Sharia's Inroads Around the World

[dbackjon]

Pakistan recently gave in to the pressure of Islamist militants. Indeed to buy off peace, Pakistani authorities allowed the imposition of Sharia (Islamic law) in the Swat valley.

How long the cease-fire will last is anyone's guess. But in any case, Pakistan has allowed a precedent that could extend to other provinces; in fact the Swat valley is only about 100 miles away from Islamabad, the capital. But Sharia is not just making inroads in Pakistan but actually creeping in the West and in particular in Europe.


One area particularly touched by this phenomenon is the judicial system in Europe. Two recent cases in Italy and France are particularly troublesome. First, in Italy, three members of a Brescia-based Maghrebi family (father, mother and eldest son) were accused of beating up and sequestering their daughter/sister Fatima because she wanted to live a "Western" life.

But the United Kingdom is a different story, indeed there close to 40 percent of young Muslims are in favor of Sharia law being implemented in Britain. The idea seems to be also making headway among non-Muslims. So, last year, Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, gave his support for the courts in Britain, saying that the legal recognition of them "seems unavoidable." He added, the United Kingdom has to "face up to the fact" that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.


Williams argued that adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion. For example, Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt within a Sharia court.


But contrary to what Williams advanced, Sadiq Khan, a British Muslim MP said that Sharia courts would discourage Muslims from developing links with other cultural and ethnic groups. He feared also that women could be "abused" by Sharia courts, which may give unequal bargaining power to the sexes.

Very troubling development - especially in Europe, where certain countries seem to be surrendering to Islam...

Yeah, this is troubling. Though, I will just switch my religion to "The Force" and say only the Jedi Council can hear my case.

This is ridiculous, and just shows how spineless some people are. If they want to live under a different legal system they need to move to a country with Sharia law. If they choose to stay in Britain, British law it is.

Yep....nothing to see here....no threat to anyone....peaceloving people....move along....

There was a deal a while back where Muslim taxi drivers in the Twin Cities would not take on fares that carried alcohol. As far as I know the Metropolitan Airport Commission started suspending licenses of drivers that did not pick up fares that had purchases alcohol.

what do you call bringing troops out of a war without a victory?

And how would you achieve victory? We won the military battle. At some point, unless you want to permanently station American Troops there, we have to end the occupation.


What are we accomplishing there now?

SEE KOREA......that's what we are in for...and it's a good thing.....a Combat Division in a permanent base in that country is a given IMHO.

i would prefer "the late united states" end the occupation of the Confederate States first

[dbackjon]

And how many troops do you think would be needed to occupy Iraq, Korean style?

You just lost every ounce of credibility you had left there citdog. FUCK.

[citdog]

And how many troops do you think would be needed to occupy Iraq, Korean style?

it could be done with as little as 25,000 Combat Arms with the Combat Service Support component of about the same number.

He's planning on leaving 50k....which is a draw down of troops.....which pretty much blows a hole in your theory....(no wonder we're in a quagmire...these El Dic fokkers can't even count).....

Isn't this the same failed theory that was applied to Hitler?
