    Who's going to want to write long articles against Islam? If anyone in Europe writes anything against them, they get threatened or killed. See: Danish cartoonist. Their governments will not defend their free speech. Americans are somewhat protected.

    None of these videos prove that Sharia is enshrined in the British Legal system.

    But, Sharia is used in some civil matters in the UK, but only when both parties agree to use of Sharia court systems and only for civil legal disputes. 95% of those were related to divorce (http://www.onelawforall.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/New-Report-Sharia-Law-in-Britain_fixed.pdf)

    As for the Islamic gangs that were roaming around supposedly enforcing Sharia, these groups are considered gangs and criminals by the UK government, so all you are demonstrating in that case is "Extremists do extremist illegal extremist things" NOT a creeping influence of Sharia in the UK.

    One of the videos you also cited is from the English Defense League, which are explicitly Islamophobic and neo-fascist. English Defence League - RationalWiki

    so you have zero evidence then?

    Is Ben Affleck gearing up for a career in politics after his acting career? As if his erudite opinion really holds much water. Stick to acting, Ben which you do pretty well. I will admit that he's a good looking guy.
