There are a lot of Islamic groups in the UK who put up posters in streets saying this is a "Sharia Law" controlled areas and offenders will be punished.

How can they possibly expect British people to abide to this and expect people to adhere to this in their own country?

what do you think of a guy who drugged and raped his long distance gf who flew over to see him ?

Thanks Fred. (This problem with AB is so frustrating!).

In that case, I'll stick to my last answer.

The signs are erected by religious zealots who think they can act as judge, jury and executioner. Clearly, they have no legal standing whatsoever. However, the message from the makers and distributors of the signs is crystal clear – Sharia is the preferred method of law enforcement in the UK.

It's a very short step from posters on telegraph poles to mob rule and vigilantism. Even though so called 'Sharia controlled areas' are legally illegitimate, the posters promote the idea that they are legitimate and as such send a very dangerous message to impressionable people. They imply that it is legitimate to create areas where the host country's rule of law can be either circumvented or entirely overruled.

Sharia law eh? Great if you happen to own a pair of testicles and worship Allah. Pretty poor if you fail to meet one of those criteria and even worse if your fail to meet them both.

as I posted on another thread, parts of East London have the posters up and gangs patrolling the streets, old bill nowhere to be seen.

the story linked to was 15 months old. How are they doing so far?

Their "hundreds if not thousands of people" seem entirely self-counted. So far one person has been found putting up posters.

I'm not scared.

jno, I'm not scared living where I am but when I worked in Limehouse some of the locals were concerned, no one was caught putting up posters because no coppers walked the streets. You don't see much roaring down the A13 with flashing lights going.

Bigamy is against the law in Britain, yet Muslims are allowed two wives, which the tax payers have to fork out for, and their myriad children with child benefits. There is no end to their benefits living in this country.

Muslims cannot marry two wives in this country. Are there not restrictions on how many wives they can bring in to be supported by the state?

FredPuli43

The answer to my question above is that a Muslim man with more than one wife cannot obtain a visa for the second wife to enter Britain.

Fred,

Muslim men who have married more than one woman abroad are able to
get around the law.

This was a non starter, local people and others pulled the signs down and no-one took the slightest bit of notice, and the people who had put them up looked absurd. To my knowledge it hasn't been tried since.
