Looking at Sharia.
What is Sharia?
Reported by Sharia Watch UK, Sharia is the word for the moral and religious code, as well as the legal code, for those who follow the Islamic faith.
Sharia deals with several topics which are addressed by secular law; these include crime, politics, and economics. Sharia also governs personal matters such as sexual intercourse, hygiene, diet, prayer, everyday etiquette and fasting.
Though interpretations of sharia vary between cultures, in its strictest and most historically coherent definition it is considered the infallible law of God—as opposed to the human interpretation of the laws.
Animal
Welfare?
As reported in Australia and the UK, Sharia goes way beyond food and halal but the point we want to make here is that all of the halal certification organisations are operating under sharia law and desire for sharia law to be accepted as a part of our mainstream society. Money that is paid out in fees for halal certification is used to fund in part or whole the push for sharia law in the UK as what is also reportedly happening in Australia.
On the Islamic website muslimvillage.com (March 5 2011) the secretary of the Australian Islamic Mission, Siddiq Buckley is quoted as saying,
“There are practical examples of [sharia] here already. We have Muslim schools, mosques, funeral parlours, shops and businesses. We’ve got abattoirs, Islamic charities, Islamic financial institutions. There are so many things – halal meals served on airlines. This is all part of Sharia.”
Such as what we are witnessing here in the UK

Increasingly the media is reporting the push for sharia law in the western world. While we might not agree with or endorse all the comments in these examples, we display them here to show you it is a real issue in our nation today. See the links below as examples.
The following links are reports of the push for sharia law in the UK and examples of its implementation:
Wanna Buy a Home? . . . best become a Muslim
“Ask any Muslim leader and he (there are only “hes”) will tell you Sharia law is coming to the West and there’s nothing the West can do about it. He will also declare that democracy will be abolished, the Islam faith will be adopted by all and non-compliance will unfortunately require the removal of your head.”
The Last Free Man In Captivity
“That would be Geert Wilders. Here is a man who spends his life under armed guard. He has done so for years . . . “
Furious debate as teachers . . . ordered to wear hijab or face sack
“Two female teachers from the Islamic College of South Australia have gone to court to fight against being unfairly dismissed based, in part, on their attire being considered inappropriate.”
Anti-Islam campaigner coming to Australia
“Ahead of his visit to Australia, far-right Dutch MP Geert Wilders talks to Tony Jones about his opposition to Muslim immigrants in his country.”
Geert Wilders’ warnings on Islam
“Dutch politician Geert Wilders tells Jason Morrison he wants to warn Australia against allowing the mass immigration of people from Muslim countries because Islam and freedom are incompatible.”
“It seems that there is a double standard when it comes to free speech in Australia. Dutch politician Geert Wilders’ public speaking tour has run into constant problems as venues continue to pull out or refuse to host his events.”
“. . . Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders’s visit comes as concerns about curbs on free speech are building along with a sometimes related debate about the Muslim community’s integration into the Australian mainstream.”
“If you needed proof that free speech in the UK is on the run look at what happened when Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders came to town.”
If Wilders is wrong, explain this conference
“And when you check precisely what a number of the speakers have said, you come up with a picture of Islam remarkably similar to the one Geert Wilders is trying to warn against.”
