Londonistan, Continued
Here’s more scary news from our closest allies on the other side of the pond:
Islamic sharia law is gaining an increasing foothold in parts of Britain, a report claims.
Sharia, derived from several sources including the Koran, is applied to varying degrees in predominantly Muslim countries but it has no binding status in Britain.
The Koran is one of the sources that Sharia derives from.
However, the BBC Radio 4 programme Law in Action produced evidence yesterday that it was being used by some Muslims as an alternative to English criminal law. Aydarus Yusuf, 29, a youth worker from Somalia, recalled a stabbing case that was decided by an unofficial Somali “court” sitting in Woolwich, south-east London.
Mr Yusuf said a group of Somali youths were arrested on suspicion of stabbing another Somali teenager. The victim’s family told the police it would be settled out of court and the suspects were released on bail.
There’s a stabbing, and the police let the people “work it out themselves”? It seems to me that’s what led to the stabbing in the first place.
Sharia’s great strength was the effectiveness of its penalties, he said. Those who appeared before religious courts would avoid re-offending so as not to bring shame on their families.
Hey, that’s true! All those women in that soccer stadium in Afghanistan never “brought shame on their families” again, now did they? And neither did those “whores” in Germany; regular pillars of community virtue, they are now.
Faizul Aqtab Siddiqi, a barrister and principal of Hijaz College Islamic University, near Nuneaton, Warwicks, said this type of court had advantages for Muslims.(No shit! Really?) “It operates on a low budget, it operates on very small timescales and the process and the laws of evidence are far more lenient and it’s less awesome an environment than the English courts,” he said.
Ah yes, those lenient laws of evidence.
England needs to decide very quickly if it wants to remain an independent country. People who move there must adopt English rules and laws, or it’s all over folks.

Oh, I think that’s fair and balanced. Like in Pakistan, where a rape ‘victim’ has to round up four males to back up her story or SHE gets prosecuted for adultery! That’ll keep those catmeat tramps covered up and in the house, I tell ya!
