Many times we have seen Muslims refusing to stand in court, because they recognize only Sharia, which they regard as divine law, as opposed to “manmade law.” It is rare, however, to see a judge actually ordering one of these Islamic supremacists to stand. Is he aware that in doing so, he is forcing Ricardo McFarlane to transgress a tenet of Islam, and as such has become an “Islamophobe”? Apparently not, since he said: “That isn’t in breach of any religious principles I’m aware of.”
Meanwhile, British authorities should become aware of and study the fact that so many converts to Islam get the idea that their new religion makes them contemptuous of the authorities of their home country. But they won’t.
“‘Get up. This is not a court of religion’: Judge blasts Muslim convert who refuses to stand as he faces charges of promoting sharia law in Oxford Street,” by Amie Gordon, Mailonline, August 29, 2017 (thanks to Steve):
A Muslim convert accused of preaching sharia law in central London was ordered to stand up for a judge who told him: ‘This is not a court of religion.’
Ricardo McFarlane, 30, allegedly breached an ASBO made in February 2014, which barred him from approaching members of the public ‘in order to promote sharia law’.
McFarlane and a group of up to 20 other men are said to have set up a stall outside Topshop in Oxford Street on March 25 last year and called for strict Islamic laws to be imposed across the UK.
He is also said to have gone to Tooting Broadway Station on April 4 and Kingsland Road in Dalston on April 16, 2016, to set up similar stalls.
He denies one count of breach of an ASBO and was due to stand trial at Southwark Crown Court today.
The bearded defendant, wearing a green and gold robe, told the court usher he would not stand for ‘any man’ before the hearing began.
Judge Martin Beddoe noticed that McFarlane, who is on conditional bail, did not stand up when he entered the courtroom.
‘If Mr McFarlane isn’t going to treat this court with respect then I might have to deal with him differently than to release him on bail,’ he said before a break in proceedings.
He denies one count of breach of an ASBO and was due to stand trial at Southwark Crown Court today
Roy Hedlam, defending, said: ‘Because of his religious belief he believes there is only one person who he should bow to.’
Judge Beddoe continued: ‘That is as may be, but this isn’t a court of religion, this is a secular court and it expects to be treated with respect.
‘That isn’t in breach of any religious principles I’m aware of.’
McFarlane stood up in the dock while judge Beddoe was speaking, prompting him to say: ‘He’s very kindly standing up for me because I’m about to go.’
The defendant stood up in the dock during the rest of the hearing.
His trial was adjourned until the week beginning 11 September because a witness was unable to attend court.
Judge Beddoe said: ‘I’m sorry your case hasn’t been able to advance today, but you know the reasons why. It is now in the warned list for the 11 September.’…
Good day for a jihad terror trial.

UK: Muslim refuses to stand for judge, is ordered: “Get up. This is not a court of religion.”
……………………………..
Bravo Judge Beddoe!
And I am glad to see that there are charges for preaching the imposition of Shari’ah law in Britain in the first place.
Nigel GFF says
A good day for a trial indeed, Mr Spencer, 9/11.
Eternal rest…
John Forbes says
It seems as though t is getting harder & harder to apply the Countries laws !
The calls for SHARIA are getting more frequent as the percentage of Muslims grows. In the UK NOW Mohammed is now the most common name for new born male babies .
The day when Muslims outnumber the Indigenous British appears to be not many years off.
I still see Britain as an Islamic state of one form or another not long after the Queen Passes away !
Bee says
First born sons to muslimes are, I believe, always named Mo ham hed..
Jacqueleen` says
Great observation and I thoroughly agree.
epistemology says
A great and courageous judge indeed. Promoting bloody sharia in public is defo anti-social behaviour. We’ve got to get rid of the sharia promoters in the civilized world.
Tom says
In Britainistan the Judge will soon be forced out for being islamophobe. Just watch.
Duncan says
I think McFarlane and all sharia muslims are Europhobic…..; how’s that for ‘turn-about’…??
balam says
Muslims in general are criminally INSANE. Mohammad who is the perfect role model for Muslims suffered from a number of mental Illnesses .Hence ,what else could one expect from his devout followers.
frank anderson says
Balam, “criminally insane” means they are NOT legally responsible for their murders, mutilations and rapes. The label and diagnosis of “criminally insane” is a ticket to defeat the criminal justice system and let these evil people do their evil work with little or no limit. They know that murder etc. are violations of law and do it anyway. Because that is what they are taught to do from the earliest ages throughout their lives, 5 times a day. If they won’t respect us, at least they can fear the legal consequences of their actions.
gravenimage says
True, Frank.
balam says
Thank you frank.The word EVIL could be more appropriate. With Mohammad as the perfect role model for Muslims {who left NO SIN uncommitted} then what else can one expect from his followers. Mohammad was more like the INDIAN GURU who raped women and now in jailed for 20 years. He was even worse because he killed thousands of Innocent people .He is the one who sowed the weed according to the parable by Jesus. How true though.
Donald R Laster Jr says
They are not insane. The know exactly what they are doing and have been taught it is acceptable to despite the local rules and laws. There is difference.
mortimer says
Seconding gravenimage.
Judge Martin Beddoe should get a decoration and a promotion.

Amy Smithe says
No one has to accept the inhumanity of Sharia Law or anyone else’s law in their own country! It is muslims that have to accept that the world is NOT going to be like they are, nor should we be! We have every right to expect that if they want to live in OUR countries, they accept the laws, assimilate to the country and customs or DO NOT GO THERE! What idiocy is it to think that everyone will bow down to the insanity of islam, which is a totalitarian governmental system of living that subjugates and forces their people into dark-age ways of living that are NOT accepted in the modern age of civilization!! Where have they been living; in a cave? If they insist on their way then they have to leave and go where they are accepted; like back to the Middle East in a far desert somewhere leaving the rest of the world alone to be free and live as God made us to be free to…the real God that is! These muslims are so brain-washed and weird in their beliefs, twisted in an evil way of thinking and they must realize that no one with a true mind and heart would want to be anything like them! But they have a right to be as they are as long as they DO NOT push their ways and kill others!. We have the right to NOT be as they are, period!! SO WHY THE HECK IS EVERYONE NOT TELLING THEM TO HUSH UP, OBEY THE LAWS OF WHERE THEY ARE OR GO BACK TO THE MIDDLE EAST, IF THEY CANNOT LIVE AS THE REST OF US DO? THEY MUST BE PUT IN THEIR PLACE and TOLD NO!!!!, WE ARE NOT DOING AS they want! FREEDOM IS FREEDOM…SUBJUGATION AND EVIL IS JUST THAT TOO! SAY NO TO ISLAM AND TOTALITARIANISM!~~~~AND YES TO FREEDOM, YOUR OWN FAITH AND WAY OF LIVING!
Bob says
It is a law of terror !!!
Dawn says
Goodfor you judge !
dumbledoresarmy says
Yes.
marina says
Finally a brave judge. We need more like him to put these muzzies in their place.
Michael Copeland says
Who was it whom Mohammed told not to drive his camels so fast?
That is right: it was his “black slave called Anjasha”.
(Bukhari 8.73.182).
Andy says
The first thing that came in my mind with this disrespectful moslem in the court was how there are disrespectful sports players that won’t stand for the National Anthem of the country that gave them everything!
They don’t realize (or they do and just don’t care) People fought and died for the love of there nation.So people can be free, and here we have a moslem who want’s his sharia law, Well Damn well go to Saudi Arabia or some other Sharia majority country and GET OUT OF OURS!!!
so these pieces of trash can
Andy says
GO TO HELL!!!
frank anderson says
Same thing?
Bob says
And off subject, I admit, but WHY do these people have to look so dirty? Ugly, I can understand, but why unwashed?
steve says
Judge bent over backwards for this fool, If a British man had stayed sitting there would have been a different outcome. Why is everyone so frightened of ”THE MUSLIM”………….sod ’em
Greyhound Fancier says
Obviously, the fear is that the Mohammedans will go jihadi. Soothing them to prevent that is the order of the day.
Robeaver says
They blow up people. Run them over. Cause riots. Stab people.
Amy Smithe says
In a REALLY SLIM way the court and some people think of them as a religion…well, if they are of a religion it is the one of satan and not of anything good! Thus the world will not succumb to them unless we all are over taken by insanity! It is a group of people that are under such evil methods and belief systems that actually think they do not have to be like anyone else because they are ‘THE’ only people that belong on the earth in their crazy way of living, thinking and believing!! Muhammad was a terrorist that killed his way through the countries he went to and demanded allegiance….or off with the heads! What kind of leader is that but a dark and evil one. What kind of people are stupid enough to follow such a person or a series of books that follow such evil behavior and treat their people like things? I do not care who it offends, it is the truth and the truth sets us free…free of evil and subjugation!! Freedom allows each person to decide for themselves what they will believe, how they shall live, where they shall live and how…if that conflicts with everyone else they must go where they can be free to live as they wish and others to do the same! How many thousands of years have humans been around and not already know that?
Donald R Laster Jr says
This is why people need to understand that Islam is not a religion. That is part of the deception Islam uses to advance its “take over of the world” agenda. Islam is a theocracy – a government with its laws given by its god Hubal (allah means “the god” it is not a name) as given by its ruler Mohammad. An Islamic is a citizen of the State of Islam and is dedicated to a war that is 1400 years old. No citizen of Islam has fealty to State not under the total control of Islam. And Shar’iah law is a civil law of the State of Islam. All citizens of Islam are a threat. Some are just sleeper cells waiting to be activated.

europe’s worst thrash ended up in england, formerly known as ‘great’.
david jones says
you are an unmitigated idiot England was never called great, the Great in Great Britain was designated by the Normans to distinguish from the French area known as Bretagne and the British isles was designate Grande Bretagne. Uninformed plonkers like you should never have been allowed in to this Great country, Go back to where you obviously belong poking donkeys with sticks and digging holes to defecate in.
Andy says
Here, Here David Jones!!!
I second the motion!!!
Do we get a third and forth and so on and on……………………………by people who don’t want these goats in there country anymore!!!
Cheers David!!!!
P.S. By the way manat bint allaha I think you are the trash, plus you better look in a dictionary on how to spell the word TRASH you spelt it:”thrash”.
Like the great Dr. Michael Savage has stated “We need borders, Language and culture”!

Bsrat says
I know this clown seen him few times in London’s Hyde park speakers corner. He debates people on his subjective Islamic belife he presents it as an absolute fact and he gets destroyed all the time. Also not surprised he is a student of the famous Anjam choudry who happens to be serving time in prison.

Thanks, Bsrat.

This creep – this dangerous convert to the Allah Gang – who dishonours both the name of MacFarlane (which he has renounced, upon joining the Arab imperial Cult) and the memories of the *millions and millions* of black Africans butchered or enslaved – many of them savagely emasculated – by Muslim imperialists and slave-raiders – requires more than an ASBO.
He should be either interned, as an enemy agent, or … stripped of his British citizenship and sentenced to lifelong exile, in the OIC country of his choice. Perhaps he should be encouraged to move to Saudi Arabia… where as a black person he will be looked down upon as abeed, blackslave. Or he could go to Somalia, like another British convert to Islam , Samantha Lewthwaite. He wants Islam, and Sharia? Give him a gutful.. in some country already driven mad by Islam, laid waste by Islam.
dumbledoresarmy says
From the article – “Ricardo McFarlane, 30, allegedly breached an ASBO made in February 2014, which barred him from approaching members of the public ‘in order to promote sharia law’.”
The whole of the damn Ummah needs to be placed under such an ASBO. The dar al harb collectively needs to establish boundaries between itself and the Ummah (just as a victim of DV is well-advised to separate herself from the Abuser and establish clear boundaries that must not be breached, on pain of attracting the attention of law enforcement officers) and then be prepared to deploy main force, if necessary, to maintain and defend those boundaries and punish any attempted breach.
Aussie Infidel says
DDA, You are absolutely right! The only way to deal with Muslims is to quarantine them and their medieval culture – ideally back in in their place of origin. Keep them out of the West entirely. Islam does not deserve recognition as a religion; it is a criminal ideology which commands hatred and violence toward all non-Muslims, and uses religion to give it respectability. We should have nothing to do with Muslims; isolate them and let them wither on the vine. The alternative will be jihad ad infinitum.
frank anderson says
Aussie Infidel, permit me to suggest adding before the words “cloak of religion” the words “false, misleading and deceptive”. Islam in reality is no more a religion than Communism (International Socialism) and Nazism (National Socialism). Unless the word religion can be used to declare any ideology safe from all questioning, inquiry and resistance by those who would force it on others, free people have both the right and duty to challenge any assault on their freedom.
Aussie Infidel says
Frank, Of course, you are right. Islam is all those things – “false, misleading and deceptive.” Islam is actually WORSE than Communism and Nazism, because while those two evil ideologies were mainly political, Islam is a toxic mix of both politics and religion – both deeply emotive and subjective issues. And of course, Islam is a supremacist cult which recognises only other Muslims as ‘brothers’.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Only other MALE Islamics are brothers. Remember, under Islam women have no real value except as breeders.
davej says
Goatman should understand that being a member of a stupid and hostile cult does not make you exempt from our society’s rule of law.
Bravo Judge.
Anne Smith says
He won’t understand this at all. His whole belief is based on the understanding that the only rule of law is Sharia, which comes from God (!!!) and our law is inferior as it is man made.
He is obviously incredibly childish, very stupid and easily manipulated by the ruling Imams.
Michael Copeland says
“If we are practicing muslims we are above the law of the land”,
Mustapha Carroll, CAIR Dallas
davej says
All Western politicians who choose to welcome invaders who want to murder our citizens and overthrow our governments should be served ASBOs.
Paul says
and now watch him get off with a slap on his wrist…. you watch.. makes me sick .. good on the judge though but his sentence will be pathetically minimal at best.. nothing for contempt of court.. shameless knuckle dragger…
No Fear says
Sharia is based on the Quran and also the Hadith. The Quran was written by a 7th century human. The Hadith describes the behaviour of that 7th Century human. How does that make Sharia “divine law”? If one examines the components of Sharia it is very obvious that it comes from a human, and that the human is a religious supremacist.
PRCS says
“The Quran was written by a 7th century human”
Or humans (plural).
Whatever the case, Qur’an is NOT chiseled on a stone drifting about in the cosmos.
Jim Conch says
Any possibility of getting that judge to give lessons in the US?
brane pilot says
History has become a sadistic trickster.
European malgovernance has become so extreme that the outcome of WWII has degenerated into a Faustian tragedy.
PRCS says
The judge has much to learn about Islam.
“That isn’t in breach of any religious principles I’m aware of.”
Time to get aware, judge, as McFarlane won’t be last Muslim supremacist to appear in your court.
gravenimage says
True, PRCS–while I applaud the judge for his actions, it is still clear that he does not fully understand Islam.
PRCS says
“promoting sharia law”
1. Let me suggest that for most of the world’s “unbelievers”:
a. The concept of “sharia law” is a bit nebulous.
b. The term “Islamic law” provides a greater and more accurate impression.
2.If I’m not mistaken, Robert Spencer refers to Islamic law rather than Sharia law.
3. In promoting “sharia law”, McFarlane was engaged in “dawah”: proselytizing. Which passages from Qur’an and Sunna do “filthy unbelievers” think Muslims are supposed to NOT preach?
aniruddha biswas says
I am not surprised at all. The Muslim scum in India now refuse to stand when the Indian national anthem is sung. If you protest against this, they along with leftist media brand you a ‘Hindu right winger’ and ‘Islamophobe’ and ‘fascist’. In fact, any protest against Islamic radicalism is branded as fascist. Thankfully the Hindus have woken up to the twin cancer of jihadism and leftist ideology, even though it took them 70 long years. Europe better wake up soon, because any pandering to this ‘murder cult’ only results in emboldening them further, and is a one-way street to hell.

This convert to islam…he knows muhammed was a slave trader in BLACK PEOPLE, right?
“..and he bought him for two black slaves..”
{Sahih Muslim 3901}
That’s two black slaves sold by muhammed.
And can these converts not see how wrong that is?
That’s not a man you should follow.

“Extremist who starred in Channel 4 show The Jihadis Next Door with London Bridge terrorist Khuram Butt arrested in connection with attack”
That The Sun–and ultimately its readers–think he’s an “extremist” demonstrates the ongoing ignorance of Islam’s teachings, commands, demands, and expectations.
People will buy into that nonsense until they realize it’s literalism, not “extremism”.

We need more Westerners…courts, law enforcement, government leaders…putting islam in it’s rightful place in our secular societies. We don’t care about muslims’ religious tenets. When muslims choose to live in our secular societies, they must abide by our secular ways. End of story.
mortimer says
Ricardo McFarlane is expressing his belief that he is at war with the United Kingdom. If that is so, Ricardo McFarlane is a danger to society and should be segregated from UK citizens until he completely changes his mind.
Such jihadists who are at war with the UK should either be held on a Devil’s Island, segregated from ordinary prisoners or they should be allowed to leave the UK with no chance of return… if another country will have them.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Such disrespect. Here we have a judge ready to get on all fours and take it up the yin yang to help a Moslem activist and the dude won’t stand. We know this cuz the judge alluded to Islam a religion. This is a classic Dhimmi error: Islam is a three pronged life belief system with religion only as the single and most visible prong. The other prongs are government (including Sharia court) and military (Jihad).
Has this judge not caught the news from England?
Donald R Laster Jr says
Now if people will simply start calling Islam a religion and treat it what it is: a foreign State. Shar’iah law is not a religious law but the law of a foreign State called Islam. Image if the man was trying to promote French, German, Russia, Chinese, or Japanese law? The more we call Islam a religion the more we allow people to be deceived. Islam is a theocracy and Shar’iah law is its civil law.
Donald R Laster Jr says
First sentence should be: Now if people will simply stop calling Islam a religion and treat it what it is: a foreign State.

THEN DRAG THE FUCKERS UP

AND NAIL THEM FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT … AS A BONUS PRIZE
frank anderson says
Ade, I doubt that would happen in the Islamic collaborating EU, with few exceptions. But in any US court I have seen that would be the routine response for contempt in the presence of the judge.
