    Nothing new about allowing people to choose to use religious courts for civil matters, mate.

    Are you familiar with Beth Din? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7233040.stm

    So you ARE accusing me of lying because you can’t be bothered to click a frigging link? grow the F up. There are over 500 sources on that link, you didn’t read ONE of them.

    No one has called you a liar, and there’s no need to be abusive.

    Please either quote where I called you a liar, or admit that you are mistaken.

    In grown-up debate between people of good faith, the burden of evidence lies with the person making the assertion.

    That’s how it is the world over, so please learn to deal with it.

    I don’t know about you, but I’d rather see the resources of our Police and security services used to identify, locate and neutralise those who actually pose a threat to life and limb in the UK – irrespective of creed and colour – rather than being wasted in pandering to people’s prejudices.

    No UK government has ever advocated or supported Sharia law in this country, and what laws foreign governments choose to implement in their own domain is their own business.

    Large Chinese or American companies are hardly likely to set up a European HQ in a country that is outside the single market.

    It makes no commercial sense whatsoever.

    Most foreign company HQs in Switzerland were established as a means of reducing the amount of tax paid at home. The same thing happens in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

    Nice rant, John.

    Just so we understand one another, are you giving me to understand that each and every individual Muslim around the world – around 20% of the world’s population – shares a common purpose that poses an acute and present danger to the UK and ‘other countries’?

    Or is it just the ones who live in places where you’d rather they didn’t?

    Yes, the Swiss look after everyone else’s money. 🙂

    Saudia Arabia is also a very wealthy country, so should we emulate them and become a fundamentalist absolute monarchy?

    Without wanting to sound like a racist, if these men don’t like the rules in the country they know where they can go.

    And where do you propose to send other types of people who don’t like the rules in this country, such as tax avoiders, persistent speeders and those who flout the law regarding hunting with hounds?

    Fair’s fair.

    Does bullsh1t have a different meaning in the UK since I left?

    & like I said before, the site lists all it’s sources etc. Did you bother to read any of them? Or are you waiting for a website that supports your view?

    What is my view? I haven’t mentioned it at all, so I’m mightily impressed by your ability to read minds via the Internet.

    I asked whether you could provide evidence for your assertion that didn’t come from a source with an agenda whether pro or anti.

    You failed to do so – claiming, rather curiously, that it is up to me to find the evidence to support your assertion via links posted on the website of a pro-gun lobbyist – and now you’ve started cutting and pasting NRA propaganda.

    It certainly smells like bullsh1t to me.
