Have just re-read your post Phoenix and yes, all very commendable and could possibly help demystify Islam and help promote a message of tolerance and moderation, but this has to be instigated by Muslims themselves, and at the moment there seems little effort directed towards this.
Additionally the majority of Muslims seem to be intent on remaining aloof from British society as a whole and refuse to integrate at all.

Those Islamic jerks are putting minature suicide bomb vests on their children, handing them a toy AK, and a bandana with hatred slogans, teaching them "kill Jews! kill Americans!" Now, what values do you think these children will embrace as they reach adulthood? And any idea who they'll be coming after, given the chance? Any grandchildren? Grand-nephews and neices?

You know, people who are too serious don't realise that seriousness is the main cause of the problems we have in this world lol.
If everyone told a joke or two, relaxed, smile a little, maybe we wouldn't be so, well "serious".
Peace.

Let me just state again, in my opinion most muslims DO NOT want sharia law in the UK.
Simple.
Who boasted this story? That's right a hate fanatic. That's like listening to a crazy person, a hate fanatic does not represent most normal muslims in the uk, it's common sense.
Anyway something should be done about these people who spread hate speeches like this!
Also don't ignore this part.
"Last night the meeting was condemned by moderate Muslims.
Iqbal Sacranie, ex-Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Great Britain, said: “Such outrageous and irresponsible comments are nothing new from the likes of Omar Bakri and his lot. These people know they do not represent the views of the vast majority, if not the entire community, of Muslims in the UK.”

Mohammed Sifaoui, a French Algerian journalist who, posing as a terrorist sympathiser, managed to infiltrate al-Qaeda cells in both France and the UK. Flanked by secret service agents - the French government has pledged to protect him for the foreseeable future - he met me in a Parisian hotel. Sifaoui, who as a result of his bravery has become uniquely expert on the Islamist mentality, believes that Britain exhibits paradoxical behaviour in relation to terrorism. It is anomalous, for example, that Britain quite evidently provides a safe haven for those, such as Butt and Hamza, who have terrorist sympathies. "The most sought-after terrorists in the world," he says, "have found shelter in the UK . . . They propagate their ideology there. They distribute booklets on their philosophy - giving them out freely outside mosques."

my brother, i would rather talk with you about this not on such a thread as it is confusing to people who do not know islaam...
you will find that ahadeeth ARE preserved but you will only be able to know this by following a school of jurisprudence (i follow the hanafi school of law, which i chose because it was the earliest and imaam abu haneefah met some of the companions and collected hadeeth from them directly!)
please, if you want to know more, and you really do love Allaah and His messenger, you will find out why the ummah have been following ahadeeth since the time of the prophet, and i can forward you some useful material insha'Allaah (there is a lecture by shaykh abu yusuf riyadh ul haq about "juristic differences" if you are confused on that issue too...)
Allaah says in surah al-imraan:
130 O you who believe! Eat not Riba (usury) doubled and multiplied, but fear Allah that you may be successful.
131 And fear the Fire, which is prepared for the disbelievers.
132 And obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) that you may obtain mercy.
133 And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness from your Lord, and for Paradise as wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for Al-Muttaqoon (the pious - see V.2:2).
surah an-nisa
13 These are the limits (set by) Allah (or ordainments as regards laws of inheritance), and whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will be admitted to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise), to abide therein, and that will be the great success.
14 And whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and transgresses His limits, He will cast him into the Fire, to abide therein; and he shall have a disgraceful torment.
......
59 O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority (the scholars). (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination.
60 Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Taghoot (false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject them. But Shaytaan (Satan) wishes to lead them far astray.
61 And when it is said to them: "Come to what Allah has sent down and to the Messenger," you (Muhammad SAW) see the hypocrites turn away from you (Muhammad SAW) with aversion.
62 How then, when a catastrophe befalls them because of what their hands have sent forth, they come to you swearing by Allah, "We meant no more than goodwill and conciliation!"
63 They (hypocrites) are those of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts; so turn aside from them (do not punish them) but admonish them, and speak to them an effective word (i.e. to believe in Allah, worship Him, obey Him, and be afraid of Him) to reach their innerselves.
64 We sent no Messenger, but to be obeyed by Allahs Leave. If they (hypocrites), when they had been unjust to themselves, had come to you (Muhammad SAW) and begged Allahs Forgiveness, and the Messenger had begged forgiveness for them: indeed, they would have found Allah All-Forgiving (One Who accepts repentance), Most Merciful.
65 But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad SAW) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission.
69 And whoso obeys Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqoon, the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!

Yes I've heard about those muslims. who seem to seperate? I have not met them, I live in London everyone mixes in my area.
The younger muslims are not that strict too, let's just say a lot of them have girlfriends, cause trouble, do all the normal kid stuff etc. Not exactly very strict, or having extremist qualities lol.
So in my opinion that's at least one sign of the future generation to be less likely to have as many extremists.

Yeah. Let's look at Israel. In the years of 1947-48, 1956, 1967, 1973, and 1982, this tiny country surrounded by immensely superior numbers and hostile Muslim peoples, soundly and conclusively defeated multiple coalitions of its Arab border nations who had vastly superior numbers, and were supplied with sophisticated weapons systems by France, the Soviet Union, and Communitst China.
Surrounded by Arab nations totaling over a hundred million adversaries, the five million Israeli's have been forced to defend an almost impossible border since 1947, but doing so with such battlefield success as to baffle reasonable expectations. Then of course, the tiny nation of Israel is a nation of Western immigrants who fielded a vastly superior organized military consisting of better trained, and better motivated soldiers for battle. Of course, unlike their neighbors, Israel is a democracy of free markets, technological innovations, capitalist pursuits, free elections, free press, free speech, and freedom of religion. Their enemies were not - and are not.
To top it off the Israeli's have rewritten the current physics book, but are wisely keeping that to themselves for now. Often in physics, when you open one door, there's an entire other hallway of doors to be opened. By being capable of weaponize what physicists term "dark energy," which makes nuclear weapons puny and obsolete by comparison, they apparently want to reserve this advanced technology for that Armageddon thing. So, they are ready right now, and numbers and countries arrayed against them mean nothing. And the Israeli's can keep a secret.
My dad fought in the Second World War, and even after he heard about the atomic bomb being dropped, he said no one at that time understood what it was, as they had no reference point. Same thing here.
So if one sees a country outnumbered 100:5, that has been attacked over and again, then yes, expect to see every man, woman, and child used to defend their country. It's the neighbors causing the problems.
If you attack someone, get your ass kicked, and lose territory, then it's lost. You don't get to go back to the starting point. The West Bank and even Gaza, and even Sinai were lost to the Israelis. Sinai went back to Egypt, but there's nothing there worth having.
Palestinians lost. If you don't like a Jewish state, move to an Islamic state. This isn't brain surgery. Too bad, that's the way it is. It's been that way since time began. In a fight, there's losers and winners. And the Palestinians know nothing but losing, even fighting among themselves.
It's really good at this point in time to be a friend of Israel. Because their enemies are about to have the surprise of their lives! They won't even get to finish blinking their eyes, so complete and rapid is this undoing. Even the bodies don't decompose like their supposed to, and mummify in place.
Wipe an entire city in seconds with two trucks lying ten miles outside. Then they can move to another city. Or create another Chernobyl with a minor adjustment. All the while the Russians were lowering their rods, they were making it worse. The Russians in the plant didn't know what was going on, but those Russians in the nearby weapons plant knew that they were getting hit back with what they had sent out. One big-assed standing wave, re-released back upon them like a rubber band snapping.
Yes, we live in interesting times.

I apologize for the mistaken gender thing.
I'm not bitter, and yes, I have known Muslims. Had two that worked for me. Iranians at that. And they couldn't stand Islam, having been raised under that oppressive yoke. You must understand that I don't recall the bombings of our embassies carried out by Buddists. Our twin towers were not leveled by Taoists. Sikh's aren't the ones who were making a public spectacle out of cutting off of innocent's heads.
The only bastards that seem to have a problem with the rest of the world are Muslims. So a cheap game of killing Muslims is such a big deal? Better a game. Those Islamic jerks are putting minature suicide bomb vests on their children, handing them a toy AK, and a bandana with hatred slogans, teaching them "kill Jews! kill Americans!" Now, what values do you think these children will embrace as they reach adulthood? And any idea who they'll be coming after, given the chance? Any grandchildren? Grand-nephews and neices?
Wake up. You're right. There's enough hatred in the world. I learned a long time ago that emptiness is necessary for victory after victory when engaged in mortal combat. Empty, there's no hatred, no anxiety, no emotions at all, no distractions, no hopes, no fears, no expectations, and no mercy. Empty, you are victorious.
I've seen first hand the evils that black-hearted people can do. Just killing because they could. No conscious, no empathy, no values. They understand one thing. Force. The security of the shield will be of short benefit if the other arm is not skilled with the sword. And I tried to kill them just as fast as I could, in the greatest numbers, as efficiently as I could. And God damn them. Maybe me too, but I was trying to stop that crap!
I believe it was Michael Riggs who said it best, "Evil men, ruthlessly seeking your destruction through force, will ever be turned back by the greater force of good men, through even greater destruction, more ruthlessly applied."
So you can preach to the uninitiated, the young and foolish, to the intelligensia and academia, as your viewpoints are shared by them. Those who haven't ever experienced violent death and had to fight to the death to keep breathing. Sitting at your computer is not reality, son.
Intelligensia and academia in times of anarchy drop faster than burdschitt in a downdraft. All through history. You sometimes gotta fight evil. It won't be reasoned with, it won't hesitate, it won't use logic. It will kill you if it can.
All this crap over a stupid game.
Choudary — whose family live on £25,000 a year in benefits — whipped them into a frenzy with a speech calling for Sharia law, under which criminals and adulterers are stoned or have limbs amputated.
