First official Sharia Court opens in the UK

So what happens when one Muslim wants to abide by the Sharia court but the the other wants to abide by British Law? At some point this will happen…we know the inevitability of what comes next.  The Dhimmi’s in the UK have let the multiculturalism get so out of hand, that it will be too late to do anything about it, unless something very radical and most likely inhumane is done.

The Islamization of the multiculturalist capital of the world is a good example oh how a modern day Western society can be taken over by Islamists, going as far as changing the constitution, legitimizing Islamic courts, voting Muslim politicians into power and submitting to Islam once Islamic law has been established becuase, ya know, it’s “the will of the people” right?

Sharia courts now have the power of law in Britain:

Times Online

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.

Sharia law at Muslim college in Nuneaton

The head of a Muslim college in Warwickshire which houses the UK’s first official sharia law court has spoke of the advantages of using the ancient system.

Faisal Aqtab Siddiqi said despite misconceptions, the system would work with British law to solve disputes and could “enrich” the current legal system. Mr Siddiqi is head of the Hijaz College Islamic University in Nuneaton- home of the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal (MAT).

The tribunal, formed last year, offers ways for the Muslim community to resolve disputes in accordance with the sacred laws.

Mr Siddiqi said it was not the same as unofficial sharia courts reported to be operation across the country.

He said the system, part of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) introduced in reforms of the civil justice system, dealt with commercial, civil, and matrimonial matters and some instances of domestic violence and neighbourly disputes.

Oh, and just a reminder for those who aren’t taking this seriously…A Poll in Febuary 08 was taken by the Telegraph which showed over 40% of Muslims support some form os Islamic (Sharia) Law.

Poll reveals 40pc of Muslims want sharia law in UK

Four out of 10 British Muslims want sharia law introduced into parts of the country, a survey reveals today.

The ICM opinion poll also indicates that a fifth have sympathy with the “feelings and motives” of the suicide bombers who attacked London last July 7, killing 52 people, although 99 per cent thought the bombers were wrong to carry out the atrocity.

Overall, the findings depict a Muslim community becoming more radical and feeling more alienated from mainstream society, even though 91 per cent still say they feel loyal to Britain.

The results of the poll, conducted for the Sunday Telegraph, came as thousands of Muslims staged a fresh protest in London yesterday against the publication of cartoons of Mohammed. In Libya, at least 10 people died in protests linked to the caricatures.

And in Pakistan, a cleric was reported to have put a $1 million (£575,000) bounty on the head of the Danish cartoonist who drew the original pictures.

And this also in Febuary…

Sharia law already enforced in 10 courts

The extent to which sharia law already operates in Britain was the subject of concern yesterday after it emerged that at least 10 Islamic “courts” are sitting across the country.

The existence of the courts, in towns and cities including London and Birmingham, heightened anxiety following the Archbishop of Canterbury’s remarks that the introduction of some elements of Islamic law was “unavoidable”.

The majority of cases heard in the courts involve divorce or financial disputes, but one reported case involved a gang of Somali youths who were allowed to go free after paying compensation to a teenager they had stabbed.

Extremists were said to have used the spread of sharia courts to justify calls for Islamic law to be adopted “wholesale” for Muslims living in Britain.

    Just as there were many elite European people and governments willing to strike deals with Nazism, European Marxist Socialists today are forming alliances with Totalitarian Islam. Islamic Sharia Law is Totalitarianism.

    European leaders have a natural affinity for any form of government which derives its power without the consent of the governed – that is the link between European Marxist Socialism and Totalitarian Islamic Sharia Law.

    Unjust government power without the consent of the governed – government of the elite, by the elite and for the elite. This sharing of un-American tyranny explains the anti-Americanism of both European Socialists and Islamists; and it also explains their newly forming anti-American alliance. The only difference between European Marxist Socialism and Islamic Sharia is that the former is government of the secular elite, by the secular elite and for the secular elite; whereas Islamic Sharia is government of the Islamic elite, for the Islamic elite and for the Islamic elite.

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”  Thomas Jefferson

    Looking at these articles day after day, and especially today (9/11) watching the World Trade Center towers go down again and again, I am angry.  I want someone to pay.  I want Mecca GONE.  I want muslims GONE.  I want some arrogant craphead muslim to get in my face and just say one frickin’ word before I crush him.  Even unemotionally, I see how we have screwed ourselves into a corner by becoming dependent on foreign oil for our energy needs.  Then my anger is renewed by the realization that we ignored the warning of 1979 and 1980 (the oil crisis) and allowed our “leaders” to let us believe that everything would be alright….the ‘rabs just needed some “understanding” and more money.  Now we have another chance at it all.  We have McCain and Palin running against the “empty suit” and “The Celebrity”, His Glorious Obamaness.  The subject of “energy independence” is a campaign issue.  Other issues have also been brought up but actually pale in comparison to energy.  This is the CENTRAL ISSUE.  Without the huge money generated by oil sales, the muslims would be nothing but desert sheep lovers and camel riders with a weirdass religion.  Muslims finance the worldwide terrorism with oil and opium money.  The first step, while slaughtering as many muslin lunatics as possible, is energy independence for America. The next step is making a decision about whether or not to allow control of oil reserves to remain in the hands of those who wittingly or are forced to support terrorism.  That’s coming next.  Will islam survive that?  Realistically, who cares? If I was them, I’d sure take a good look at whether I’d want to convert or be wiped out.  It’s a pretty stupid way to live anyway.  America Akbar!!

    If we begin off-shore drilling, it will show Islam that we will not bow down to their anti-Israel, anti-freedom, anti-American crap. Then, we stop supplying them with money because we no longer need their oil- they can split it with Europe. The economy would be the strongest it’s ever been and America will prosper, Islam will decline. So what if the liberals don’t like it, we’ve been listening to their ignorance for too long- Look where it’s got us!
    And in regards to the 10 Sharia courts- one could say that Britain’s “chickens have came home to roost”. Intelligent Brits need to get a gun and stand up against Islam- whatever means necessary.
    Tonto- Amen Brother!

    I think it’s time to go buy some handguns and a few rifles. I live in Idaho and we hunt here, but we haven’t owned guns for 25 years. But it seems that it is probably time. Before they try to take our rights away and make slaves of us.
    I agree with Tonto…if there were no Mecca, no Medina, then what would happen to Islam. If these people set off a dirty bomb or suitcase nuke here, we should destroy those places totally until they are just a glowing pile of rubble. Too late for the Brits. They have surrendered and given their country and their liberties away. Europe is lost.  We must learn from what we see happening there and NEVER give up.

    PS…I think they just want to be able to bury or behead their daughters for wanting to have freedom without any consequences.
