Swedish muslims demand muslim law
2006-04-28
SwedenÂ’s biggest association of Muslims demands the right for Swedish Muslims to practice Sharia. Special laws for marriage and divorce, and public schools teaching Arabic and religion to Muslim children in homogenous groups. These are two of the requests in a letter sent to all the political parties of Parliament yesterday by the Muslim association.

The Muslism association represents approximately 70,000 Muslims. The letter, signed by the chairman, states that freedom of religion is not properly practiced in Sweden. Swedish common law stands above religious law. The Muslim association wants to change this. They want Islamic law, Sharia, to be allowed for MuslimÂ’s in Sweden, especially when it comes to family laws.

SwedenÂ’s Minister of Equal Opportunities, Jens Ohrback, is not impressed. In a comment to news bureau TT, he says that no minority will have special treatment, and that all Swedish citizens should be equal to the law. The Swedish Muslim Council, including nine of SwedenÂ’s Islamic organisation does not support the demands.

#18  I keep thinking that it won't be too long before someone in Europe says "Enough" and starts massive deportations. The first time that happens there will be a flood of followers. The non-elite Euros have had it up to the gills with the Muzzies

#17  If you do not like Swedish law, then you have chosen your country badly. So waddle off to a country that does operate under the sharia law you hold so dear - the shining example of the bestest laws. Pack up and go find a country who's laws match your needs.

.... any movement yet?

#16  Stealing from infidels is a virtue according to Islam. As for adultery, only women get stoned to death.

#13  Of course, this is just the position taken by a small minority, nothing to worry about.

#12  Personally, I'm in favour of Sharia for Muslims.
If they steal, cut off their right hand.
And if they commit adultery stone them to death.
Now, whats wrong with that?

#10  "Sweden's largest Muslim organisation has demanded that Sweden introduce separate laws for Muslims, according to Swedish television."

OK Swedes, carve out a special nation state for 'em in your real estate. T's what they really want.

#8  Common, chairman, you aren't just gonna sit back and take that crap from some blond-haired, gay-lovin, wife swappin' infidel, are you? Push back, and hard.

#7  Hey, they want special laws for muslims, I say give 'em some. How about a sort of reversed version of dhimmitude, where thay can feel free to shut up or be beheaded on the spot?

Special taxes, too.

Oh, you mean that's not what they had in mind?

#6  That's fine I'm sure they would like to impose sharia on everyone anyway.

#4  The recaton was a little stronger than indicated by this Sewden Radio (Scandinavian NPR?) article. The Local, whatever that is, has the following (efl)

Sweden's largest Muslim organisation has demanded that Sweden introduce separate laws for Muslims, according to Swedish television.

The letter provoked an instant, and damning, response from integration and equality minister Jens Orback.

"We will not have separate laws in Sweden. In Sweden, we are all equal before the law. In Sweden, we have fought for a long time to achieve gender-neutral laws, and to propose that certain groups should not be treated like others is completely unacceptable."

"We have freedom of speech, we have the right to opinions and we have the right to make proposals - but if a law is going to be changed, it must be the same for everyone."

#3  I guess they prefer Sweden's winters to Saudi Arabia's summers, because they could have all the sharia they could ever want there.

Of course, the welfare payments would end too.

#2  And they will probably accommodate them.
