London Calling

SIOE England sent us this press release this afternoon about their planned 9-11 demo in London:

London Calling

LONDON DEMONSTRATION 11th SEPTEMBER 2008

LOCATION: OUTSIDE LAMBETH PALACE


THEME: NO SHARIA HERE!

An event organised by “Stop Islamisation Of Europe” (SIOE)

To commemorate the 9/11 2001 victims of the Islamist attacks on the USA and Western democracy

To protest about the Sharia-by-stealth being imposed across Europe

The undermining of English Common Law and national sovereign laws in European countries, together with their associated democracies, is proceeding at a reckless pace.

Senior establishment figures such as the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Chief Justice have intimated that Sharia law might have a place within English law and British law as a whole.

SIOE opposes Sharia law at any level existing in English law and any national sovereign law in Europe.

SIOE organiser Stephen Gash said, “Rational people all over Europe believe in democracy, not theocracy. In a working democracy legislation may be enacted and repealed according to circumstances prevailing at the time. Muslims believe that Sharia law is the unassailable word of their deity Allah and is unchangeable. The vast majority of Europeans consider the stoning to death of a woman for being raped and beheading a person for leaving Islam to be barbaric punishments. Those punishments represent the thick end of the wedge. The thin end of the wedge is, for example, uniquely allowing Muslim men multiple welfare benefits for multiple wives as happens in the United Kingdom and other European countries.”

Anders Gravers, SIOE organiser, said, “The Danish constitution is very dear to Danish hearts and we celebrate Constitution Day every year. Every Friday in mosques in Denmark Koranic verses are preached which are unconstitutional. This contradicts Danish law and SIOE Denmark is seeking to have those verses removed from the Koran. We believe that Islam and democracy are incompatible and most Muslim clerics agree with us.”

Non-Muslims are treated as third class citizens in Islamic countries such as, Egypt, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria and Indonesia. These countries are, supposedly, democracies. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Muslims in those countries voted for non-Muslims to have an inferior status. This is because Islam declares non-Muslims are inferior to Muslims.

Rather an amusing statement, given that Britain is itself a theocracy.

I don't exactly believe in democracy either.

A people has to disearve democracy, like the Swiss, or the Americans of old. Very few peoples deserve democracy. Mine does not.

There's a whole world of difference between a theocracy - that is, rule by religious edict - and a democratic state with an established official religion.

Unless you're talking about the new religion of environmentalism...

Hardly. A "theocracy" is simply a state governed by an offical or officials regarded as being divinely guided, which Elizabeth II, in her capacity as both head of the Church of England and ruler of the United Kingdom is, if I'm not mistaken. Japan and the Vatican city, neither generally remarked upon as exemplars of backwardness and oppression, also qualify as theocracies.

We must have different dictionaries.

Well, whatever. If you're enjoying the irony, so be it, I can't see the point in making a fuss. :)
