TERROR COPS FEAR ‘MUMBAI ATTACK’ IN UK

From the Daily Star:
RANTING Anjem Choudary launched an astonishing anti-British tirade as terror experts warned yesterday of a Mumbai-style massacre in Britain.
The hate preacher called for apartheid in the UK just days after backing the killers in India. And his supporters threatened to unleash “blood on the streets”.
Experts said the chance of a terror attack here has increased since last week’s gun rampage in Mumbai left nearly 200 dead.
Choudary, 41, spoke at a packed public meeting called “Not So Great Britain”.
It was held at a council-owned arts centre in Southall, Middlesex, by Islam4UK.com – a website he founded with banned hate preacher Omar Bakri Mohammad.
Filthy
He branded Britain “filthy”, accused children of being “prostitutes” and demanded non-Muslims wear signs like the Nazis forced on the Jews in WWII.
Crazed Choudary said: “In Britain there are 230 rapes every day, that’s 10 per hour. Supermarkets are selling poles for little children so they can become prostitutes when they grow up. There’s no comparison between our way of life and theirs.
“In an Islamic state, non-Muslims will have to wear a sign to show what they are – it should say Kaffir. We won’t discriminate on height, race or appearance but we will discriminate on faith.” Earlier, Bakri spoke via videophone from Lebanon. [oh surrrrrrrrrrra…]
Meanwhile, one of Choudary’s henchmen at Islam4UK, which has close links to banned group al-Muhajiroun, warned: “You will know when the Muslims have ignited an insurrection when there is blood on the streets of London and New York like there is blood on the streets of Fallujah and Mumbai.”
MP Patrick Mercer, the chairman of the Commons counter-terrorism committee, warned: “What can happen in Mumbai can just as well happen in Manchester or Birmingham.
“This style of attack is something we would find very difficult to deal with.”
* Last week 99 per cent of Daily Star readers called for Choudary to be booted out of Britain and police pledged to crack down on his rants.

Sharia Courts in Britain

Sharia courts now have the power of law in Britain: Revealed: UK’s first official sharia courts.
ISLAMIC law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases.
The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence. Rulings issued by a network of five sharia courts are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court. Previously, the rulings of sharia courts in Britain could not be enforced, and depended on voluntary compliance among Muslims.
It has now emerged that sharia courts with these powers have been set up in London, Birmingham, Bradford and Manchester with the network’s headquarters in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Two more courts are being planned for Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Sheikh Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi, whose Muslim Arbitration Tribunal runs the courts, said he had taken advantage of a clause in the Arbitration Act 1996.

Anger at council fasting request

Below the BBC has an interesting article. The Muslims now want Non Muslims to fast for Ramadan!
Anger at council fasting request
Councillors in east London have reacted angrily after being asked to observe Muslim fasting rules in meetings held during Ramadan.
Tower Hamlets councillors were asked to “not partake of any refreshments” until Muslim councillors received their permitted evening meal, known as Iftar.
Liberal Democrat councillor Stephanie Eaton said: “This is going too far.”
The council said it wanted councillors to be sensitive about eating “whilst others in the room are fasting”.
Muslims fast during daylight hours in the holy month of Ramadan, which began in the UK on Monday.
Tower Hamlets has a high Muslim population, recorded at 36% in the 2001 census, and its 51 councillors were asked to observe a number of changes during Ramadan.

This included refraining from eating refreshments supplied during late-night meetings “until after the Iftar refreshments are served”, an email from Democratic Services head John Williams told them.
Ms Eaton felt the move was “inappropriate” and “divisive”.
She said: “I am quite happy to make accommodation in my working life for my Muslim colleagues but Tower Hamlets residents, and my colleagues, come from all different backgrounds and religions.”
She added: “I am concerned that this gives the impression that the council is going to be Muslim-run and that Islam is given special status in the council.”
In addition, a number of council meetings have been cut or rescheduled to enable Muslim councillors to return home in time for their permitted meal.
Conservative councillor Peter Golds said it was “a pretty rum way of doing things”.

“The council has been pretty slow during August so it is not a good time to reduce the number of meetings,” he said.
Meetings have previously been adjusted to accommodate Ramadan, “but not as overtly as this,” Mr Golds said.
Despite Mr Williams’ email, a council spokeswoman said there was “no suggestion” that non-Muslim councillors were asked to refrain from eating or drinking during Ramadan.
“All that’s being asked for is courtesy to be shown to the sensitivities around some councillors eating during council meetings whilst others in the room are fasting,” she said.
A Muslim Council of Britain spokesman said non-Muslims often do not eat in front of Muslims who are fasting during Ramadam out of courtesy.
“It is very considerate to do so, but that is their own choice,” he said.
“Practising faith is a person’s free choice. You cannot impose it on anyone.”
