Well, let me tell you a little story I witnessed, indirectly. A Christian woman named Hatun Tash uses her own Qur'an for debates at Speaker's Corner, had it stolen by a Muslim, and the cops arrested her, instead of the perpetrator. It took a Christian activist group to get the police to admit their injustice, and she was compensated for it. Being a good Christian, instead of keeping the money for herself, she gave it to the Christian activist group that cleared her name. The UK is Marxist in culture. The English can't be proud, for it offending the Scots and the Welsh. Talking about Anglo-Saxon history and culture is white supremacy. Higher learning institutions give no credit to Anglo-Saxon contributions to the word, with debates often about oppression from the British. I heard of Sharia Law being legally imposed or accepted by British authorities; the two tier policing system.

How can you be an indirect witness? You either saw something or you didn't.

No, pretty sure this is a capitalist country. Care to explain further?

Who did you hear this from? Where and when was it imposed? Because I heard they've got Muslamic ray guns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIPD8qHhtVU

An overview of Sharia law - Roythornes Solicitors - https://www.roythorne.co.uk/site/blog/family-law-blog/an-overview-of-sharia-law Is Keir Starmer a socialist? - https://theconversation.com/is-keir-starmer-a-socialist-232567 UK Tax Rates & Rankings | Taxes in the United Kingdom - https://taxfoundation.org/location/united-kingdom/

The funny thing is, that Sharia "Law" isn't really law, according to British legal experts. UK is a capitalist economy. The culture is quite Marxist. Marxism isn't an economic system. Socialism and communism are theoretical economic systems that never passed the stink test.

From your first link:

"The council has no legal authority in the UK and cannot enforce any penalties; "

Muslims follow their religious leaders like Christians follow their church ministers. Neither have legal powers.

You say that, but honor killings keep happening.

Yes a religious group condoned murder. The OP claimed it is legal. "Sharia Law is being legally imposed." Is a lie.

And I'm not fooled by the "I heard" he added to the front of his statement to attempt to dodge personal responsibility for promoting the lie.

The murders are investigated, and those responsible are found guilty and jailed.

What is legal by British law does not matter to Sharia. Just like Mormons with multiple wives. It is illegal, or not legal, by federal and state laws, but that does that stop Mormons from having multiple wives and grooming children for marriage? No. British Muslims turning to Sharia Law shows they are not assimilating and think British laws are inadequate, which is what the article suggests. I had a conversation with a Muslim who disagrees with US laws and thinks Sharia Laws are better. Sharia Laws are interpreted by elders or leaders of the community. Islam is very heavy in laws and their laws are not based on John Locke, or Immanuel Kant, or whatever.

Claiming Muslims follow their religious laws even when illegal is completely different from your original claim that Sharia law is being legally imposed by British authorities.

If the UK were Marxist, Muslims would be banned- as would Christians.

I heard of Sharia Law being legally imposed

Again, not Marxist.

It is incongruous that he laudes the Norman invasion

"when William the Conqueror crossed the English Channel and put the finishing touches on a unification that had been evolving since the Romans abandoned the island in 410 AD."

which put a foreign power in charge of England including permanently altering the native language with French yet condemns modern immigration because they aren't English.

In political science, a reactionary or a reactionist is a person who holds political views that favor a return to the status quo ante—the previous political state of society—which the person believes possessed positive characteristics that are absent from contemporary society. As a descriptor term, reactionary derives from the ideological context of the left–right political spectrum. As an adjective, the word reactionary describes points of view and policies meant to restore a status quo ante.

Anti-intellectualism is a central tenet of reactionary movements. The truth literally doesn't matter; it's what is in their hearts that counts.

And what is in their hearts is a hatred for people who want to make the world a better place for everyone instead of just their sad, weird little tribe.
