Swedish Islamists Demand Separate Laws

Geez... will the Islamic world ever adapt to the modern world? Will Islamists ever become progressive? The following report is evidence that much of the Islamic world, including the part of it living within the Free World, continues to insist on living in the Dark Ages, a time of barbarism and nonexistence of human rights.

Sweden's largest Muslim organisation has demanded that Sweden introduce separate laws for Muslims, according to Swedish television. Sweden's equality minister Jens Orback called the proposals "completely unacceptable".

The Swedish Muslim Association, which represents around 70,000 Muslims in Sweden, has sent a letter to all Sweden's main political parties suggesting a number of reforms, SVT's Rapport programme reported.

The proposals include allowing imams into state (public) schools to give Muslim children separate lessons in Islam and their parents' native languages. The letter also said that boys and girls should have separate swimming lessons and that divorces between Muslims should be approved by an imam.

The Swedish government, however, told the Muslims off:
"We will not have separate laws in Sweden. In Sweden, we are all equal before the law. In Sweden, we have fought for a long time to achieve gender-neutral laws, and to propose that certain groups should not be treated like others is completely unacceptable."

This is a disturbing example of the attitude of Muslims towards the Free World. They're demanding that they have the right to conduct every part of their lives according to the Koran and Mohammedism and all that.

This attitude cannot stand in the Free World.

If Muslims want to be slaves of Allah; if they want to oppress or be oppressed, then I suggest they move to Iran. The Free World must not capitulate to these despisers of freedom, democracy, the rule of law and human rights.

If Muslims were to be permitted to ignore Free World laws and instead practice Sharia law, that would be wholly intolerable. For example, the Free World doesn't want to see people get their hands chopped off for petty theft. We don't want to allow men to viciously beat, maim and kill women for any reason whatsoever, including Islam. We don't want to allow Muslim mobs to throw rocks at people accused of having done something wrong... without a trial. And we don't want to have Muslim mobs lynching people who are sexual minorities or for any reason whatsoever, for that matter.

I don't care if their religion says this or that. All kinds of religions say this and that, but the Free World doesn't permit just anything. People of various faiths are required to obey laws that are contrary to their faith. Muslims, if they want to live in the Free World, must also obey all laws as must all people, regardless of their faith.

Sharia law? NO! Equality for all? YES!
