Come on, only 700+ have signed this, click the link below and help stop Sharia law here in the UK.
Let our dhimmi of a Prime Minister know that we have had enough of being dictated to by a vocal and pardon the expression somewhat explosive community within our nation.
Recognise that Sharia Law is incompatible with Secular Democracy and Ban all implementations, accommodations and services that allow Sharia to be implemented 'by stealth' into the UK.

1. MUSLIMS TELLING US HOW TO RUN OUR SCHOOLSTags: MCB
http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/news_detail.html?sku=1264
Demands for a ban on ‘un-Islamic’ activities in schools
will be set out by the Muslim Council of Britain today.
Targets include playground games, swimming lessons,
school plays, parents’ evenings and even vaccinations.
And the calls for all children to be taught in Taliban
-style conditions will be launched with the help of a
senior Government education adviser.
Professor Tim Brighouse, chief adviser to London schools,
was due to attend the event at the capital’s biggest
mosque.
His presence there was seen as ‘deeply worrying’, and
a sign that the report was backed by the Government.
Tory MP Greg Hands said: ‘The MCB needs to realise
it has to move closer to the rest of the community,
not away from it.
‘The presence of Tim Brighouse implies Government
backing of this report. This is very worrying.’
Terry Sanderson of the National Secular Society said
the report was a ‘recipe for disaster’.
He added: ‘Schools with even just a handful of Muslim
kids will find they have to follow these guidelines
because there aren’t the staff to have one set of
classes for Muslims and another for the rest.
‘The MCB shouldn’t try to force its religious agenda
on children who may not want it. The Government needs
to send the MCB packing.
Schools should be about teaching, not preaching.’
The report, Towards Greater Understanding – Meeting
The Needs of Muslim Pupils In State Schools, says all
schools should bring in effective bans for all pupils
on ‘un-Islamic activities’ like dance classes.
It also wants to limit certain activities during Ramadan.
They include science lessons dealing with sex, parents’
evenings, exams and immunisation programmes.
The holy month – when eating and drinking is not allowed
in daylight hours – should also see a ban on swimming
lessons in case pupils swallow water in the pool.
When swimming is allowed, boys should wear clothing
covering their bodies ‘from the navel to the neck’,
even during single-sex pool sessions, while girls must
be covered up completely at all times, apart from the
face and hands.
The MCB adds that schools should ensure contact sports,
including football and basketball, ‘are always in single
-gender groups’.
Even school trips are targeted in the report, which
wants them all to be made single-sex ‘to encourage
greater participation from Muslim pupils’.
It wants Arabic language classes for Muslim pupils,
and says the Koran should be recited in music classes.
And all schools should ensure they have prayer rooms
with washing facilities attached, it says.
In art classes, Muslim children should not be allowed
to draw people, as this is forbidden under some
interpretations of Islamic law.
And while the MCB insists that all British children
should learn about Islam, it wants Muslims to have
the right to withdraw their children from RE lessons
dealing with Christianity and other faiths.
The MCB says special treatment and opt-outs are
necessary because otherwise Muslim pupils will feel
excluded from school activities and lessons.
The MCB claims to be the voice of Britain’s 1.5
million Muslims and was heavily courted by politicians
including Tony Blair following the September 11 attacks.
Its former secretary-general Iqbal Sacranie was
awarded a knighthood in 2005.
But other Muslim groups criticised the report. Dr
Ghayasuddin Siddiqui of the Muslim Parliament of
Great Britain said: ‘There has been no discussion on
these issues in the Muslim community.’
And the Sufi Muslim Council – which claims to
represent far more British Muslims than the MCB –
said the report misunderstood Ramadan.
It added: ‘This is not what Islam or Ramadan is about.
Ramadan is about training yourself while carrying on
with everyday life.’
The Department for Education tried to distance itself
from the report last night, and insisted Professor
Brighouse was attending the launch only in a
‘personal capacity’.
A spokesman said it would read the report ‘with interest’.
The MCB did not comment.
It came as Britain's first Muslim peer called for women
to stop wearing veils, claiming that they represent
‘a barrier to integration’.
Reigniting the debate over the face veil, or niqab,
Lord Ahmed of Rotherham said there was no religious
reason why Muslim women should wear them – and claimed
that veils now cause society more harm than good.
The peer, who has urged the authorities to clamp down on
preachers of hate, spoke during a debate held in the
heart of the Arab world.
He told a mainly Muslim audience in Doha, Qatar, that he
does not want a legal ban on the veil being worn in
public – as many other nations are introducing, including
Muslim Turkey and Egypt.
But he said, ’The face veil is a barrier to integration
in the West. The veil is now a mark of separation,
segregation and defiance against mainstream British
culture.
‘There’s nothing in the Koran to say that wearing a
niqab is desirable, let alone compulsory. It’s purely
cultural. It’s an identity thing which has been
misinterpreted.
‘They were supposed to be worn so that women wouldn’t
be harassed. But women, and communities as a whole,
are now being harassed because they are wearing them.'
The Muslim Council of Britain’s assistant secretary
general, Inayat Bunglawala, said yesterday: ‘Peoples’
attitudes are responsible for harming integration,
not veils.
‘And wearing them is very much a matter for individual
Muslim women.’

demands, is here:

2. GOVERNMENT MAY BLOCK LONDON SUPERMOSQUE
http://in.news.yahoo.com/070218/43/6c80o.html
The British government is likely to block plans to
build a 'supermosque' on a site close to the venue
of the 2012 Olympics in east London.
The supermosque, called London Markaz, is supposed
to have room for 70,000 worshippers. The group behind
the project is reported to be Tablighi Jamaat, whose
charitable trust, the Anjuman-e-Islahul Muslimeen,
owns the 18-acre site.
According to the Sunday Telegraph, the Tablighi Jamaat
was called 'an ante-chamber for fundamentalism' by
French security services, and two of the July 7 London
suicide bombers had reportedly attended one
of its mosques.
The report also said that the organisation denied
any link to terrorism, and noted that it had never
been banned.
However, a senior security source told the paper
that he was concerned about the proposed mosque.
The planning application for the mosque is
expected to be turned down by the government.
An unnamed senior government source told the paper
that there were fears that the giant mosque could
damage community relations in the area, and
added: 'We are going to stop it.'
One of the reasons for turning down permission to
build the mosque is that it is so close to the
main Olympic venue that it may interfere with
preparations for the Games. The government source
told the paper that the planning application
needed to be rejected 'to give the Olympics
a clear run'.
The report added that until recently, it was
expected that the permission would be granted
after the project was agreed in principle
in 2001 between the Newham Council and the
Anjuman-e-Islahul Muslimeen.
The report said that the London Thames Gateway
Unitary Development Corporation, which has
planning powers over the site, and the London
Development Agency had supported the plans.
A spokesperson of a lobbying firm hired by
Tablighi Jamaat said: 'Our client utterly
refutes any links to terrorism. It is a predominantly
apolitical organisation seeking to go about
its faith in a peaceful way.'
The report added that Muslims living near the
site in West Ham had raised more than 3,000
signatures on a petition calling for the project
to be halted. The petitioners want any new mosque
to draw in all strands of Islam, it said.
Alan Craig, a Newham councillor for the Christian
People's Alliance party, warned of the 'community
and security impact' that the mosque would have,
and claimed that Muslims were already moving into
the area in preparation for its opening.
In a separate move, the Kingsway International
Christian Centre, Europe's biggest evangelical
church with a capacity of 12,000, is being
pulled down to make way for the Olympics, the
Sunday Telegraph added.
3. LONDON, MUSLIM CAPITAL OF EUROPE? LONDONISTAN!
http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/83805.aspx
Some now call London the 'Muslim capital of Europe.'
No Western city has more mosques.
And now London could be home to the largest
Mosque outside of the Middle East.
Today, a neglected piece of real estate on London's
east end sees little more than commuter trains rumbling
past it. But it's the future location of what some
say will be the biggest Islamic in-road into Christendom
in 400 years: a gigantic mosque complex, the likes of
which the West has never seen.
The land for the proposed mega-mosque now only hosts
a small building -- a make-shift mosque. But imagine
a huge modern Islamic complex right in London; in effect,
an Islamic village for worshippers.
A video from the Web site of the mosque architect
Ali Mangera shows what will be called the London Markaz,
a 17-acre Islamic worship center for as many as 70,000
Muslims. Planned to be the hub of an Islamic quarter
for the 2012 London Olympics, it will dwarf many of
Britain's Christian cathedrals.
Alan Craig of Christian Peoples Alliance said,
'It's going to be very large. It's going to be a mosque,
it's going to be an Islamic garden, there's going to
be a library, there's going to be residential accommodation.
Craig is a councilman for the London borough of Newham
where the mosque would be built. He's fighting it.
'I'm not anti-Muslim,' Craig said. 'I'm a democrat.
I believe Muslims have the right to build mosques.
But there's a difference between your average mosque
down the road, and this monster mosque, this mega-mosque
that they want to build.'
But it's not just the size of the mega-mosque that's a
concern. It's who's behind it -- a shadowy group called
Tablighi Jamaat.
The FBI says that Tablighi Jamaat has ties to al-Qaeda.
The shoe bomber, Richard Reid, was associated with Tablighi
Jamaat, as were two of the 7/7 bombers who struck London's
public transportation system in 2005.
The money for the project is coming from sources in the
Middle East.
Even moderate British Muslims oppose the mosque, and have
circulated a petition against it. One of the leaders of
the Muslim opposition is Dr Irfan al-Alawi, who says
the mosque will be a security threat.
Al-Alawi said, 'I think, yes. Once the youth have been
brainwashed, and been captured by the satanic ideology
of the Tablighis, yes, it will come as a very hard-
hitting movement.'
But while some moderate British Muslims may think the
mega-mosque is a bad idea, it has one important booster,
the Mayor of London. 'The person who is really behind it
is Ken Livingstone,' al-Alawi said.
Far-left London Mayor Ken Livingstone, also known as
'Red Ken,' has what some would describe as a pro-Islamist,
anti-Israel track record.
He's called Ariel Sharon a 'war criminal' and has said
that British Muslims who go to the Middle East and kill
Israelis should not be called terrorists.
The mega-mosque project might have sailed through before
9/11. But in 2007, Britain is now considered a major
base for homegrown Islamic terrorism.
Newsweek reports that Britons are traveling to Pakistan
where they're being trained to carry out terrorist attacks
in the UK. Al-Alawi says Pakistan is also where Tablighi
Jamaat sends young British-born Muslims to be brainwashed
into extremism.
Al-Alawi asked , 'Is the British government really going
to turn a blind eye on that and say, let's go ahead and
give these people a chance? I don't think so. If they
want a 9/11 in England, then by all means.'
But Melanie Phillips, author of Londonistan, says the British
left still believes that accommodating radical Muslims
will somehow pacify them.
'It's taken the line of least resistance and it, very foolishly
in my view, believes that if you give in to the demands
being made by extremists, you kind of make the problem go
away,' explained Phillips.
But if anything, the 'problem' in Britain is growing. Polls
last year showed almost a quarter of British Muslims believe
the 7/7 London bombings were justified, and one in three
want to live under Sharia law.
And those kinds of headlines have helped galvanize grass-
roots opposition to the mega-mosque project.
Councilor Craig, who lives in a city with 300 mosques
and 500 madrassahs, suggests that Britain not allow any
more mosques until Muslims allow churches in Saudi Arabia.
Craig said, 'Why should the Saudis pay for a mosque in
the UK when there is not one single church, temple,
goodwara, synagogue in Saudi at all?'
The spokesman for Tablighi Jamaat, Abdul Khalique, refused
an interview request by CBN News. But he told the British
press that the mega mosque '.will be something never seen
before in this country. It is a mosque for the future, as
part of the British landscape.'
If the mega-mosque is built, you can be sure of one thing:
it will be the symbol for the incredible growth of Islam in
Britain and in Western Europe.
4. ISLAM THREATENS CHURCH-STATE SEPARATION
We fought one civil war, and endured centuries of Catholic
-Protestant conflict, to establish freedom of religion in
this country, but Islam threatens to undo all that, by
destroying the basic idea of religion being a person’s
private business.
http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?idCategory=33&idsub=124&id=8039&t=Islam+challenges+European+view+of+private+religion
The growth of Islam in Europe is challenging deeply-held
notions that faith is a private matter which should be
banished from public life, a prominent sociologist of religion
has told a gathering of European Christian leaders.
‘We ignore the presence of Islam at our peril,’ Professor
Grace Davie of the University of Exeter in Britain told
leaders from Europe's main Christian traditions at a 15-18
February meeting in Wittenberg in Germany. ‘This is a
catalyst for a much more profound change in the religious
landscape of Europe.’
Recent controversies such as those about the wearing of
the Muslim headscarf by school students in France, or the
publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad in
Danish newspapers, were cases in point, noted Davie,
professor of sociology at Exeter university and director
of its centre for European studies.
‘The presence of Islam is a catalyst that has reopened
issues that Europeans thought were closed,’ Davie said
on 16 February. ‘You cannot privatise Islam. We have seen
that.’ But she said Christian churches had a major task in
helping to find ways to deal with such public expression
of religion.
Davie was presenting the results of recent research* on
the place of religion in Europe, in which she wrote about
the controversy over the cartoons: ‘The lack of comprehension
on both sides of this affair, together with an unwillingness to
compromise, led alarmingly fast to dangerous confrontations,
both in Europe and beyond.’
The notion that religion should be banished from public life
- and particularly from the state and from the education
system - was widespread in Europe, Davie noted. But in part
due to the presence of Islam, religion was increasingly
likely to penetrate the public sphere in Europe, a tendency
being encouraged by the ever more obvious presence of
religion in the modern global order.
However, this was ‘probably more of a problem for the
secular elite than the Christian churches’, Davie suggested
in her comments in Wittenberg. She said, ‘We need to grasp
how to deal with religion in the political sphere and here
Christian churches have a huge contribution to make.’
The Wittenberg meeting is being organized by the Council
of European (Roman Catholic) Bishops' Conferences (CCEE)
and the Conference of European Churches (CEC), which groups
most Anglican, Protestant and Orthodox churches in Europe.
It is one of a series of events that will culminate in
September in the Romanian city of Sibiu at the Third
European Ecumenical Assembly, which will gather several
thousand people from Europe's main Christian traditions.

Exceptional Case?’, in The Hedgehog Review, Spring/Summer

5. MUSLIMS FORCING DISCRIMINATION AGAINST 'INFIDELS' IN UK
http://www.bloggernews.net/14627
I wonder how long and how hard it was for the UK to
outlaw institutional discrimination in their country.
It took our country a civil war and 100 years of moral
indignation that eventually lead to amendments to our
Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of the 1960s.
Now in service to the rule of multiculturalism, the UK
seems it’s perfectly legal to give one sector of their
society the power to discriminate against others.
I would be correct in assuming that 50 years ago, if
their was a rule against white people swimming with black
people, the British citizens would rise up and protest
en mass accusing that government run entity of
discrimination and bigotry.
Well, times have change sin the UK and discrimination
is the order of the day. In this case – non-Muslims
swimming with Muslims. The Daily Mail reports:
When Lee Williams saw a parent-and-toddler session
advertised at his local pool, he thought it was the
perfect chance to teach his young daughter to swim.
Arriving at the leisure centre already in her swimming
costume, two-year-old Darby was desperate to get into
the water. But she was left in tears when staff said
they were not allowed in the pool because the session
was for Muslim women and their children only.
But this not the first incident of Muslim discrimination
in the UK.
The incident is the latest in a series of rows between
local authorities and the public over swimming lessons
for ethnic minority groups.
In December last year, Croydon Council in South London
came under fire for running Muslim-only sessions at one
of its leisure centres. Non-Muslim members of Thornton
Heath leisure centre were angry that they could not
swim during the Muslim- only sessions on Saturdays and
Sundays unless they obeyed the strict dress code.
For men, this involved wearing shorts which kept the
navel hidden and were extended below the knee, while
women bathers had to wear a swimming costume which
covered their body from the neck down to the ankle.
Similarly, Wolverhampton Council and South Lanarkshire
local authority have also been criticised for operating
women- only swimming for Muslims.
This is not multicultural accomodation. What we have
here is one of the non-violent forms of jihad – in
this case institutional jihad - working towards the
establishment of Shariah law in non-Muslim lands and
they’re unaware of their willing decent into dhimmitude.
6. BBC A PROPAGANDA TOOL FOR ISLAMIST REGIME IN SOMALIA
Somalia may seem like an obscure problem, but jihad is a
global struggle, and the BBC is disturbingly often on the
wrong side of it, all over the world.
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2007/02/somalis_charge_that_bbc_a_tool.html
A group of 260 Britons of Somali origin has submitted
aletter to the chairman of the BBC's board of governors,
chargingthat the BBC's Somali service has become a ‘tool
of propaganda’of the beseiged Islamist regime in Somalia.
Here is an excerpt from their letter, as picked up by
the websites Ummah News Links and SomaliNet.
'...the people in charge of the Somali Service are neither
being impartial, diverse in opinion nor fair in reporting
the reality in Somalia. On the contrary, they appear to
be taking sides and acting as tools of propaganda for
the Islamic Courts Union.
'In our opinion, a group of Islamic Courts Union
Supporters within the BBC Somali Service are selectively
choosing interviewees to express the opinion of the group
that the Islamic Courts Union are the chosen liberators of
the Somali people. Thereby using the good offices of the
BBC to campaign for the newly emerged Taliban Style Forces.
We know these Forces as the New Somali Warlords who have
replaced the previous, now ousted Somali Warlords. The
people in charge of the BBC Somali Service is giving the
activists of the Islamic Courts Union a platform as a means
of propaganda for the purpose of poisoning, brain-washing and
recruiting young innocent Somali-Britons and other youth
Muslims in Britain, Somalia, and The East African Region,
and indeed World-wide.
'As you know, the ousted Somali Warlords killed hundreds of
thousands of innocent civilian Somalis. Dismantled our
country's physical infrastructure and social fabric, and
took Somalia back to the Stone Age. Their activities were
then confined in the Somali Territory. But now these Islamic
Courts, the New Warlords, are a global threat, fanatic madmen,
extremists and fundamentalists who want and plan to wage war
on everyone, every religion & faith, including Islam.
They have declared JIHAD without understanding what JIHAD is.
They are only using Religion as a means to achieve their goals
through the implementation of far more deadly and dangerous
hidden agenda.
I enclose a DVD Video demonstrating the Islamic Courts Union's
ideology and actions since they seized power in Mogadishu and
Southern Somalia Regions.
What has happened to the Journalism Ethics of the BBC Somali
Service? What has happened to the trusted and respected core
values of News Broadcasting that has always distinguished the
BBC from all the other Broadcasting Media? Are we to understand
that the ethics of the BBC Somali Service are now the accepted
ethics of the BBC.

Islam

Terrorism
