40% of British Muslims want Sharia Law.

This is a sign that you Brit's need to stop hugging and kissing these people and start booting them out and to send them all home. 

Including the 60% (that's over half) who didn't say they wanted Sharia law?

Well only 41% said they did not want Sharia, I do not know how the others voted until I buy the newspaper in the morning. But 40% for is a sizeable minority.

Having said that I certainly don't agree with Kevin's opinion.

It's not just Muslims who are vulnerable to it. An Italian court recently decided that a child rapist could basically get off with a very light sentence just because his victim was not a virgin. This is in 99% Catholic Italy, very few Muslims there. Isn't that de facto the same type of thing that you'd get under Sharia law? So I wouldn't say it's an issue of being a Muslim or not. Although the pluralist Muslims do need to speak up more.

Was this an actual rape or just the fake 'statutory rape'?

Real rape

It probably should have gone in its own thread but I think it's more useful here where people can see that many of the religiously-based traditionalist attitudes behind Sharia law can be generalized across religions.
