SHARI’AH LAW MARCH IN LONDON THIS SATURDAY

News by HOMOVISION on October 26, 2009 at 11:19 am

A march is to take place in London on Saturday 31st October demanding Shari’ah law be implemented in Britain.

Organised by Islam4UK – an offshoot of the banned Al Muhajiroun group – the march will begin at Parliament, pass through Whitehall and end at Trafalgar Square.

According to the Islam4UK website, the group are demanding the full implementation of Shari’ah law into British legislature.

Shari’ah law forbids homosexuality and states that it is punishable by stoning to death. However, Anjem Choudary of Islam4UK and self-titled Judge of the Shari’ah Court of the UK and Principal lecturer at the London School of Shari’ah, states that he has never called for the stoning of any homosexual in the UK. He adds that the Muslim community in the UK live under a Covenant of Security, prohibiting the violation of the life and property of any individual, Muslim or non-Muslim.

Choudary claims that if any individual were to publicly aggress against any of the laws stipulated in the Shari’ah, under the UK Islamic State he would be subject to punishment following “appropriate court procedures”.

A spokesman for the Islamic Society of Britain said: “99.999 per cent of Muslims despise these people. This only serves to fuel racial tensions.”

Although, careful. The 'Confessions of a British Spy' are not without controversy.

Leftgay - though your comment is commendable, I take issue with your line that you were 'born Muslim'.

You cannot be 'born Muslim' any more than you can be 'born Bhuddist'. Islam is thrust upon you from birth by your family. You can wake up any day, any day at all, and decide you no longer identify as a Muslim, though I appreciate it wouldn't be that easy if you've been indoctrinated since birth.

I know that the majority of Muslims do not side with these nutters, but the Islamic religion, much like Christianity, does not approve of homosexuality, and the fact that practionioners of both religious have to do contextual cartwheels and tie themselves in knots in order to reinterpret certain lines from the Bible or Koran in vain attempts to disprove this seems to be basic proof that religion has no place at all in public life.

Thank you for your intelligence.
The fact that this march is organised on Halloween is not without significance.

As someone who was born muslim it is widely taught that you have to live under and respect the laws of that country, there is even a quran quote to that effect (can't find it now)

Shariah law is not mentioned in the quran. It is a political tool that was constructed from flimsy hadiths and is used to today as gospel by far right wahabist sunni muslims.

Wahabbism or salafism as a movement is actually only about 100 years old. Through the british funded house of saud, the classical aspects of islam (including itjihad - the practice of quranic re-interpretation) are now defunct and anti intellectualism and right wing traditionalism is now mainstream.

For more information on this I suggest everyone read this article:

There will likely be counter protests by far right groups, whos purpose is to demonise all muslims. Please don't side with them fully. Know the full story, stay on the ball.
