We are in a Religious Freedom War versus Sharia Law Bondage!

Unfortunately, most citizens of what is referred to as “The West,” are not aware of the seriousness of the war in which we are now involved, and believe it will eventually, like all previous wars, simply fade away, or remain eternally confined to the Middle East.
It cannot, and it will not, follow either one of these options. It must eventually culminate in the battle of Armageddon in Israel some three and one-half years after she is attacked by a coalition of 10 Islamic nations. If that were not the case, Islam would not rest until all the nations on the surface of planet earth were under Sharia Law.
In Imami-Shi’i law, the sources of law (usul al-fiqh) are the Qur’an, anecdotes of Muhammad’s practices and those of the 12 Imams, and the intellect (aql). The practices called Sharia today, however, also have roots in local customs (Al-urf).
The recent harsh criticism of the President of Iran for kissing the gloved hand of his old teacher was an example of Sharia Law. The first article from the Jerusalem Center for Public Information Daily Alert, which follows, discusses the objections of the Iranian Foreign Minister to a revealing red dress worn by a woman at the conference, and is typical of the reactions of a follower of Sharia Law.
The second article, from the UK Daily Express, describes the problems England is facing with its ever increasing Islamic population.

Iranian Minister Avoids Dinner with Secretary of State Rice
May 4, 2007
Iran’s foreign minister abruptly left a dinner where he was to sit opposite U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, complaining that a red dress worn by an entertainer was too revealing, a U.S. official said on Friday.
Expectations had been high that Rice might use a dinner held on the sidelines of an Iraq conference in Egypt on Thursday to get to know Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, but instead the foreign minister left as guests were being seated.
“I am not sure which woman he was afraid of, the woman in the red dress or the secretary of state,” said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack. (Reuters)

WE CANNOT SIT BACK AND LET SHARIA LAW TAKE ROOT IN BRITAIN

THE wail of the mosque is signaling the end of traditional British justice.
For centuries, the principle of equality before the law for all citizens has been at the heart of our society.
It has been one of the cornerstones of our liberty, stretching back to the time of Magna Now, thanks to the pernicious doctrine of multi-¬culturalism, it is under attack as never before.

But perhaps the most dramatic indicator of this process comes from the West Yorkshire town of Dewsbury, where Muslim elders have decided to set up their own Islamic court to impose Sharia law in civil disputes within their communities.
Crucial issues such as divorce and child custody are settled by a panel of four senior Muslim clerics and The age-old British attachment to trial by jury or by magistrates is scholars. at risk from an utterly alien Islamic code imported from regions far less civilized and democratic than our own.
Effectively, the integ¬rity of British law has been eclipsed in parts of Dewsbury by quasi-judicial religious In this once proud Yorkshire mill town, there are now two legal zealotry. systems in operation for civil matters, one for Muslims and one for the rest of This is a recipe for more division in a place already notorious the population. for its links to fanatical Islam. Dewsbury was, after all, the home town of Mohammed Siddique Khan, the leader of the July 7 suicide bombers.

The dogma of cultural diversity has encouraged ethnic minority groups to cling But the self-styled to their own traditions rather than embrace Britain’s.

Well, if they really think Sharia law is better than our own, why don’t they go and live in some brutal theocracy such as Saudi Arabia rather than It is sickening that they want trying to destroy the judicial fabric of Britain? enjoying the fruits of our prosperous society while to have it both ways: demanding that their superstitious, barbaric, mis¬ogynistic ideology be given official legal status.

A wife mistreated oppression of women, treating them as second-class citizens. or beaten by her spouse is hardly likely to receive much justice from the bearded patriarchs of an Islamic court, for whom anti-female discrimination is part of their theology.
It is telling that when there was a proposal to introduce Sharia law for Muslims in Ontario, Canada, the most vociferous opposition came from female Muslim immigrants who had fled from states such as “I came here to escape Sharia law,” said one Iranian exile.
Thankfully, even in But Britain under Blair politically correct Canada, the proposition was quashed.

And the scope of the Muslim neighbourhoods will start to impose Islamic rules. Sharia judges will be expanded far beyond mere matrimonial and child custody disputes.
This could be just the first step towards the creation of localised Taliban regimes in Muslim areas of British cities, enforcing their own distorted moral codes, clamping down on alcohol, imposing new forms of censorship, promoting anti-western attitudes and peddling yet more grievances against the British state.
Lurking in the background is the threat of terrorism if MJ Akbar, a Muslim scholar, recently demands for special treatment are not met. made this menacing comment on any attempt to resist Sharia law: “A Muslim does not have to live in a Muslim state but he must have the right to live by his If that is denied then he is in Dar al Harb or the House of War and divine law. jihad becomes obligatory upon him.”
Muslims continually bleat about so-called “Islamophobia” but the isolation they experience from mainstream British society has bent over backwards to society is of their own making – accommodate Islam. We now have state-funded Muslim schools and Muslim-friendly mortgages. Mosques have been erected across Britain while, unlike in France, the hijab headscarf is allowed in schools.
