Just breaking, one of the most senior judges in England says Sharia law should be practiced in the U.K. WTF is he thinking? Here’s a piece from the article:
Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips said that Islamic legal principles could be employed to deal with family and marital arguments and to regulate finance.
He declared: ‘It is possible in this country for those who are entering into a contractual agreement to agree that the agreement shall be governed by a law other than English law.’
In his speech in an East London mosque Lord Phillips signalled approval of sharia principles as a means of settling disputes so long as no punishments that conflict with the established law are involved, and as long as divorces are made to comply with the civil law.
Is he freakin’ kidding us? Creeping Sharia is already on its way, but now a top official in the high courts in Britain comes out with this excrement sandwich? The people of the U.K. should be completely outraged and call for his dismissal, or whatever means they use, from the court. What a sham. Here are some of the “delightful” points of Sharia Law and Muslims in the U.K.:
* Sharia law is based on the Koran, on associated teaching about the life of the Prophet Mohammed, and on the judgements of Islamic clerics and lawyers down the centuries.
* It is in essence a set of religious principles by which Muslims are required to live. Sharia is interpreted and enforced differently in different countries across the Islamic world.
* Islamic law is often regarded as having four parts: how Muslims should worship; commerce; crime and punishment; and marriage and divorce.
* Sharia says forbidden behaviour, like drinking alcohol and taking drugs, or adultery, should be punished. Islamic scholars say the Koran sets down punishments such as lashes or stoning for adultery.
* Sharia law also permits behaviour not allowed by English law, for example (sic) polygamy, which in some jurisdictions says men may have up to four wives.
* In Britain, sharia courts are often operated by mosques. Muslim families come to sharia courts for justice and agree to be bound by their rulings.
* They have no formal legal status.
* There are around 1.6 million British Muslims, most of whom are of Pakistani origin. The strongest Muslim communities are in London, especially in the East London borough of Tower Hamlets where Lord Phillips spoke yesterday, Birmingham, Yorkshire and Lancashire.
* Orthodox Jews operate Beth Din courts which are subordinate to the civil law and which decide issues among 180,000 people according to ancient Jewish law. They are regulated by the Chief Rabbi. A divorcing Jewish couple first divorce in the civil courts, then come to the Beth Din tribunals for religious judgement.
* The only religious courts in England with full and official legal status are the consistory courts and tribunals which decide disputes and disciplinary matters in the Church of England.
WWTBS (What would Tony Blair Say?)
Boy, is the West ever screwed if B. Hussein Obama gets elected.
I don’t even think I need to comment on the content of the article, as the picture says it all. And insomuch as the picture has nothing to do with the article, it’s just too significant not to share.
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.
Why?
“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week.
“She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldn’t do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals – including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum – who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation.
Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach – including Kennedy’s purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro.
It was an amazing interview, and I cannot believe (well, yes I can) that more media outlets have not picked up on this story. Unbelievable doesn’t begin to describe it. Yet believable it is.
Another small tome of Mr. Zeifman is “Hillary’s Pursuit of Power,” and it’s well worth the read. Please get your copies quick - they’re going fast, and not too many are available anymore.
You can watch/listen to the interview in three segments here, here and here.
A very good friend of mine, Marvin Levant, has been emailing me over the past couple of days. His son, Ezra Levant, an attorney in Canada, has been undergoing a series of hearings of the Alberta Human Rights Council; specifically before member Shirlene McGovern. His offense? Publishing the Mohammed cartoons in the magazine, the Western Standard. Here’s only one of the clips in the series he’s posting.
From Ezra’s site:
The hearings were actually in response to two complaints. The first was filed by a radical imam in Calgary, Syed Soharwardy, a tin-pot fascist who has publicly called for Canada to be ruled by sharia law. Soharwardy boasts of his studies in Pakistani madrassahs and his religious lectures in Saudi universities, and he’s bringing those Saudi and Pakistani values to Canada.
The second, almost identical, complaint was made by the Edmonton Muslim council. The chief difference between the two is that the Edmontonians cleaned up their spelling and grammar, and left out some of the nuttier sharia law arguments that are Soharwardy’s specialty.
The “human rights” officer asked me to answer the Edmonton complaint that these cartoons made life dangerous for Muslims, and ought to be banned for that reason.
Folks, I cannot tell you how foreboding this is for all the West to see/hear. Thank God Ezra has the courage to stand up to the PC police in Canada, but I hope this is a fight seen and heard around the world. We shall no subjugate, we shall not submit, and we will forever proudly remain infidels fighting against the creeping jihadism that is slowly trying to dominate the free world.
Do your part - share this story with every peace-loving infidel you know. Visit his YouTube page and watch all the videos.
On Real Time last night, Bill Maher had author Naomi Klein on to talk about her new book “Shock Doctrine,” which is about the evils of corporations, privativzation, and the free-market economy. She naturally has to bring in Blackwater as an evil of privatization. I’ll have another video piece later on Blackwater, but this piece with Naomi is too rich to miss. Crony capitalism, free-market ideology, corporatism, etc. Yes, all evil entities. And let’s not forget about the importance of “shared responsibility.” For those of you educated in government schools, that’s “income redistribution.”
I didn’t have time to transcribe this interview, but you can watch the video for yourself here.
My favorite political cartoonist, Michael Ramirez, depicts my feelings best.
But then again, he is in ‘good’ company, considering other winners have been Yasser Arafat and Jimmah Carter. The Nobel Peace Price has lost its purpose. I feel, as many do, that the U.S. Military men and women should have been the hands-down winner of the ‘peace prize.’ What does shilling for a scientific farce have to do with global peace? Sad… just very sad.
A couple of weeks ago, Neil Cavuto had student Barry Lucier of Roger Williams University on to talk about his recent experience in his college classes. Seems that Roger’s classes were changed up a bit, and one of his labs was switched with Owl Gore’s schlockumentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.” Now mind you, this lab/now-movie was required for passing the class, but since Barry wasn’t buying in to the whole global warming crap, he asked for an opposing film to be shown as well to offer some balance. What do you think his professor’s answer was? You guessed it! I’ll let you watch and hear him tell the story himself.

These idiot professors need to be held accountable, and soon some day, perhaps parents will be outraged enough to take it to the highest levels of academia to get more academic freedom. Heck, if you think Barry had it bad, some kids in Canada were forced to watch it FOUR times in different classes. If this isn’t liberal indoctrination, I don’t know what is. And these are captive audiences; not even close to a level playing field for any of them.
You are a Freedom Crusader, also known as a neoconservative. You believe in taking the fight directly to the enemy, whether it’s terrorists abroad or the liberal terrorist appeasers at home who give them aid and comfort.
