    Arrow Belgium Transitioning from Democracy to Sharia?

    Belgium Transitioning from Democracy to Sharia?
    Brussels has sworn in two municipal officials from a new Islamic party who want to implement Sharia law. A YouTube video shows one of the men, Redouane Ahrouch, taking the oath of office in Brussels, followed by a protestor pointing out Ahrouch's plans to turn Belgium into an Islamic state.

    The critic disrupted the ceremony, shouting that Ahrouch will undermine democracy with his plans to implement Islamic law. Ahrouch has admitted he's taking a gradual approach, saying it may take decades to enforce Sharia. But he said the process has now begun.
    The Gatestone Institute reports Ahrouch created a 40-point program in the past, including teenage marriage and redesigning the Belgian judiciary to comply with Islam. Muslims now make up one quarter of the population of Brussels.

    Thirteen year old girls can marry fourteen year old boys in New Hampshire. Is that Sharia at work?

    I don't know of any state that requires people to be at least in their twenties to marry.

    Thank goodness that is only with the consent of the parents or legal guardians. Let's hope cooler heads prevail when making that decision Baltimatt.

    Who cares? If Belgium wants to eliminate it's freedom and watch it's economy sink, they can go for it.

    If the country doesn't split into Flanders and Wallonia before then.

    The first article is about Belgium Transitioning from Democracy to Islamic Law. The second is about some of the brutal punishments used under Sharia, such as hand amputations, beheadings and crucifixions... and you're more concerned with singling out a comparison with "teenage marriage" under Sharia Law and "New Hampshire" in some apparent effort to show hypocrisy and give the articles less credibility?? Muslim much??

    Belgium was always looking for a replacement for Hitler and the Nazi's since the end of WW2. Looks like they found a perfect replacement.

    Of course I don't "Muslim much."

    You talked about teen marriage. That happens here.

    Two local Muslim officials saying they want Sharia doesn't make Belgium on the way to "transitioning" from democracy to Sharia.
