In the first video posted of Obama meeting the Queen you will notice her look away and down as they part... also watch as Phillip steps back after the handshake... this seems to me that they didn't really want to shake hands with Obama...
I'll go view your other vids now...
Ok, just viewed the video with the Labour Muslim MP... this isn't good at all... no wonder Brown still thinks he's going to win... there are probably loads up North who will vote Labour because of these MP's trying to get imto the No10 Downing Street... I really hope people open their eyes and wake up!!
That vid on Sweden is something new... i used to go out with Swede... i visited Sweden and never saw any Muslims over there... not in Stockholm anyway... don't know about Malmo as i never visited that part of Sweden but if that vid is true than they better start to open their eyes there too...
BTW I'm also against Islamification and hope it dies out... this looks like the Nazi's all over again...
Freedom of religion does not exist in Saudi Arabia.
Islam is the official religion, and all citizens must be Muslims. The Government prohibits the public practice of other religions. The Government has declared the Holy Quran and the Sunna (tradition) of the Prophet Muhammad to be the country’s constitution. The Government bases its legitimacy on governance according to the precepts of the rigorously conservative and strict interpretation of the Salafi or Wahhabi school of the Sunni branch of Islam and discriminates against other branches of Islam.
Neither the Government nor society in general accepts the concepts of separation of religion and state, and such separation does not exist.
The legal system is based on Sharia (Islamic law), with Shari'a courts basing their judgments largely on a code derived from the Quran and the Sunna.
The U.S. State Department's 1997 Human Rights Report on Saudi Arabia states. "Islam is the official religion, and all citizens must be Muslims.
The government prohibits the public practice of other religions."
Under Pope Benedict XVI, Vatican officials have raised the issue of Christians being forbidden from worshipping openly in Saudi Arabia.
As an Islamic State, Saudi Arabia gives preferential treatment for Muslims.
While allowing foreigners to come and work, Saudi Arabia prohibits the burial of Non-Muslims on Saudi soil
Foreign schools are often required to teach a yearly introductory segment on Islam.
Saudi Arabia forbids missionary work by any religion other than Wahabi/Salafi Islam.
Saudi religious police have detained Shiite pilgrims participating in the Hajj, allegedly calling them "infidels in Mecca". The restrictions on the Shi'a branch of Islam in the kingdom along with the banning of displaying Jewish and Christian symbols have been referred to as apartheid.

Women's rights in Saudi Arabia
Saudi women sometimes face discrimination in many aspects of their lives, such as the justice system. Although they make up 70% of those enrolled in universities, for social reasons, women make up just 5% of the workforce in Saudi Arabia, the lowest proportion in the world.
The treatment of women has been referred to as "Sex segregation" and "gender apartheid". Implementation of a government resolution supporting expanded employment opportunities for women met resistance from within the labor ministry, from the religious police, and from the male citizenry.
In many parts of Saudi Arabia, it is believed that a woman's place is in the home caring for her husband and family. There is also segregation inside their own homes as some rooms have separate entrances for men and women.
Although women are legally not allowed to drive cars in Saudi Arabia, women in rural areas and other areas outside cities do drive cars. Women are allowed to fly aircraft, though they must be chauffeured to the airport.
Women's rights are at the heart of calls for reform in Saudi Arabia - calls that are challenging the kingdom's political status quo. Local and international women's groups are also pushing governments to respond, taking advantage of the fact that some rulers are eager to project a more progressive image to the West. (is this just temporary?)
The presence of powerful businesswomen—still a rare sight—in some of these groups helps get them heard. Prior to 2008, women were not allowed to enter hotels and furnished apartments without a chaperon or mahram. With a 2008 Royal Decree, however, the only requirement needed to allow women to enter hotels are their national ID cards, and the hotel must inform the nearest police station of their room reservation and length of stay, however this happens with everybody staying in the hotel not just women.
Many Saudis believe that allowing women the right to drive could lead to Western-style openness and an erosion of traditional values.
According to the CIA world factbook, 70.8% of females are literate, in comparison to 84.7% literacy rates in males.

Corporal and capital punishment in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is one of a number of countries where courts continue to impose corporal punishment, including amputations of hands and feet for robbery, and flogging for lesser crimes such as "sexual deviance" and drunkenness.
The number of lashes is not clearly prescribed by law and is varied according to the discretion of judges, and ranges from dozens of lashes to several hundreds, usually applied over a period of weeks or months.
In 2004, the United Nations Committee against Torture criticized Saudi Arabia over the amputations and floggings it carries out under Sharia. The Saudi delegation responded defending "legal traditions" held since the inception of Islam 1,400 years ago and rejected interference in its legal system.
Saudi Arabia also engages in capital punishment, including public executions by beheading.
Beheading is the punishment for murderers, rapists, drug traffickers and armed robbers, according to strict interpretation of Islamic law.
In 2005 there were 191 executions, in 2006 there were 38, in 2007 there were 153, and in 2008 there were 102.
A spokesman for Saudi Arabia's National Society for Human Rights has said that numbers of executions are rising because crime rates are rising, that prisoners are treated humanely, and that the beheadings deter crime, saying, ""Allah, our creator, knows best what's good for his people...Should we just think of and preserve the rights of the murderer and not think of the rights of others?"

Call for parts of sharia law in Australia
Updated Mon Mar 8, 2010 3:35pm AEDT
A senior Muslim leader is again calling for elements of sharia law to be legally recognised in Australia.

Another woman was approached by attackers at the Bankstown train station, who proposed she join them in smoking some marijuana at another location. She agreed and went with them, however she was taken to three separate locations by the men, raped 25 times by a total of fourteen men, in an ordeal that lasted six hours. After the attacks the woman was hosed down with a fire hose. The woman, who was known during the trial as 'C' to protect her identity, later told her story to 60 Minutes. She told of how the attackers called her an "Aussie Pig", asked her if "Leb cock tasted better than Aussie cock" and explained to her that she would now be raped "Leb-style".
Conservative commentators such as Miranda Devine have cited the crimes as racially motivated hate crimes.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the rapists had stated to a victim, during the attack, "You deserve it because you're an Australian" and "I'm going to fu*k you Leb style".

Also, those Sharia tribunals aren't official courts. They are small tribunals mostly working out of mosques...and whatever they decide doesn't become official or legal until an OFFICIAL UK NATIONAL COURT sanctions it. So basically, they can meet, make a decision...but as long as it doesn't fit UK law it's basically not legally binding.
ISLAMIC law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases.
The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence.
Rulings issued by a network of five sharia courts are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court.
The disclosure that Muslim courts have legal powers in Britain comes seven months after Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was pilloried for suggesting that the establishment of sharia in the future “seems unavoidable” in Britain.
