(ANSAmed) – CAIRO, NOVEMBER 9 – Thousands of protesters gathered Friday in Cairo’s Tahrir Square calling for the introduction of Sharia law in Egypt. Groups of Salafis asked for it to be the principle source of legislation in the country’s constitution.

Protesters, including many men with long beards and women in veils, are collecting signatures for a petition in which they ask for the Sharia to become ”the basis of all laws”.

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood says new constitution must be based on Islamic Shariah law

Washington Post:

CAIRO — Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood said Wednesday it is committed to enshrining Islamic Shariah law as the main source of a new constitution, seeking to mollify ultraconservative Islamists who accuse the group of not advocating strongly enough for Islamic rule.

Islamic influence in Egypt’s governance is the most inflammatory issue following last year’s ousting of longtime President Hosni Mubarak. Islamists have swept elections since then, and the Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi is the president — but the Brotherhood faces criticism from even more stringent Islamists as much as from liberals.

FRENCH POLICE GUARDING SATIRIST CHARLIE HEBDO BUILDING IN WAKE OF MOHAMED CARTOON RELEASE

Folks, there is no easy way out of this.

As long as it’s necessary for police to safeguard a building from being firebombed do to irate Muslims, then the mocking of their religious figures, as distasteful as it is, is paramount and needs to continue and be defended. No one group can be allowed to intimidate others through violence from expressing an opinion. You let it slip here, then free speech is doomed for good.

UPDATE: Charlie Hebdo’s website hacked, via Blazing Cat Fur:

Riot police were guarding the offices of a satirical magazine in Paris last night as it prepared to publish cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed.

Charlie Hedbo’s HQ in the French capital was firebombed last year after it published an issue it claimed had been guest-edited by Mohammed.

Despite the attack, it has now decided to print further drawings, including one of the Prophet in a wheelchair being pushed by a Jewish Rabbi.

The building of the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe

——————————

Anjem Choudary, the British islamist leader and professed sympathizer of Bin Laden, will give a speech with the title: “Divine (islamic) or German law?” on Wednesday in front of the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe.

This is what he announced in an E-mail, as the newspaper “Die Welt” learned. After this, a demonstration is to take place in favor of the introduction of the Islamic Sharia law.

According to the announcement, Choudary will appear in the late morning and speak about Sharia. Other radical islamists, among them representatives of the group “Islam für Deutschland” (Islam for Germany) are also expected to give a speech.

The announcement made by the islamists states that “This court has the presiding role and is the witness of the criminalization of those who want to protect the honor of the prophet Mohammed, and of the oppression of those who want to practice their religion”.

'Law is biased': Dr Al-Saffar was told he must pay maintenance to his ex-wife‘Law is biased’: Dr Al-Saffar was told he must pay maintenance to his ex-wife

A Muslim hospital consultant was told yesterday that he must pay his ex-wife maintenance even though under Islamic rules he believes he owes her nothing.

A judge told Dr Zaid Al-Saffar that he must follow ‘the rule in this country’ and share his money.

The Appeal Court decision means Dr Al-Saffar must pay £60,000 to his former wife, academic Hanan Al-Saffar.

The ruling sounded a warning to Muslim couples who believe their marriages are ordered according to sharia law and agree to be bound by Islamic courts.

Lord Justice Ward told Dr Al-Saffar: ‘The rule in this country is that you share and the starting point is equal division.

‘You came out of the marriage without having made your wife any substantial capital payment.’

He added: ‘Life is sometimes hard; do not be consumed with bitterness.’

But Dr Al-Saffar said after the case: ‘By playing the system and pretending to be a victim she got everything, which I think is totally unfair.

‘Family law in this country is biased against Muslim people.’

Sharia4Belgium threatens to kill Geert, lies about the history of Europe, demands sharia for all

A lot of people put in a lot of time and work to make this video available to the anglo-sphere. People differ widely on how, or even if they wish to be represented when thanking them for their work. When I am not certain what they want, I do not say anything at all, as the consequence of publicly standing against Islam can vary from inconvenient to lethal. In this case, suffice it to say that I thank all the people who translated it (both of you) and edited for subtitles, (Gates of Vienna who does more work for the general welfare than anyone I know). In fact, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who send tips in, offer translations etc.

I sometimes am not able to do all the things that I would like to do right when material is sent to me, as I have to work etc. also. But I really do appreciate all the time, effort and thought that goes in to the tips, translations and thoughts people send me on these matters every day. It is a very wide and genuinely diverse group of people, united in a desire for continued individual liberty, who send this material in.

Thank you all.

May reason, truth and liberty prevail.
