19. Worth pointing out that no-one is 'enforcing Shariah law in the capital'

Thu Sep 18, 2014, 01:35 PM

Sep 2014

There are a few youths going around, shouting at people in the street. That is not 'enforcing' anything, whether they're Muslim or Christian. It's a small religious gang movement - but they're not armed. They are insignificant.

Choudary is, foremost, a parasite - he says the most outrageous thing possible, to get publicity, and, he hopes, some money from a nutter with more money than sense. You can look him up on DU, for the publicity stunts he's pulled in the past. It's possible he does believe what he says, but he's no more representative of Muslims than the Westboro Baptist Church of Christians.
