Few people who read this blog need to be reminded, I’m sure, of how hideous sharia law can be. I’ve blogged numerous times on Pink Triangle (just put “sharia” into the search box top left) about it, and how it’s creeping into the UK.
Most of my postings have not been so much about how sharia law affects gays, but how it affects Muslims themselves – the women, of course.
A friend and fellow blogger pointed me to a video he has since embedded there, which has been posted today, and it makes shocking viewing in places. It deals not with sharia as practised in the UK, using the Arbitration Act to run these kangaroo “courts”, but how it’s delivered in Muslim countries.
It makes you wonder, of course, how long it would be before the punishments depicted there would become commonplace if our rapidly growing Muslim population reached a critical power mass and introduced sharia as the primary law of the United Kingdom. A long time a-comin’? Maybe, but possible.
Setting the images against Lennon’s “Imagine” gives them even more impact.
The video also features the front cover from Gay & Lesbian Humanist magazine from autumn 2005, which led to something of a row in gay humanist circles, showing, as it did, what it called “The sick face of Islam”, and featuring hangings of gay teens in Iran and news billboards about the 7/7 bombings in London.
I was editor of the magazine at the time, and came in for a lot of flak from cuddly Lefties who displayed more political correctness than common sense.
You don’t need to be gay to enjoy that magazine, by the way. It’s online only now, and you can see it by going to the Pink Triangle blog and clicking in the sidebar, or by clicking the icon below.
- Censorship
Yours truly was censored on a Yahoo! Groups discussion list recently for using a word. The word was “Muzzies”. The odd thing is that the censoring organisation was the UK’s Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association (GALHA), which, as its name suggests,...
- How Do You Solve A Problem Like Sharia?
It’s reported today that there are now 85 sharia courts in Britain. This is 17 times higher than previously accepted, says a Daily Mail story. OK, we know they’re not legally recognised and any judgments have to be ratified. But that, apparently,...
- Stormin’ Noman Has A Go At Sharia
Our old friend the homophobic Norman Tebbit – sorry, Lord Tebbit – has put the right-wing cat among the Muslim pigeons with a remark about the hideous sharia law that is creeping into Britain. The Daily Mail tells us how Tebbit has likened sharia...

- Preaching Sharia Is Working To Overthrow The Government
Sharia is a form of government. Therefore, preaching for Sharia is CLEARLY, an attempt to overthrow the government. Jihad, burqas and Sharia all go against human rights. If we really believed in what we say we believe we (the countries of the West) would...
