Islam only exists as a religion because of people who believe in it- you believe in it and are defending it, including chopping off people's hands for shoplifting, don't get excited when people then point such facts out.

If you feel humiliated I can offer no explanation, perhaps a time for reflection on your belief system brother?

The notion that 100% of the Muslims in the UK think this punishment is better than our own laws doesnt worry you? That 40% of young Muslims would actually like the laws of the UK to be changed, when remembering that these young Muslims will father the future generation of the fastest growing minority in the UK? Remember that these people are walking around thinking that beheading, limb removal etc is justice for crimes we punish through the courts by fines and imprisonment.

Personally i think our system is a much more peaceful and less violent way of dealing with crime. Maybe i am delusional.

Why should it worry anyone? Muslims are not forcing anything onto the British population!Wouldnt you like all Muslims to become like you? Muslims are walking around thinking Sharia law is fair but they don’t go around chopping people up. So stop making things sound so extreme!

Muslims personally also think and know what they like and prefer, so please learn to respect their views?

But you're the one who brought up Bush into the discussion. And now you've brought up "KILL ALL JEWS" into the discussion as well. What is your purpose in this thread?

You seem to be surpressing debate ( or maybe you are just not keeping up with discussions?)


BUsh was mentioned as many muslims like to call him a warmonger- I merely point out the irony that they follow muhammad who fought many more wars

The fellow odium was saying a threat is only valid if you can kill every single person it relates to- hence my ridiculing that someone saying "KILL ALL JEWS" at a rally would not be prosectued because he obviously could not physically kill all Jews

Happy to help you with any other enquiries

blueorder - they were arrested on charges of incitement to cause violence, soliciting the murder of those who insulted Islam but not threatening behaviour.

I also do believe, they did not go to prison on the charge. I can't remember it isn't directly the field of law I deal with. But they were not charged with threatening behavious.

Sad thing was, the chairman of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee said the protesters "did not represent British Muslims".

You do realise that threatening someone and incitement are different things?

Again, I am waiting on this list that shows Mohammed having been at war for a larger period of time as a leader then Bush.

Heyho again, Grenade! Just addressing some points made:

Women can be divorced merely by their husbands reciting "I divorce you" three times, their testimony is worth less than that of men and they cannot marry a non-Muslim man - although it is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim woman.

Just something to note, the whole 'saying "I divorce you" thing' is an abuse of Islamic law. Islam says that a married couple can divorce and still get back together later on, unless they marry and divorce, and marry and divorce and marry and divorce (three times). This is why some people try to divorce completely by saying "I divorce you" 3 times. Problem is, it doesn't work like that.
Another point: I'm not sure why the focus is on "Muslim men can divorce their wives so easily!". Muslim women are also allowed to divorce their husbands. Of course, the whole practice of divorce is kept as a last resort.

To cut off a hungry mans hand for stealing a loaf of bread in todays world. Come on man, is there really that much of a bread shortage in Islamic countries? And these extreme punishments dont seem to stop or deter rape and murder in Muslim countries? Or else women wouldnt be punished for being raped?

Another misconception: That the automatic punishment for theft is cutting off of hands. This scenario you outlined already happened during the time of Muhammad. Guess what was done? He was let off, and given food by Muhammad. The cutting off of hands is done only as a last resort, when other reforms have failed. As for the second point, let me assure you, there is no such law or ruling in Islam to punish a person who got raped.

Erm incitement to violence is threatening behaviour, never in all my puff, you can only get arrested for inciting violence if you get involved in threatening behaviour- I mean a perfect example of "threatening" behaviour would be standing in public with a placard calling for people to be beheaded


Several were jailed


I don't care what the "Muslim Public Affairs Committe" said, I have no idea that the 40%+ Sharia supporters at the very least "understood" such behaviour, regardless of the waffle these committees come off with


You can wait all you want, no one has yet answered how many battles Muhammad has fought, nor can anyone answer me why bush is a warmonger and muhammad a bringer of peace

Grenade, like I said, many of those weren't even battles, and many weren't with Muhammad involved. Also, I don't see how you can say Muhammad was at war for 10 years. He was in Medinah for the last 10 years of his life, and he was definitely not at war for all that time. At least the discussion is coming back to Muhammad now. It is all moving so fast, and so far off tangent.

the point is he was involved and actively led several battles, so ironic that he is proclaimed as the dude of peace while Bush is a warmonger- lovely touch I feel

good so people died in battles led by muhammad - prince of peace ha ha

Much less than the total casualties on both side of all Bush-led wars, which you brought up

All the battles were defensive!If someone attacked you, what would you do? I am sure you are not gona stand and watch and say matey please have mercy on me while hes about to stab you? Or are you?

Yeah, the muslims didnt have AK47s and bombs back then, just as well eh!

My point was criticise Bush all you want and call him a warmonger, but dont be surprised when people laugh at the notion of muhammad being a bringer of peace (the same people also call Bush a warmonger)

BUSH & MUHAMMAD- both warmongers
