Yet the laws of the land have no reference to any religion, and are made by people as they go, not by God or religious authorities.

So?

No Dem gets elected without the support of the Far Left Loonies, who not only are anti-religion, but so wrapped up in themselves that they are certain of their righteousness, rightness, and (heavens help us) their INTELLIGENCE .

Does this make the US a Far Left Loony-Tunes nation?

So you would rather be apart of a political party that wants to remove peoples freedom of choice, religion,etc , and a party that has a lot of support from racists, than to be a narcissist without a religion?

That makes perfect sense.

Looks more like you'll get an 'retirement home meets slightly crooked he-woman' thingy in a bit

That part of my earlier post was meant to lighten things up a bit but it seems ppl. are awful sensitive about it.

It would make sense to anyone who has a one-dimensional way of thinking.

Why on earth would you think that since I call the far left a bunch of loony tunes, that makes me in any sense a republican?

How does the UK allowing Sharia Law to be used in specific arbitration courts turn into a "my right wing party is better than yours"? Calm down peeps and keep this on track.

About the Malaysian example I posted.

Apparently in Malaysia, Muslims alone are supposed to be covered under Shairiat. The woman contested in the civil court. The Shairiat based on some notice to it, ruled that all women married to a Moslem are Moslems, even though this woman was a practicing hindu. The civil court had to take the line of the Shairiat court.

Sounds a lot like pressure group to me.

So there it is then. In a sharia type system, a woman doesn't really have much say in anything. So lets look at this example: If a muslim woman would like to complain about being raped, I am sure the sharia court will not rule in her favor. Thus, this system has already gone against the laws in Britain. The sharia court will most likely not adhere to any British laws, and just do as it pleases, and instead of placing any judgment on the offender, the victim will be considered the offender and the man who raped said person gets off scott free.

Now consider this.. I have heard reports about 'honor' killings in Britain, and now what would happen if sharia is allowed? Well then, I am sure honor killings would increase, and the British authorities would probably not be able to do much about it, why? Because they can just hide behind their sharia system, and claim discrimination if someone 'outside' tries to intervene on the behalf of the victim. I can already see a lot of ways that British law can be skirted if this wretched system is introduced. And if they complain about Beth Din, fine, remove Beth Din too, and let everyone be subject to British law, if they don't like it, well then 'bugger off!'

I don't believe that ANY group should be treated special. You want equality? Then make everybody subject to the same laws, and no special considerations for anyone..period!

It would be interesting to know why suddenly this is important in England. I believe it has got to do with the voice of the moderate muslims. This helps them in their fight against the redicals. I mean it shows that they are influencing policy "moderately". It was probably a deal. Similar things have been tried earlier. Fat lot of good it did Al-Fatah (moderates !) in Palestine. Hamas the radicals win the eelctions.

Next (in England), you will probably get a statement from a moderate group saying you cant call terrorists as such. You must call them militants. Reason : The moderate spokespersons are shit scared for their lives and property.

A factoid from Kashmir. About theree years back, the Hurriyat (pro secession from India forum for the terrorists) was split between radicals and moderates who wantred to start dialogue with the elected government (of Indian Kashmir). These moderates were sons of assasinated leaders who had dared to talk (just talk) of defying the militant's diktat. I mean Umar Farooq and Lone.

How did the terrorists react. Burnt Umar Farooq's house. He got in line.

All this is based on publications in mainstream newspapers and verifiable.

Obviously politicians can't read

You can't get rid of fanatics by giving moderates a handout because as stated above the moderates are probably more scared than anybody else.

Are they going to handover Salman Rushdie to the Iranian goverment or execute him themselves?

the white side of britain (of which I am part), have got no religion anymore and no morals.

basically, white men are allowing their white women do whatever the hell they like. as a result,the kids are running riot in the streets, and society has broken down. thats a fact.

father has not told mother, that sitting playing internet bingo all night is unacceptable, and as a result, little jonny is unwashed and fed microwavable meals. he also feels unloved. so in frustration, he goes out and hits someone.

on the muslim side however, the men have got their women under control through islam, and the kids are generally well behaved, washed, put to bed at a reasonable time, and go to school, and grow up to be doctors.

its the whites that have got it wrong.

maybe its time that islam did take over britain, because we whites aint doing such a great job are we.

or we could introduce christianity back into the white population.

we're in Iraq killing 100,000 people to get their oil, so that we can make more luxury items that satisfy womens material 'needs'.

Ive got news for you, you will NEVER satisfy womens material needs. NEVER. they will always want more and more and more. how many pairs of shoes do you own? how many pairs of shoes does your wife/girlfriend own? so here we are, killing Iraqi children, so that our women can live even more decadent lifestyles. it makes me sick.

people bash me for my views on women and religion, but take a look at britian in 2008, its absolutely obvious why this is happening.

religion is not 'the problem'. women are 'the problem'. religion can and does deal with 'the problem' quite sucessfully.
