Sharia law to be enforced in section of the U.K.?

    Saw this earlier, sounds like crazy stuff, also, is that Paul Scholes with a beard?

    And yeah, I know, it's from the Daily Star, a bastion of superb journalism.
    http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/200213/Sharia-law-hits-the-UK/
    HARDCORE Islamists have vowed to ban booze and mixing between the sexes in new Sharia law enforcement zones across the UK.

    The move will see specific areas flooded with thousands of stickers saying “no gambling”, “no music or concerts”, “no porn or prostitution” and “no drugs or smoking”.


    The posters declare: “You are entering a Sharia controlled zone – Islamic rules enforced.”


    The radicals will kick off their controlled zones in the London borough of Waltham Forest later this month.


    They also claim their hardline rules will be policed by thousands of “Sharia cops” on the streets.


    Preacher Anjem Choudary has called the scheme an alternative to government attempts to combat violent extremism under the Prevent strategy.


    Last night the former al-Muhajiroun and Islam4UK leader warned: “The Prevent strategy introduced by Theresa May is going to be countered in the next couple of weeks beginning in Waltham Forest where there will be a Sharia- controlled zone sticker campaign.


    “This will mean this is an area where the Muslim community will not tolerate drugs, alcohol, pornography, gambling, usury, free mixing between the sexes – the fruits if you like of Western civilisation.


    “This will be a very heavy leafleting campaign aimed at both the Muslim and non-Muslim community in terms of what the Sharia means economically, socially and politically.


    “Waltham Forest, including Walthamstow and Leyton, will also be targeted with a march.


    “We want to run the area as a Sharia-controlled zone and really to put the seeds down for an Islamic Emirate in the long term.


    “We want to create an area where Muslims can live together, make transactions with each other, and interact between themselves rather than with the wider community.”


    The ex-lawyer added: “There are 25 areas around the country which the Government has earmarked as areas where violent extremism is a problem.


    “We are going to go to all these same areas and implement our own Sharia-controlled zones.


    “This is the best way for dealing with drunkenness and loutishness, prostitution and the sort of thug life attitude you get in British cities.


    “We live among the non-Muslims but we have to distinguish ourselves from them.”


    In May we told how Choudary had announced plans to set up teams of Islamic “Guardian Angels” to help implement Sharia law across the UK. He reckoned the “Sharia cops” would do a better job of policing Muslim areas than traditional officers.


    Choudary said: “We now have hundreds if not thousands of people up and down the country willing to go out and patrol the streets for us and a print run of between 10,000 and 50,000 stickers ready for distribution.”


    Last night Jamaal Uddin, 17, was pictured putting up Sharia controlled zone stickers in Walthamstow.


    The Muslims Against Crusades member, who said he “embraced Islam” 11 months ago said: “Allah has told us alcohol, drugs, pornography, music and concerts are all forbidden under Islam.


    “That is why it is our duty to go out and spread his word among Muslims and the wider community.”

    ****e law...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,095 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    So basically a bunch of religious nuts will try to use their own laws in some places and will have vigilantes out in force to make sure everyone complies, regardless of their own religious beliefs.

    This will only end in violence and sectarianism. Probably inspire muslim extremist to commit acts of terrorism in the UK too.

    I'd happily knock the shit out of those people if they tried to impose that crap on me and mine.

    It's probably a BNP ruse, hoping that many immigrants will leave the country.

    Yeah, but the real police will just come along to put a stop to it, I would hope.

    If it's actually happening, rightly or wrongly, why wouldn't they publish the story?

    Looks like they've taken down the page from their site.

    They must have saw this thread and known we were on to them.

    It linked to the right article up to 5 mins ago. I can only imagine the rage any interested Muslims are flying into when they view it now.

    Yeah, but the real police will just come along to put a stop to it, I would hope.

    This is London and the Metropolitan Police, should this sort of situation actually arise they would probably be brought in to make sure no natives reacted to the new vigilante groups.

    Looks like the article has been taken down for the time being anyway.

    The PC nutjobs would have a field day branding you a racist though!

    I'm guessing that this sort of vigilantism is against sharia law.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    Sounds pretty crazy, and pretty illegal, if there's any truth to it.

    Also sounds like it's the brainchild of one fanatical convert, rather than in any way mainstream or representative:

    The Muslims Against Crusades member, who said he “embraced Islam” 11 months ago ...

    First rule of...anything really. Don't believe anything written in a British tabloid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,933 ✭✭✭Logical Fallacy


    Sure your man used to love the ****ing booze.

    Gotta hate it when people quit and get all preachy about it.

    There's a difference between knocking the **** out of someone for trying to impose a way of life onto you, and declaring that you'd happily knock the **** out of someone for doing something of the sort as soon as the topic is raised on a thread. Especially when it's probably a bull**** story about something that will not happen, and applies to a suburb of a city in country that the poster doesn't live in. Unless he does live there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ where he lives :D.

    Just to point out, I don't have any problem with Chuck Stone or what he said. Just defending pc nutjobs.

    I see nothing but trouble ahead for the auld UK if they dont take serious measures for stuff like this. Funnily enough the Archbishop of Canterbury was in favour of adopting some aspects of sharia law a few years ago.

    They can say what they like.

    I just think we need to be a little less tolerant of these cretins who want to roll back hundreds of years of progress.

    The most unfortunate thing is that Britain has seen how ethnic tensions have risen so dramatically in France and yet seem very happy to amble along the same path. As has already been said, a divided, sectarian society awaits. And I don't mean just Britain, but much of Europe. Germany, Britain, Denmark, Holland, Belgium etc arent far behind the French. I've said it before and been derided, but my views don't change!
