Sharia don' like it...

Posted by Devil's Kitchen at 2/07/2008 01:47:00 PM

Dr Rowan Williams: hairy, untidy twat-faced cunt.

I would like to echo my colleague's assessment of Rowan Williams's latest piece of crap—why can't this man shut his fucking face?
The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams says the adoption of Islamic Sharia law in the UK is "unavoidable".

The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams is an utter arsehole who should be strung up by a meathook through his scrotum.
Dr Williams told BBC Radio 4's World at One that the UK has to "face up to the fact" that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.

Tough fucking shit, frankly. Seriously, every time that Rowan Williams comes out with some piece of bullshit I think, "how can he possibly top this?" But he manages it every time: it's a gift.
Dr Williams argues that adopting some aspects of Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion.

How? How does one subset of citizens living under a different law than the others help with social cohesion, precisely?
For example, Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia court.

And what if those Sharia court judgements contravene British law? What then, Williams, you fuckwitted arse?
He says Muslims should not have to choose between "the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty".

Fuck them, frankly. We are not asking them to choose between "cultural loyalty or state loyalty", we are insisting that those people who live in this country live under the laws of this country. We are a secular country and our law is secular: we are not going to change the law for a bunch of fucking lunatics who believe that their particular sky-fairy has commanded them to live differently from everyone else.

Seriously, fuck them and fuck you too, Williams.

Everyone is equal under the law and that means the law of this land. If these people wish to live under a religious legal system, then might I humbly suggest that they fuck off to some country that has such a system? They might find that they are happier in Iran, Saudi Arabia or Sudan. And the climate's warmer too.

And there is no fucking way that the police should be enforcing this religious law, so how will it be enforced? By "community leaders"? And what happens if they break British law whilst enforcing their Sharia court's decisions?

You, Williams, are a fuckwit and a dangerous fuckwit at that. Oh, who will rid me of this turbulent priest?

[Waits expectantly for four knights to go and murder the bastard.]

Yes, yes, I know I'm not a king but throw me a frickin' bone here*...

Ugh. *shudders*. Most intellectually retarded brain cra I have ever heard. Having people living under different legal systems if just so fucking stupid it doesn't deserve to be reported by the BBC. Unlike a certain court case!
I hope I wake up soon to find this is all a dream.

A bit late for that: read this and a quote " . . speaking at the Islamic Finance and Trade Conference the chancellor [a Mr Brown] said he wanted to make the UK "the gateway for Islamic finance".

He pointed to reforms of the tax system [which include changes in the stamp duty regime] to make Sharia compliance easier"

If it comes to introducing Sharia family law, I will happily take up arms against anyone who thinks this is a good idea. I'm sure I'm not in the minority in thinking this - unlike the lunatics who seem to believe that elbowing in a more rampantly sexist legal system than our own (and based, we remind ourselves, on a religion that believes women to be inherently inferior) to mediate family law is a good idea.

I for one would be very grateful if Rowan William's sky fairy of choice would hurry up and depose this particular member of his flock. He is an unadulterated arse.

FWIW the Archbishop of Canterbury is right: the adoption of Sharia law into this country has become inevitable.

After the mass immigration of muslims into Britain over the past few years, there is now no way of avoiding it short of civil war.

A thought occurs...how do libertarians view polygamy? Especially in light of the recent home office rulings regarding polygamous relationships getting recognition when instituted overseas? I know how people feel about the tax breaks and the welfare (something I think intellegent individuals on both are happy to argue is flagrantly stupid and anti-islamic at the same time), but what about the actual act itself?

My view is people do as they please if it doesn't harm anyone. So what would be the problem?

If women want to share a man and a man can put up with more than one woman go for it.

Alternatively if women want their own hareem and there are willing men then go for it too.

Wouldn't float my boat, but if it floats someone elses, thats not my business, as long as I'm not paying for it.

It's brilliant. I can choose to live under Libertarian Law. It will be the Libertarian Community who will enforce Libertarian Law, and the police won't be able to interfere in our culture: our Community will abolish all the nannying regulations passed since 1997. We will will drink in our own Community bars, pay our own minimal taxes for our own necessary services. We will have our own Community Schools where no Government official will dare to tell us that we can't teach Libertarianism. It will do wonders for social cohesion: there will be millions who will come to live in our Community.

I don't think we do have views on polygamy... At least, not where our political philosophy is concerned- that's the whole point- it's none of our business.

As a matter of personal taste, it's an individual concern.

I really don't care either way, so long as it isn't doing me or anybody else any harm and it isn't costing me (as I have skimmed from a few headlines recently that polygamy is to be recognised by the welfare system).

Erm, I am not sure I get your point.

If you are saying wives cost money then someone with enough money would be the only person interested in having many of them.

I would expect most guys that aren't very rich would expect their wives to go out and get a job. Or just wouldn't marry beyond their means - thats the point, do what you want to within your means (because the idea is they don't deserve ANY of anyone's money - in fact no individual would).

As to kids - people can bring them up as they see fit. Thats somewhat the job of parents. The more they have, the more they cost.

If you were thinking of stigma, as it would be perfectly legal (and children can already come from a wide variety of 'family' units) I doubt there would be much of a problem.

MU and others - Polygamy is against the law.

Gordon Brown and the ferrets that scamper around the corridors of No 10 are stupid and ignorant. OK, we knew that, but in this instance, there can be no welfare payments from the British taxpayer to polygamous wives because - even if married in a muslim country - their marriages are not legitimate.

Under islam, a man can only take on up to four wives IF HE CAN AFFORD TO KEEP THEM. If he cannot, then he contracted the marriages illegitimately, under the all important moonbat islamic law, and they are NOT HIS WIVES.

So the British taxpayer doesn't have to go out to work to support "wives" who are not, and cannot be, legitimate wives because their marriages are illegal because the "husband" cannot afford to keep them.

So this is more ignorant pandering to the the most primitive element of our society. Yech!

The Ayatollah of Cunterbery is without doubt the worst Primate in living memony. We already have a situation in Islamic countries such as Kuwait and Malasya where the decisions of the civil courts on divorce, blasphemy and conversion to a non-Islamic faith have been overruled by the religious courts and that must not be allowed to happen in this country where the law of the land has already been hampered by an unholy alliance of New Labour fascists, EU directives, the PC brigade, European Courts and the loathsome 1998 Human Rights Act.

I am not bigoted against al-Islam in general, but I must also be objective and state that 'modern' Islam as enforced by far too many so-called Muslims is as intolorant, barbaric and inhuman as medieval Christianity and until the Islamic world realises this and makes a real and concerted effort to reform their attitudes towards each other and the 'people of Kuff' (non-believers), we non-Muslims should ourselves be as uncompromising towards their own uncompromising bigotry, violence, racism and intolorance.

Incidentally, the Beth Din does not act in legal matters, as far as I understand it. Jewish religious law does not supercede British (or any other nation's) law. The Jews do not want to take over the world. They don't want to take over Britain. They don't even want converts.

I'm sure you can spot the difference, as uninformed about islam as you all too obviously are. Read some of the koran to see what islam's plans for you are.

I would like to propose, in all seriousness, that islam be declared an illegal, mind-controlling cult.

As I understand it - and I stand to be corrected - orthodox Jews are divorced in the civil courts but also go through divorce in the Jewish courts. They cannot re-marry in a synagogue unless they have been given a Jewish divorce and a civil divorce. This is not the British state "recognising" Jewish law or Jews not "recognising" civil law: Jewish law only affects Jews. What Williams implied is that Moslems will not recognise civil law if it conflicts with Koranic law. As far as I know (and, again, I stand to be corrected) Jewish law specifically requires that civil law - the law of the land in which they live - must be obeyed even if it conflicts with Jewish law: hence the spectacle of motorised transport travelling through North West London on the Jewish Sabbath.

Umbongo, you are correct. I listened to the Archbishop's comments on R4, and he appeared to be commending a system whereby Muslims can pick and choose which legal system they wish to deal with.

I've no problem with the Sharia courts dealing with religious issues in matters such as marriage and food preparation, in the same way as does the Beth Din. And if that is really all the Archbishop was saying, he didn't need to say it.

But as a poster on ID's blog has pointed out, Talmudic scholars say "the law of the land is the law". Do we believe the more fanatical members of the Islamic community will settle for that?

John B - Rowan Williams clearly would like to see a parallel legal system for islamic immigrants to our shores.

We need to tighten up on the concessions they get, not give them more. For example, it is against the law in Britain to wear a mask in public. Although many of us are grateful that these rather ugly women are civic-minded enough to cover their faces, it is still against the law for them to wear those niqabs. But they get away with it because they say, "It's my religion." Well, no it isn't, you uppity nitwit. Nowhere in the koran or the surahs does mohammad go into the rag trade and tell people what this year's line is.

All he ever said was both women and men should "dress modestly". In other words, don't frighten the camels. That was all he ever said about couture.

Women wearing illegal masks should be told to remove them and, if they refuse, should be arrested.

Another sign of the steady, aggressive advance of this cult - facilitated by the destructive, vicious left, is, schools are serving normal, British children with halal food without their parents' knowledge.

Here's what I believe is the crux of the problem:

We think that:

A. Muslims can practice the religion of Islam, it is their right within their individual freedom and liberty,

whilst,

B. Expecting Muslims to not act in an Islamic manner.

Make no mistake, the liberals (among whom we can include libertarians) are close minded and insular. They are backwards and old fashioned. They need to expand their minds to diversity.

We need to circumvent the whole problem with immigration restriction. But you wont like that because it infringes the right of the individual to go where they please. Which just goes to show that libertarianism is impotent as an ideology before Islam.

You are alarmingly naive. Sharia provides 'an alternative to the divorce courts' in the sense that a Muslim male can divorce himself in about ten seconds, whereas a woman of course can't (after all she's only a woman). That's the sort of shit the depraved Arsebishop is buying into.

I'm sorry, but are you seriously trying to advance that as an argument? Fucking hellski...

Rape is sex without consent and counts as a violation of property rights (a person's body is their property).

By their very nature, a child cannot give consent for sex because they are a child and thus cannot give informed consent.

Therefore, if you are making a porn film with children, you are (at the least) an accessory to rape) which is punishable under libertarian philosophy.

If this is your usual level of argument, please piss off and don't trouble me again.

If you are just pig-ignorant, please go away and consider the concepts of property and consent. You may then come back and apologise.

I wondered if elements of Sharia law might be created under contract law but I think you`ll find that such a contract would be unenforceable otherwise any community could contract out of legal rights . I take it that duress of some sort would be assumed . The point about Jewish courts is specious there are of course Episcopal courts but they are subject to English law
You can have a rugby club drinking court and there are such things I `m afraid the word has confused you. The suggestion here is that this law should have recognition within the English legal system . That is clearly a ludicrous idea.
I have to say DK that Libertarianism does have a problem with valuing communities and the communities derivation of rights as it is at heart a universal right based idea. It is difficult for you to explain why there should be any special place afforded to the bells of Oxford as against the megaphones of the aggressive Islamic fascists . Seeing no need to be fair to outsiders I do not have a conundrum to solve , for me rights come a part of package with responsibility sand membership of an ethnic group. I am tolerant that elsewhere there may be different values to an extent but intolerant of the incursions of scruffy jabbering throwbacks using a semi digested Liberalism to advance with the arrogance of a new Raj.

In this global "marketplace" of legal systems, there are plenty of jurisdictions that offer the sort of backward, repressive misogyny that good Muslims appear to crave, so perhaps they should take their business there rather than bagering the rest of us via fifth columnists.

In any case, I cont see how any law giving sharia any binding powers could possibly be compatible with human rights law, given that sharia is entirely slewed against women in almost every case, including their ability to tell the truth.

Williams has clearly given no thought at all to the actual impact on so-called cohesion. His twisted, self-flagellating 'logic' will ultimately end in civil war or a holocaust in some distant future.

As far as I'm concerned, Shariah financing is fine - if people want to tie themselves up in expensive knots in order to pretend they're not paying interest then fair enough - all to the good of our financial services sector and crucially - it's no skin off our noses. However, to suggest that allowing Islamic mortgages sets a precedent for the less charming bits of Shariah, is bollocks.

What the hell is wrong with serving Halal food, its simple you dimwit, it breaks our laws on the slaughter of animals and has taken away the right to have a choice of eating meat which has been killed as humanely as possible.

As for Sharia banking have you looked at the investment side of things, invest in companies that do not produce alcohol, pork products, gambling, Insurance, Banking etc. And why is that? The thing about Shria is that you can not pick and chose what is applied or not. Though I agree with the sentiments of over-charging Muslims for their stupidity. We have to make sure that all the profitable companies buy an opeating unit with unclean products so that they are forced to sell at the bottom of the markt, now that would be fun!!!

3:00 pm. Thank you. While taking away something's life can not be deemed "humance", we have laws in this country to try to ensure that it is done with as humanely as possible. That halal nonsense is against the law in Britain and every last halal slaughterer and butcher's shop should be closed for contravening our laws. This would include Jewish kosher slaughter as well. So be it.

Serving food to children that has been killed by torture is repulsive and their parents are rightly angry. Given that islamics are, so far, a small if rather noisy minority in this country, the leftist schools have no excuse at all for catering to them, except self-righteousness and furthering their own hatred of Britain.

By the way, anonymous, thank you for your defence, but there is absolutely no reason to accord this practice respect by capitalising the word halal. It is disgusting enough with a small h.

Islamic banking is most entertaining, as is their business sense. Without oil, these people would still be squatting in the sand. For sure they are not capable of creating wealth.

Given the raving bigoted nonsense that's being talked by people who haven't been deleted, I'm also slightly in awe of whatever the deletees said.

On halal, cutting an animal's throat with a sharp blade *doesn't cause it any pain* (ever cut your finger with a sharp knife? Note the way it doesn't hurt til several minutes later...), while lining up animals to be shot in the head with a bolt-gun is hardly humane-tacular. Only a bigoted moron would believe that halal animals have suffered any more than conventionally killed animals...

John B - The animals are aware that they are bleeding from the throat. This is alarming to any mammal.

The apologists for islam seem never to have a positive thing to say about this curious cult. All they do is try to take the high road with regard to other posters. Very childish.

Where do you stand on the statements in the koran that Jews are descended from pigs and monkeys? Apart from an expression of hatred, this statement has absolutely no logic - by which I mean, it is impossible to find a sane jumping off point for it.

Where do you stand on the requirement that a woman who is raped has to have four male witnesses to the rape - a requirement so surreal as to be on the verge of lunacy - otherwise, the raped woman will be judged by sharia law to have committed adultery and will be sentenced to be buried up to her neck and stoned to death.

What about women being disallowed from shaking hands with a man. What? (Not all islamic societies have this paranoid rule, but some of the more primitive, which is just about all of them, do.)

How about hanging men born homosexual?

Apologists for islam who seem to believe that taking the high ground somehow elevates them intellectually, rather than revealing the paucity of their knowledge - never address these, and many other, issues.

These primitive people were forced down the throats of the British who didn't want them then, and don't want them now. The Brits I know, however, seem to be perfectly happy that Jews and Hindus are in our midst.

BTW, I wonder how the fragrant Inayat Bungalow Boy is reacting to all this. And his boss, Bari Bad Barnett.

Re halal: I've seen animals killed in several ways, and (aside from a distance shot in the head with a rifle) kosher slaughter was the one in which they appeared least distressed. I'm not an animal psychologist, oddly enough, but I've not seen anyone who knows what they're talking about (rather than city sentimentalists) seriously claim it's any worse than industrial slaughter.

Re Jews: the Koran also says that they're People of the Book who deserve respect and whose food you can share. Oddly enough, religious texts tend to be conflicted and weird.

Re rape: yes, obviously the fact you need four male witnesses to convict is stupid - however, you also need four male witnesses to convict for adultery.

Re no hand-shaking: it's not, as you admit, a religious requirement. That's like saying "what about people being beaten to death by drunken thugs? It doesn't happen in all Western communities, but it happens in the more barbaric ones".

Re killing gays: yes, that's an appalling thing; I'm glad we've (mostly) stopped doing that over the last 150 years. Do you think the reason gays still get murdered in Jamaica is because of Christianity?

John B, also known as Terribly Silly Person: It doesn't matter that the koran also says that Jews are people of the book. It's irrelevant, because it also says they are descended from pigs and monkeys. And every word in the koran is absolutely true, because mohammad was a prophet and knew everything, actually.

Re no hand-shaking: it's not, as you admit, a religious requirement. That's like saying "what about people being beaten to death by drunken thugs? It doesn't happen in all Western communities, but it happens in the more barbaric ones".

No, I do not admit that it is not a religious requirement. Why the hell do you think women refuse to shake hands with men if it's not a religious requirement? It's because it's the idea of "modesty", which is el numero uno rule to control women in islam. These people are nothing if not jumpy about sex. What I said is, in some of the more enlightened societies with large numbers of islamics, this rule is ignored. That's like saying "what about people being beaten to death by drunken thugs?

No, it's not.

I have no idea why some gays get murdered in Jamaica. But the key word in your sentence is "murdered". These deaths aren't legally commanded by a deity, but are unlawful killings and the perpetrators will be tried and punished. Attempting to conflate the two issues demonstrates the level of your desperation to show what a clever lad you are.

@ Roger - I imagine the reasons include: it costs more; it tastes worse (because kosher meat, unlike halal, is soaked and salted to remove all the blood); there weren't any Orthodox Jewish children at the school...

Err, the point is that "eating legally killed meat" isn't the sort of thing that normally requires consent, unless the parents have sent a note saying "please only feed my child meat that has been killed in a manner that fits with my personal prejudices and superstitions".

The Muslim parents sent such a note; any non-Muslim parents who (despite the fact that Christians are explicitly allowed to eat meat killed by Muslims, Jews or whoever the hell else happens to be set up as a butcher) sent such a note would find their child not being served the halal meat.

Quite how you'd phrase such a note would be difficult. "I hate Muslims, so only want my child to have meat that hasn't been polluted by their filthy hands" might sound a bit bigoted, but would also be honest. I suppose "I know fuck all about animal slaughter or pain perception, so I believe halal slaughter is cruel even though it isn't" would be a little better...

We are a secular country and our law is secular: we are not going to change the law for a bunch of fucking lunatics who believe that their particular sky-fairy has commanded them to live differently from everyone else.

Sadly, this is not true. How on earth you can come out with this only parades your ignorance of the country you live in.

The UK is a Protestant state, having unified Church and State from Henry VIII, it has a state religion of which Dr Beardie is the Archbishop and the Monarchy is the Head.

If you don't believe me, go to Northern Ireland, where they'll put you straight on a few facts. Its the one thing that everyone agrees on: the British state is NOT neutral about religion.

Once you lift the fragile fig leaf of Parliament's claims, you find out the reality.

The United Kingdom is a fully sectarian state. It has no truck with the notion of freedom of conscience or freedom of religious belief and never has. The UK's history for the last six hundred years is one long tale of sectarianism and sectarian insurrection brutally put down, only to appear one, two or three generations later.

That's the problem with most Britons. They have no idea what state they're in.

  • "I don't mean it literally, or even metaphorically. I just find that his atheism aside, I agree with everything the Devil (of Kitchen fame...) says. I particularly enjoy his well crafted and sharp swearing, especially when addressed at self righteous lefties..."—The Tin Drummer

  • "This hugely entertaining, articulate, witty Scottish commentator is also one of the most foul-mouthed bloggers around. Gird up your loins and have a look. Essential reading."—Doctor Crippen
  • "The Devil's Kitchen is one of the foremost blogs in the UK. The DK is bawdy, foul-mouthed, tasteless, vulgar, offensive and frequently goes beyond all boundaries of taste and decency. So why on earth does Dr Crippen read the DK? Because he reduces me to a state of quivering, helpless laughter."—Doctor Crippen's Grand Rounds
  • "DK is a take-no-prisoners sort of libertarian. His blog is renowned for its propensity for foul-mouthed invective, which can be both amusing and tiresome by turns. Nevertheless, he is usually lucid, often scintillating and sometimes illuminating."—Dr Syn
  • "If you enjoy a superior anti-Left rant, albeit one with a heavy dash of cursing, you could do worse than visit the Devil's Kitchen. The Devil is an astute observer of the evils of NuLabour, that's for sure. I for one stand converted to the Devil and all his works."—Istanbul Tory
  • "... a sick individual."—Peter Briffa
  • "This fellow is sharp as a tack, funny as hell, and—when something pisses him off—meaner than a badger with a case of the bullhead clap."—Green Hell

  • "I tend to enjoy Devil's Kitchen not only because I disagree with him quite a lot of the time but because I actually have to use my brain to articulate why."—Rhetorically Speaking
  • "This blog is currently slamming. Politics certainly ain't all my own. But style and prose is tight, fierce, provocative. And funny. OK, I am a child—swear words still crack a laugh."—Qwan
