The MP for East Ham Stephen Timms has been stabbed twice in the stomach.
The woman who stabbed Stephen Timms was a Muslim. This is clear from that fact that Choudary is a Muslim name and she was wearing Muslim dress. Why would a Muslim stab Stephen Timms? Read the following:

Quote:A charity is launching a campaign to recruit more Muslims to lead Scouting packs across London.Mosaic, formed to encourage young Muslims to engage with society, is hoping to address the lack of adult volunteers to help Scout packs.
The BNP have said Islam is incompatible with modern secular democracy.
============================================
Do you believe this is accurate?
Is there anything about the UK's current system that Muslims would want to change or is everything compatible with Islam as it stands?
If Muslims held the majority of political power, what changes would be made if any?
What would the main differences of judgement be on these matters (fiqh) between the different Muslim sects?
Hardtalk, a 30 minute interview program by the BBC, interviews Mohamed Ali Harrath, Islam Channel chief.
As someone who has been looking closely at Islam, it is quite clear that he is lying throughout. The interviewer, who to be fair must have to cover an awful lot of topics, does not know enough about Islam to do a good job.

This is the guy who claims to reach 2m Muslims in the UK. Not a power for moderation huh?
Good comments below the article too.
If Muslims rose up and through force, or votes (heh!) and implemented Sharia-principled government in the UK, what are the chances it would be a good government? I'm not looking so much at the answer based on religion, but rather at the answer based on reality.
We can be fairly certain that in the case of a Muslim takeover, the resultant government would be of a fundamentalist nature. The closest government to a full implementation of Sharia, other than the Caliphate perhaps, was Taliban-led Afghanistan.
Firstly to make clear my position - I have many gay friends and gay members of my family. My wife and I have supported a gay couple in their attempt to adopt.
So, Islam says that being gay is a sin. It is haram. Right? Allah hates it. Sodomy is one of the worst types of sin in Islam, as far as I can tell from hearsay and from what I've read in your scripture.
There is also the overwhelming cultural aversion to homosexuality. I have never come across a community, that is, a group loosely connected by religion or wealth or interest or occupation, that has more dislike and hatred of gays than Muslims. In a recent poll, although I cannot find the source, 60% of Muslims in the UK want to criminalise homosexuality (I presume both male and female).
You wrote:If you have a situation where someone has disproportionate power over another (without oversight -be it comunal/family or legal), it is inevitable that someone will try to abuse it. Maybe even human nature?
I agree with this. But is it not the case that in any form of Islam the genders have disproportional power?
It would follow from what was quoted that any religion or ideology which does pronounce disproportionate power would inevitably lead to abuse.
My view is that this would not be a good thing and furthermore points to an error in the religion/ideology.
