And who needs the bother of democracy, really?

Ghost of a Flea has the story:

Islam4UK,a British Muslim vanguardist organization with apparent links to the banned al-Muhajiroun, is to hold an "incendiary rally" in central London on October 31.

“The group declared: “We hereby request all Muslims in the United Kingdom, in Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Glasgow and all other places to join us and collectively declare that as submitters to Almighty Allah, we have had enough of democracy and man-made law and the depravity of the British culture.
“On this day we will call for a complete upheaval of the British ruling system its members and legislature, and demand the full implementation of Shari’ah in Britain.””

H/t to Jay Currie. One wonders if these illiberal religionists ( god bless their little hearts ) grasp the irony of protesting democracy and the rule of common law and liberalism ( in theory, at least ) in a country which only allows them to protest such things because of the elements of that society which these particular Islamists want to see removed.

But then, if intelligence and reason were their forte, they wouldn’t be in the Shari’ah business to begin with, now would they?

Oh what has become of all the simple straight-forward, genuine, honest-to-goodness, bona fide causes such as communist insurgencies,fascist coups, anti-colonial protests and anti-nuke demonstrations?
