength of Taliban mi...

Sharia Law
2009-01-12 17:33:00 Downing Street says,'We received a petition asking:“We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to stop Islamic Sharia Law being used in Great Britain.”“The most senior judge in England and Wales has said that aspects of Islamic sharia law could be used in the UK, provided they don’t conflict with existing laws. I say that Islamic sharia law should not be used in the United Kingdom and the Prime Minister should do everything within his power to stop it being introduced.”Government’s responseShari’a law is the code of personal religious law governing the conduct of Muslims. It can extend into all aspects of people’s lives – personal, religious, family, civil and criminal.Shari’a law is not part of the law of England and Wales. The Government does not intend to change this position in relation to the whole or part of the United Kingdom. However, provided an activity prescribed by Shari’a law does not contravene the law of England and Wales, there is nothing t...

UK?s first official sharia courts
2008-09-17 12:47:00 From The Sunday Times September 14, 2008'ISLAMIC law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases. The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence. Rulings issued by a network of five sharia courts are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court. Previously, the rulings of sharia courts in Britain could not be enforced, and depended on voluntary compliance among Muslims. It has now emerged that sharia courts with these powers have been set up in London, Birmingham, Bradford and Manchester with the network?s headquarters in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Two more courts are being planned for Glasgow and Edinburgh. Sheikh Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi, whose Muslim Arbitration Tribunal runs the courts, said he had taken advantage of a clause in the Arbitration Act 1996. Under ...

Sharia creeps ever closer in France
2008-03-09 16:55:00 From the Brussels Journal: Tomorrow the French go to the polls for the first round of the municipal elections. [The poster to the right is of] Mohamed Latrèche, a Muslim running for mayor of Strasbourg on the PMF party (Party of the Muslims of France). He stands for “real change” (le vrai changement). Gaëlle Mann, a most useful French website, asks: Is it normal in a “laic” country (where Church and State are separate), for a purely religious party such as the PMF to vie for the votes of the electorate? A reader offers an answer: Of course, dear Gaëlle, it is perfectly normal for a Muslim religious party to present candidates in the election, since we live in a “laic” country. On the other hand it would be abnormal for a Catholic religious party to present candidates, since we live in a “laic” country. Another poster that you can view at the website lists the urgent demands of the PMF party: • A Muslim cemetery with perpetual rights. The eventual elimination of ...

Qaradawi Embraces Rt. Rev. Williams Call for Start of Sharia Law in Britain
2008-02-21 20:58:00 The basic, public premise of the Muslim Brotherhood's strategy for the conquest of Europe hinges on creating Muslim enclaves that are exempt from national laws and under sharia law-then steadily expanding those areas. So it is not surprising the group headed by the Muslim Brotherhood's chief theologian would embrace the call from the Archbishop of Canterbury to actually implement such a plan. The International Union for Muslim Scholars, led by Yousef al-Qaradawi, laments the "fierce attacks" in Britain...(read more)
New sharia row over Chancellor's plans for 'Islamic bonds'
2008-02-19 11:38:00 Daily Mail - A new sharia law controversy erupted last night over Government plans to issue special "Islamic bonds" to pay for Gordon Brown's public-spending programme by raising money from the Middle East.Britain is to become the first Western nation to issue bonds approved by Muslim clerics in line with sharia law, which bans conventional loans involving interest payments as "sinful".The scheme would mark one of the most significant economic advances of sharia law in the non-Muslim world.The Government sees sharia-compliant bonds as a way of tapping Middle-East money and building bridges with the Muslim community.But critics say the scheme would waste money and could undermine Britain's financial and legal systems.Senior Conservative MP Edward Leigh, chairman of the Commons Public Accounts Committee, said: "I am concerned about the signal this would send – it could be the thin end of the wedge."British Common Law must be supreme and should apply to everyone."The attempt to emb...

Sharia Law
2008-02-13 12:59:00 Last spring, my husband and I were prophesied over. One of the things that was said to me was, "You have authority over that thing in Germany." I was confused and said, "my husband is German." This caused some laughter in the room. So, while the prophet continues to talk to me, but stare at my husband, I remembered what he was talking about.About a month before, I had heard that in Germany they were thinking about invoking Sharia law. This got me very upset. So upset that I began to pray and research, on line, any where that I could become involved with Christians against Sharia law. I failed to find that place. It is unusual for me to get angry at anything, so I knew my anger was righteous and from God. But, I felt helpless to do anything."You have authority over that thing in Germany". Since then, I pray. I take authority over the spreading of Sharia law and pray that others are doing the same. Today, I found a site that has a petition against Child executions in Iran. ...

If not, read up because that mentality has come to Great Britain. But in Great Britain, they aren’t even seeing a government official, they are going to sharia courts: Youth worker Aydarus Yusuf, 29, who was involved in setting up the hearing, said a group of Somali youths were arrested by police on suspicion of stabbing another Somali teenager. The victim’s family told officers the matter would be settled out of court and the suspects were released on bail. A hearing was convened and elders ordered the assailants to compensate the victim. “All their uncles and their fathers were there,” said Mr Yusuf. “So they all put something towards that and apologised for the wrongdoing.” An Islamic Council in Leyton also revealed that it had dealt with more than 7,000 divorces while sharia courts ...

Archbishop Rowan Williams Backs Sharia Law in the UK
2008-02-09 09:19:00 Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has come out in support of the introduction of sharia law in the UK. He claims that adopting aspects of sharia appears "unavoidable".Williams contends that since some Muslims don't relate to the British legal system, giving recognition to sharia would help to achieve 'social cohesion'.This shouldn't be a surprise coming from Williams. If any Archbishop of Canterbury of recent years fits the Monty Python mold it is Rowan Williams. He comes across as an eccentric and intellectually detached individual, who bends over backwards to be accommodating if he decides it's the 'Christian thing to do'.In this case it is absolutely the wrong thing to do.When Muslims made the decision to emigrate to the UK, they were fully aware that they were going to be making a new life in a Western nation where law, developed through parliament and the courts, reflects the secular and progressive tendencies of the society at large. When they become citizen...
