Imam Faisal Abdur Rauf, the so-called peaceful Imam will be travelling to Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates for a 15-day tour. The trip will cost about $16,000 and he will receive $200 daily as honorarium. The state department will also pay for his lodging and the airfare.
Apparently, this is not the first time for Rauf to visit the M.E. His first tour was under Bush administration and he had another trip earlier this year- all sponsored by the state department.
You, my friend, need to open your eyes and take off those blinkers.
Take a look at what has happened in the UK since we gave them lattitude or bent over backwards to support their rights to pray etc.
I can list many, many events that have taken place. Things like a bus driver, bus full of passengers...stopped halfway round his route to pray. A checkout girl in a supermarket refusing to check out a bottle of whiskey because of her religion. Countless examples.
Not saying that this will happen in the USA...but.
Not quite correct Stress me old friend. Sharia Courts are formed as Tribunials under the Arbitration Act of 1996. They only have limited (civil) cases under which that the can 'arbitrate', but of course, give them an inch and they'll take ten miles.
Sheikh Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi, whose Muslim Arbitration Tribunal runs the courts, said he had taken advantage of a clause in the Arbitration Act 1996.
Under the act, the sharia courts are classified as arbitration tribunals. The rulings of arbitration tribunals are binding in law, provided that both parties in the dispute agree to give it the power to rule on their case.
Siddiqi said: “We realised that under the Arbitration Act we can make rulings which can be enforced by county and high courts. The act allows disputes to be resolved using alternatives like tribunals. This method is called alternative dispute resolution, which for Muslims is what the sharia courts are.”
London: Tony Blair's office described as "fatuous" on Sunday, claims that the former prime minister was starting a bank for the super-rich, even though one of his companies has won approval to offer financial services.
