I just stumbled upon stuff about this on the Internet and don't know very much.
I am aware that there is alot of people from the UK here though.
Apparently there are now places in London that are under sharia law and the London police don't have any power there.
Does anyone know what is going on or what that means?
I am confused how there can be sections in a city under a different set of laws then everyone else or how that is like...allowed.
I dunno.
I would like to see if anyone can expand upon this or explain, and what your views on it are.
This could all be like...an over-exaggeration of what is actually happening or just a lie, the people I saw talking about it and the links I found seemed kinda biased, but still...

lol, its a bunch of crap mate. Mostly fear mongering.

look up the hashtag #creepingsharia (just for giggles).


Most of the stuff they claim to be racism of the hilarious bunch of BS known as "islamification" is exaggeration, misrepresentation or just blatant unmitigated nonsense and lies. Don't pay any attention to the fear inducing racist propaganda, UKIP and the EDL is just like the american Tea party. Just with even more white trash

that is kinda what it felt like.

is there any merit to it at all though?
I saw someone in the comments of this particular thing ask if this is an actual thing or if the people just put up signs and stuff saying it is under sharia law and try to enforce it themselves.

Probably just some photoshop trickery....or some people playing games trying to stir up some shizzle..people fear what they don't understand, and will propagate increased fear....often it's ignorant racists trying to get everyone worked up against muslims....I've met several muslims and they're quite friendly...

No developed nation would allow such zones to occur as it would undermine the government's authority

in all honesty there is as much merit to islamification as the Irish catholics taking over, or the Church of England reinstating full control into the monarchy.

I mean if you want to talk about "muslim censorship" theres a story and I'll link it to the bottom of this post of the EDL ( which is a bunch of british white trash, angry fascist victim playing knob heads) protesting outside a mosque wanting it torn down or something like that, you wanna know the "muslim censorship"? Some came out of the masjid with food to give to the protesters, making sure they were fed lol.

A good rule of thumb: believe none of what you hear, half of what you see, question everything and do the research.

The media has a bad habit of sensationalizing the negative and marginalizing the positive all in the interest of increased ratings...

As an aside, there is a lot that is not commonly understood about sharia law, it is a muslim code of social ethics and laws designed to promote fairness and protection to the less fortunate. Islam is above all else a practice of ethics, though some people choose to be either more 'fundamentalist' or more 'liberal', depending on whether they wish to take into account over 1000 years of societal change.

Unfortunately only the strong and brutish enforce the law so there are gangs of hard nuts running around beating people with a book here in the UK. we now also have separate courts to manage Sharia Law here in the UK where UK law dos not apply. ?

If i came to live in someones house and did not like the sofa i wouldn't change it, change can be painful and distinctive balance is unimposing : )

religion and law danger us mix ,
but we must be careful, not mistake the politically motivated translation of the word "Sharia Law" when it is the equivalent of the ten commandments from the bible, and relay means "the law (rules, guide, requirements of belonging ) of Sharia"

Lol, what exactly isn't religion and law? Define religion. In the US it is church and state not 'religion' and state, because you cannot separate the two, but you can stop religious organisations having direct, or part, control over government.

If one chooses to join a group called 'Muslims' then one has to obey the rules of that group. You can always leave that group if you don't like it, and that might be hard. But disagreements within TotJO are dealt with within TotJO. If TotJO was much larger and had several offline chapters and a disagreement arose between two people across the two chapters etc, then we would sort it out - unless as you observed it was specifically a legal matter.

You will have to be more specific about how exactly the decision between which court takes precedence etc applies in practice, otherwise this situation is exactly how it ought to be.

I was under the impression that the courts were run by Muslims in houses and religious buildings, not actually law courts held by the British justice system.

It won't let me have a blank signature ...
