What a scary time we live in.

One man beheaded this morning in France, now at least 19 people killed in attacks on 'possibly' 2 hotels in Sousse, Tunisia. That is what is being reported at the moment, they are believed to be tourists.

It must be terrifying for those on holiday being told to barricade themselves in their rooms.

Just awful.

Anniebach. I have no fear of sharia law, and it certainly won't happen in my lifetime or my DGC. and that's all I care about.
If/ when it did, it will come through numbers ( read breeding)
This is from an Islamic website.
Marry women who are loving and PROLIFIC in giving birth, as I shall out number the other prophets (nation) through you.

Written by a professor of peace studies at Bradford University.
Again, the numbers are startling. I had no idea this was happening on such a scale.

Ana sorry, misunderstood. I hadn't noticed the reference to shari law, blame the heat and other agitations.

Anya Tue 30-Jun-15 19:42:38

Sharia Law

Anya Tue 30-Jun-15 19:40:52

Actually AB I think you are being naive. I am not arguing because 'I enjoy it'. I do enjoy an intellectually stimulating duscussions but not with those who simply call others rude names.

Ana Tue 30-Jun-15 19:32:23

Can't find any reference to 'Shari law' on the internet.

And I note your link refers to 'Sharia law' dj.

God, I'm heart-broken.

Anniebach Tue 30-Jun-15 19:26:08

Not bothering to reply to you jingle so sigh away, I can't be bothered with smart arses who patronise, offend and insult

Anniebach Tue 30-Jun-15 19:23:16

Anya, I am aware of the brutality, I did not support Shari law taking the place of British law, surely it's common sense, it can only happen if the majority want it, this is a fact , I think you are just arguing because you enjoy it. Little wonder I have no fear of shari law becoming the law of this country with the fears expressed here

"The vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and the mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. We also regard calls for the death of members of our armed forces as extremist."

The government definition of extremism.

Any extremists on Gransnet?

Anya Tue 30-Jun-15 19:12:37

Anniebach I find your support of Sharia if 'it will be the choice of the people' absolutely terrifying. I doubt you know what Sharia Law entails.

Do you really accept that a married victim of rape can be stoned to death for adultery?

Sigh! hmm She means, if a child suddenly becomes homophobic, that child may have been got at by ISIL. Just one of many signs to watch out for.

Anniebach Tue 30-Jun-15 19:05:23

Good grief, has the woman never the views of school children on homosexuality . Many schools have a no bullying policy based on anti gay behaviour

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 30-Jun-15 19:04:51

I don't think her own personal persuasions should come into it. She's doing her job. And being against gay marriage doesn't make her homophobic.

Ana Tue 30-Jun-15 19:03:29

Being against same sex marriage is not the same as being intolerant of homosexuality.

durhamjen Tue 30-Jun-15 19:00:41

However, jingl, she voted against samesex marriage twice, so should she be investigating herself?

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 30-Jun-15 18:58:19

That does actually make sense durhamjen. She explained it with, "Asked to come up with an example of behaviour that might be a cause for concern, she said: "Sadly, Isis are extremely intolerant of homosexuality."

Anniebach Tue 30-Jun-15 18:58:01

Petra, if it happens as you fear it will be the choice of the people , this is not a Christian country why do you fear people who left the Christian church would suddenly become devout Muslims?

durhamjen Tue 30-Jun-15 18:51:13

Nicky Morgan is asking for all teachers to monitor extremist action in schools.If they noticed any, they should tell the head, or the Department for Education. When asked for an example of what she meant she said homophobia. She does not even know what she is talking about.
With someone like her in charge of rooting out Muslim extremism, no wonder they are worried and not likely to march.

durhamjen Tue 30-Jun-15 18:47:02

Sharia or Shari'ah means islamic law, so if you say sharia law you are saying shari law law.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 30-Jun-15 18:44:36

Why did they have to pick on an 81 year old pensioner? What did he do to deserve that? sad

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 30-Jun-15 18:42:32

BAck to the far more important subject in question, please.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 30-Jun-15 18:41:46

granjura, I requested to GNHQ that that post be deleted. They queried the request and I left it up to them.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 30-Jun-15 18:39:02

Actually soontobe I think you are far from being an idiot. Many of your posts come over as very sensible and grounded. My post was ridiculous. Apologies.
