Muslims Threaten Punishment for Alcohol Sales in London

Dozens of Muslim protestors gathered to demand that businesses stop selling alcohol in a popular East London area yesterday.
The group, led by former Al-Muhajiroun leader Anjem Choudary, warned restaurants and shops in the Brick Lane area that they face 40 lashes if they continue to sell the product, which is banned under Sharia Law.
Around 60 men and women in burkhas handed over warning letters to Muslim-owned businesses in the area after the protest was initially delayed by a small number of English Defence League members staging a counter-protest.
Controversial cleric Choudary was at the forefront of the protest. The Al-Muhajiroun group he formerly led has been banned under terrorism laws.
Organisers told The Times the protest was held yesterday to coincide with the large number of office workers who would be in the area for Christmas parties.
Choudary told the crowd: 'The shops are run by Muslims and they know they are selling alcohol and they know the sale and consumption of alcohol is completely prohibited.
'We cannot live among the non-Muslims and see this evil take place.'
He told those gathered it was his wish that Sharia law, banning alcohol, should be enforced in Britain.

He also defended three 'fantastic' men who were jailed last week for attacking drinkers while on a 'Muslim patrol'.
He was referring to an incident in which Jordan Horner and another Islamic extremist told a couple they could not hold hands while walking down the street, because it was in a 'Muslim area'.
The radicals also attacked a group of men drinking in the road, and told a woman she would face 'hell fire' because of the way she was dressed.
Horner, 19, Ricardo MacFarlane, 36, and a 23-year-old man who cannot be named for legal reasons were sentenced to 68 weeks, 12 months and 24 weeks in prison respectively.
Groups associated with Choudary were last month labelled the 'single biggest gateway to terrorism in recent British history'.
The radical Islamist has been identified as the link between groups who encourage the safe passage of British and European Muslims into Syria where they join Al Qaeda-linked forces.
According to a study by Hope Not Hate, organisations affiliated with Choudary have encouraged in the region of 80 young British Muslims to join the fighting in Syria.
They may also have had a hand in the recruitment of 300 more on the continent, the report said.
As well as highlighting Choudary role in encouraging young Muslims to fight in Syria, the report also established a connection between the preacher's al-Muhajiroun network and high profile terrorists, including those responsible for the 7/7 London bombings.
The report recommended that Mr Choudary should be considered a 'serious player' in the promotion and recruitment of young Muslims to terrorist cells.

Dr Usama Hasan, of the anti-extremist think-tank the Quilliam Foundation, told the East London Advertiser: 'In Islamic teaching you shouldn't drink alcohol, but you can't impose Islamic law on other people.
'This is a democracy. To try and impose Sharia by force, which is their stated aim, is completely stupid and against Islamic teaching.'
An East London Mosque spokesman reportedly condemned the protest as a publicity stunt and politicians in the area described it as 'provocative'.
Labour group leader Sirajul Islam said before the protest: 'Everyone has a right to peaceful protest but I urge the Shariah Project to think carefully about the impact their actions will have.'

Telling a Brit he can't drink? Yeah, that'll work.  [-(

Of all the religions, Islam is the one I dislike the most, extremist by nature. It wants women to have complete subservience towards men, and men towards god.

I despise it

[SilentFutility]

Why have they not been jailed for threatening violence in writing, which absolutely is illegal in the UK?

I must have missed that part.

It is in the headline of the article.

In any case, here:

40 lashes by whom? who is just going to say "okay, whip me?" This is stupid.

This reminds me of a picture I found a few days ago. //http://i.imgur.com/mzGD7ul.jpg

'We cannot live among the non-Muslims and see this evil take place.'

Then don't.  Bye.

40 lashes by whom? who is just going to say "okay, whip me?" This is stupid.

It's just their way of saying "We're here, we're many, and we're not afraid of you Kafir." If they had injected Sharia into the law and government, they could use some special Sharia police to enforce that 40 lashes punishment, like in Aceh. Hopefully that won't happen in UK.  :-|

Wouldn't want to offend the mujahideen in the east London mosque in case they start rioting.

However I must stress this is the daily mail we're talking about here. They will literally take anything remotely negative and blow it out of proportion. Not saying that's what they've done, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a passing comment from some loon and suddenly it's turned into a conspiracy.

These Muslims are just trying to fit in with British society.  They probably immigrated so they could have freedom to practice their religion.  The British should not take away their freedom because they are Muslims.  They should be allowed to practice their religion.

And the second any of them actually try to back up what they say, any retaliation becomes a hate crime against Muslims. Love these guys.

Since the 12th century Muslims have tried to invade Europe and weren't successful. Now they're doing it through the womb. Europe is lost. Time for the brave remaining Europeans to cross over the ocean if they want to save their way of life.

They come from Paksitan where they have every freedom to practice their religion. They came to the UK because they get more money.

Yeah, we'll just have kill the primitive natives again and we'll be able to build a new empire. :)
