Germany
Submits to Sharia Law
"A
parallel justice system has established itself in Germany"

- A German court
has ruled that seven Islamists who formed a vigilante patrol to
enforce Sharia law on the streets of Wuppertal did not break German
law and were simply exercising their right to free speech. The
"politically correct" decision, which may be appealed,
effectively authorizes the Sharia Police to continue enforcing Islamic
law in Wuppertal.
- The
self-appointed "Sharia Police" distributed leaflets which
established a "Sharia-controlled zone" in Wuppertal. The men
urged both Muslim and non-Muslim passersby to attend mosques and to
refrain from alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, gambling, music, pornography
and prostitution.
- Critics say the
cases — especially those in which German law has taken a back seat to
Sharia law — reflect a dangerous encroachment of Islamic law into the
German legal system.
- In June 2013, a
court in Hamm ruled that anyone who contracts marriage according to
Islamic law in a Muslim country and later seeks a divorce in Germany
must abide by the original terms established by Sharia law. The
landmark ruling effectively legalized the Sharia practice of
"triple-talaq," obtaining a divorce by reciting the phrase
"I divorce you" three times.
- A growing number
of Muslims in Germany are consciously bypassing German courts
altogether and instead are adjudicating their disputes in informal
Sharia courts, which are proliferating across the country.
- "If the rule
of law fails to establish its authority and demand respect for itself,
then it can immediately declare its bankruptcy." — Franz Solms-Laubach,
Bild's parliamentary correspondent.
A German court has ruled that a group of Islamists who
formed a vigilante patrol to enforce Sharia law on the streets of Wuppertal
did not break German law and were simply exercising their right to free
speech. They were charged under a law that prohibits the wearing of
uniforms at public rallies -- a law originally designed to ban neo-Nazi
groups from parading in public.

The ruling, which effectively legitimizes Sharia law in Germany, is
one of a growing number of instances in which German courts are — wittingly
or unwittingly — promoting the establishment of a parallel Islamic legal
system in the country.
The self-appointed "Sharia Police" sparked public outrage in
September 2014, when they distributed yellow leaflets which established a
"Sharia-controlled zone" in the Elberfeld district of Wuppertal.
The men urged both Muslim and non-Muslim passersby to attend mosques and to
refrain from alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, gambling, music, pornography and
prostitution.

- The affair at
France's huge state-owned transport company, RATP, is the story of
failed integration. The company, tired of seeing its buses stoned and
burned regularly in some Paris suburbs, began to hire as drivers young
Muslims who were living in the suburbs. The result of this hiring
policy is that buses continue to be stoned in the suburbs, but
Islamist ideology is now spreading within the company.
- At France's
national railway (SNCF), as at RATP and Air France, similar problems
are arising: mainstream unions are losing ground to religion. Unions
have to accept infiltration by Islamists, or they lose elections.
- In daily life,
the company tries to cope with the fact that prayer comes first,
before serving the public. Trains can be delayed because of a driver's
prayers, changing rooms become prayer rooms, men refuse to shake the
hand of female colleagues, and intolerance of homosexuals is
spreading.

French companies try to cope with Islamism in its two modes: the soft
one -- veils spreading throughout every office, an increase in lawsuits
against employers on religious grounds; and the hard one -- terrorism and
threats of Islamic terrorism.
According to the French satirical weekly, Le Canard Enchaîné,
in October, 40 Air France plane fuel hatches were covered in
graffiti stating: "Allahu Akbar" ("Allah is Greatest").
Citing anti-terror police, the magazine reported that airplane functions
had been deliberately tampered with and that the pilots' communications and
engine control from the cockpit kept failing.
