Clearly you can't bring yourself to actually just say "correct," and that's my point. Where is the evidence to back up Herb's inflammatory assertion that Muslim groups in Europe are "demanding...the acceptance of honour killings."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155572025941898375.post-88101955524542815622010-12-16T15:16:53.995-08:002010-12-16T15:16:53.995-08:00It's well established that Sharia law has been...It's well established that Sharia law has been called for in several democratic nations...being as death is the penalty for several crimes under this system, I think that Herbs statement is correct in essence, even if the direct statement 'right to murder women' was not made. After all - it is not a watered down version of Sharia that was demanded - despite the fact that limited Sharia was all that was granted in England.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15366684940231133166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155572025941898375.post-71750831767074490352010-12-16T14:28:10.034-08:002010-12-16T14:28:10.034-08:00This column implies some Muslim communities in Eur...This column implies some Muslim communities in Europe, presumably through leaders or community groups, are collectively asking for acceptance of the right to engage in honour killings.

Or does the historical record show that settlement by large groups of Mohammedans eventually leads to the subjugation and eventual eclipse of established political and legal systems...is there precedent for this kind of migration into a democracy?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15366684940231133166noreply@blogger.com
