Hmm. Weren’t they respecting the laws in Europe already? Apparently not. From IslamOnline, with thanks to EPG:
LONDON, July 11 (IslamOnline.net) – The European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR) wrapped up its 13th session late Saturday, July 10, with a call to Muslims living in the West to abide by the laws in their respective countries and respects the rights of non-Muslims.
At the conclusion of their annual meeting, held in the London City Hall on July 7-10 at an invitation from London Mayor Ken Livingstone, Muslim scholars made several important recommendations, mostly directed to Muslim communities in the West.
“While abiding by the host country”s laws, Muslims are also asked to form Islamic bodies to organize their personal issues in accordance with Shari`ah,” said the ECFR.
Most importantly, the body recommended that Muslims in the West to spare no legal or peaceful efforts to get the country where they live to recognize Islam as a religion and Muslims as a community that should enjoy full rights.
The recommendations also asked Muslims in the West to respect the lives and properties of non-Muslims.
“Muslims in the West should observe all duties and provide a good example for others in words, actions and behaviours,” said the ECFR.
It also encouraged Muslims in the West to “adopt positive and innovative attitudes on all levels.”
“They should do their utmost to raise the new generations – boys and girls – in a modern Islamic manner through establishing schools, educational and entertainment centres to protect them from deviation.
In other words, create a separate culture, with separate values. All right, but does that include an attachment to Sharia? And what does that suggest for the future of Europe?
