I am from the Middle East. I can not believe it that Sharia is going to applied in the West. That is a shame. I am glad that the Humanists are leading the fight. But I have to say, libral and humanists are reaping what they saw. They are the one to plame(partially)because their idiologies and unrealistic Utabia thinking that brought this on them. I predicted this and use to saying to my very lebral friends, the Islam that you are fighting for will turn on you first. I hope it is not too late for all of us. It is shame that the other religions are not joining the fight. They will be as of a target as the librals. I hope that all of us forget about our differences and idiologies and unite against the Islamization of the word. Peace

This appeasement-driven Islamification of the world is potentially one of the most dangerous phenomenons of modern day.
I hope, for all our sakes, that it never comes to pass. I do not want my children and grandchildren to live in a society in which they will bear witness to: the poor treatment of women, the religious brainwashing of children whereby they are chocked from making personal and/or religious choices — from FREEDOM — in large part from fear of punishment as per Sharia law. I, as a Westerner, am also extremely uncomfortable and anxious with women/men (I could never know, truly) covering their faces and bodies as Sharia commands. I do not feel safe. It has absolutely nothing to do with them being Muslim. I would not feel safe if any woman walked down the street dressed in such a way. In our society, it should be known, that the only people who cover their faces are criminals, chemical engineers, surgeons and spec-ops personnel.
I commend Muslims who stand against Sharia and do their best to adapt to another culture instead of imposing their ideologies upon it. There is a way to co-exist, but the rules of another country — whether it be “offensive” humour (which is something that, in the West, comedians reserve the right to employ) or dress style/education/family life — have to be respected. If they are challenged, it would have to have nothing to do with religion.

sooner or later this country will be controlled by the Muslims and extremist people.
