Muslims have for years demanded separate Muslim burial sites. In addition they want Sharia compliant burial services.

 

 

- The body has to be buried within 24 hours

- Coffins are not allowed, the body must be buried in cloth.

- Cremation is forbidden

- Positioning the deceased so that the head is faced towards Mecca

 

 

There was a proposal to alter the name of Aldgate East underground station near Brick Lane to Banglatown. Last year (2008), because of a shortage of cemetery space for Muslims it was proposed by one Muslim councillor to relocate the graves in Tower Hamlets Cemetery elsewhere in order to construct a ”multi-faith burial site” – a Muslim burial site.

 

Why did the graves need to be dug up? Because dead Muslims cannot be buried alongside Christians and other infidels. There are some relatives of those buried in that cemetery still living. The dead include victims of the famous Bethnal Green tube disaster of 1943.

 

Sharia and Public pools[1]

 

Includes reserving the pools to women, female lifeguards, swimming hijabs[1] and to secure the area so that no men has access. In many cases this will include covering up any underwater windows while there is a Muslim swimming session.

 

 

Results:

 

There are currently hundreds of arrangements like these all over Europe.

 

Sharia car insurance[2] (Halal insurance – known as “takaful”)

 

 

Results:

 

Slowly popping up in European major cities.

 

Sharia compliant food[3] (Halal food)

 

Halal meat has been a known phenomenon in Europe for decades. However, some McDonald’s outlets now serve halal chicken, while larger branches of Tesco offer a range of halal foods, including halal chocolate, halal cheese and halal candy.[1] So far, it has targeted the Muslim community through Islamic publications and on billboards.

 

Chief executive Bradley Brandon-Cross of Tesco said: ‘It is the responsibility of British institutions to cater for such changes and welcome diversity.’

 

Sharia compliant food is also served in many prisons and offered by several air lines.

 

Sharia-compliant Gold Mastercard[4]

 

The Cordoba Gold MasterCard does not charge or receive interest as this is in direct conflict with Sharia Law. The company also donates at least 10% of its profits to “charities” in the UK and abroad. It is supported by a board of ethical advisor's, some being mullahs.

 

Sharia compliant Banks[5]

 

The UK's Muslim population totals about two million and fully sharia-compliant banks have more than 30,000 customers across the UK.

 

Sharia compliant Mortgages[6]

 

Under Islamic law (Sharia) the payment or receipt of interest (riba) is forbidden. Interest is seen as a payment that is unrelated to the value of the goods or assets being traded, and is considered sinful.

 

There are tens of Sharia banks across Europe today.

 

Sharia crime courts in Europe[7]

 

Sharia law "courts" are already dealing with crime on the streets of major European cities.

 

 

One example illustrates the following:

 

A teenage stabbing case among the Somali community in Woolwich had been dealt with by a sharia "trial". Youth worker Aydarus Yusuf, 29, who was involved in setting up the hearing, said a group of Somali youths were arrested by police on suspicion of stabbing another Somali teenager. The victim's family told officers the matter would be settled out of court and the suspects were released on bail. A hearing was convened and elders ordered the assailants to compensate the victim.

 

 

"All their uncles and their fathers were there," said Mr Yusuf. "So they all put something towards that and apologised for the wrongdoing."

 

 

An Islamic Council in Leyton also revealed that it had dealt with more than 7,000 divorces while sharia courts in the capital have settled hundreds of financial disputes. Along with the Islamic Council in Leyton, there are reports of at least two other sharia courts sitting in London. There are also courts in a number of other areas of the country with high Muslim populations, including Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, Birmingham and Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Most are understood to concentrate on divorce cases - although such judgments are not recognised in British law - as well as financial disputes.

 

Suhaib Hasan, a spokesman for the Islamic Sharia Council in Leyton, which was set up in 1982, said that he and his colleagues dealt with more than 200 cases a year, ranging from inheritance to marriage and divorce. "From the beginning, people have wanted our services. More and more come back to us. Each month we deal with 20 cases," he said.

 

As well as giving advice on legal matters, such as inheritance, the website also gives general guidance on Muslim practices including the need for beards and the need for women to cover themselves in public. It also covers issues such as whether women should train as doctors.
