To want a way to label the reasonable fear of the variety of Islam that wishes to impose Sharia law?

Yes I do think some extremist Muslims want to impose sharia law. And I bloody well hope they don’t. I can’t see it happening in reality; hope not anyway.

I think statistically the majority of newcomers to the UK are not christian so Im not sure why or how the UK would convert to Catholicism

Ok, but the study you linked projected the by 2050 “In Europe, Muslims will make up 10% of the overall population.”

Now, most of these will be secular Muslims and have no interest in imposing Sharia law. So how is such a minority going to force over 90% of the population to follow Sharia law?

UK Census data on religion although it is important to note the question was voluntary - 94% answered

There were increases in the number of people who described themselves as “Muslim” (3.9 million, 6.5% in 2021, up from 2.7 million, 4.9% in 2011) and “Hindu” (1.0 million, 1.7% in 2021, up from 818,000, 1.5% in 2011).

Islam and Christianity are evangelical, its gods work to try to convert people. Im not sure Judaism has that element

I wish people like you wouldn’t say ‘Muslims’ like we are all the same. Many of us are liberal. Fully integrated. Part of diverse communities. Born here. Living in the UK, some married to non-Muslims, wearing whatever we want, eating what we want but still identifying as Muslims. Some of us would be as scared of sharia law as you are. The biggest threat the Taliban etc pose is to other Muslims. Not the West.

Please don’t stereotype us all like this.

Its a young religion, like medieval christianity, look at them they were fanatics. I see it at the same stage as that. Will it be able to evolve itself?

Pre monotheistic religions are more likely to center women as connected to the universe's creative energy.

Incorrect.

Sadly it really isn't. Sharia Law is a code, under the veneer of religion, that allows a few men to dominate and drive custom. It is so harmful to women.

The lack of logic is the assumption that immigrants will all be Muslims.
Christianity is the most populous religion in the world. It is more likely that the majority of U.K. will go all Catholic again than Muslim or Hindu.

But I don't believe I am seeing Muslim men stand up against this at all, and that does concern me. I do wonder, in all seriousness, just how misogynist the whole (and other organised religions) faith is?

It is not a peaceful religion.
Like many other religions it is a warrior religion.

It was created to unite arabian tribes in a fight over land and trade. It’s done pretty well.

Edited: the goal of Islam is to have Sharia Law. That is not to say that all muslims want that. But the Quran abiding devotees do want that.
Just like some (many) Christians would like their religion to be reflected in the laws in their countries, etc.

I wouldn’t want either. Because I am a woman, and I like the rights I have equally to men, and because it took a bloody long time to get them in the first place!

Don't be so silly and naive.

What are basing this on? Have you tried out all 4000 odd religions? All the different gods? You presumably don't believe in all of them? Atheists just believe in one less than you do.

Hardly. It's logical to assume that a country with a rapidly falling birthrate and an influx of people coming from other countries will eventually be overtaken.

Not everything is a conspiracy theory even if some conspiracy theorists have adopted some parts of it and twisted it into their own belief system.

Hmmm. I believe this is what's known as the Great Replacement Theory. You could maybe email your post to the Spectator's letters page. I bet they'd print it.

I'm muslim. I married a fellow indian muslim when I was very young in a quasi arranged marriage. I met him and got to know him. Thought I liked him.

He was okay when we lived together, however he started a drug addiction which led to me funding everything, him losing his job, getting addicted to all sorts and stealing money from me. He went out to buy drugs once and left the main door outside unlocked and we got robbed. He started to beat me when I refused to have sex with him.

I had no idea what to do. My mum wasn't supportive and wanted me to change him.

I ended up leaving them all and moving to a different city. Got a new job. I was 22 and had never lived by myself before without my family.

I went to the sharia council in Dewsbury and spoke to an imam about my situation. He met my ex and persuaded him to give me a divorce. I got a divorce and moved on, remarried ( an english legal wedding) and had kids to a good man.

I don't know much about sharia law although the Islamic finance makes sense to me (I work in the finance industry). It was horrid that my ex had to give me a divorce but that's just how it is and I had go work with the tools that were available to me. I'm glad the imam listened to me and didn't ask me to go back to him.

I know girls that are now refusing to go abroad and threatening families with calling the police if they are forced to marry. I really hope, here at least things are changing.

I do pray for my cousins in Kabul who had to leave university and now can't even have a mobile phone. I always try to be grateful and remind myself how lucky I am.
