Sharia Law In United Kingdom

By Sikander Hayat

There is over emphasis in the British media about the implementation of sharia law in Uk. The debate has been started by a Christian but Muslims have been entangled in the resultiing fiasco.
First of all, the law in discussion will not apply to any non muslim so any scare mongering on that front is completely wrong.
Saying that, I as a Muslim do not want any parts of sharia law to be implemented in UK for the following reasons.
Muslims who live in UK have come from countures where sometimes freedoms are curtailed, so they do not want that repeated in this country as well.
Any changes to the current UK law should only happen as they ussually happen. When a part of law is found to be redundant, it is replaced with another sensible law which takes its crdence from the pople of the country , not some devine power.
I belive in God, but I do not belive in an Islamic, Christain ,Jewish or for that matter God belonging to any any organized form of religion. This so called God of organized religion has been abused by the peole who claim to speak for him and this must stop. A UK move towards sharia law albeit only for muslims is a step exactly in the wrong direction.
Tabloid press in England is playing with fire by stoking anger gainst muslims in UK. Muslims already are living under a climate of fear in most western countries and a debate started by a Christain should not have been used for mudslinging at muslims of this country.

India: The Terrorists Within

A day after major Indian cities were placed on high alert following blasts in the IT city of Bangalore, as many as 17 blasts ripped through Ahmedabad, capital of the affluent western Indian state of Gujarat . Some 30 people were killed, some at hospitals where bombs were timed to go off when the injured from other blasts were being brought in. (Later, in Surat, a center for the world's diamond industry, a bomb was defused near a hospital and two cars packed with explosives were found in in the city's outskirts.) Investigators pointed fingers at the usual Islamist suspects: Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Bangladesh- based Harkat-ul Jihadi Islami (HUJI) and the indigenous Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). But even as the police searched for clues, the Ahmedabad attacks were owned up by a group calling itself the " Indian Mujahideen. " Several TV news stations received an email five minutes before the first blasts in Ahmedabad. The message repo...

Pakistan Army Must Not Intervene In The Current Crisis - Who To Blame For the Present Crisis in Pakistan ?

By Sikander Hayat Another day of agony and despair as Pakistanis live through a period of uncertainty but still I believe that army must not intervene in this crisis. These are the kind of circumstances when army need to show their resolve of not meddling in the political sphere of the country. No doubt that there will be people in the corridors of power and beyond who will be urging the army to step in and ‘save’ the country but let me tell you that country will only be saved if army stays away and let the politicians decide the future of the country, even if it means that there will be clashes on the streets of Islamabad. With free media in place, people are watching with open eyes the parts being played by each and every individual in this current saga. They know who is right and who is wrong and they will eventually decide who stays in power when the next general election comes. Who said that democracy was and orderly and pretty business ; it is anything but. Democracy ...
