Oh, friggin' lovely. Well. UK will be a dhimmi state, I guess. They thought the bombings were bad under the IRA troubles?
Sharia is SCARY dark-ages nonsense...I fail to understand how tolerating intolerance in the name of tolerance accomplishes anything but putting one's own head on the chopping block?
More young Muslims back sharia, says poll

A growing minority of young Muslims are inspired by political Islam and feel they have less in common with non-Muslims than their parents do, a survey reveals today. The poll, carried out for the conservative-leaning Policy Exchange thinktank, found support for Sharia law, Islamic schools and wearing the veil in public is significantly stronger among young Muslims than their parents.
In the survey of 1,003 Muslims by the polling company Populus through internet and telephone questionnaires, nearly 60% said they would prefer to live under British law, while 37% of 16 to 24-year-olds said they would prefer sharia law, against 17% of those over 55. Eighty-six per cent said their religion was the most important thing in their lives.
Nearly a third of 16 to 24-year-olds believed that those converting to another religion should be executed, while less than a fifth of those over 55 believed the same. The survey claimed that British authorities and some Muslim groups have exaggerated the problem of Islamophobia and fuelled a sense of victimhood among some Muslims: 84% said they believed they had been well treated in British society, though only 28% thought the authorities had gone over the top in trying not to offend Muslims. Munira Mirza, a doctoral student at Kent University who wrote the report, said: "The government should engage with Muslims as citizens, not through their religious identity."
Seriously, how IS this all going to end up? Are we really going to have to eventually get into an all-out war of the freedom-minded (secular and actually tolerant religions) against these fanatics?
This just doesn't seem like it's going anywhere good at all. IMO, the best solution would be to pull the fiscal rug out from under their home bases by getting OFF foreign oil and going nuclear as much as possible, but that'll take a while.
And no, this isn't anti-Muslims, etc, etc...this is just, well...how ARE we eventually going to have to deal with this?
