Helsinki, Sep. 12, 2007 (CWNews.com) - Europe's first Islamic political party has formed in Finland.

The Finnish Islamic Party plans to collect 5,000 signatures in order to qualify for official registration by the end of the year. Counting on support from the 55,000 Muslims living in Finland, the party anticipates some success in next year's municipal elections as well as in the 2011 parliamentary elections. Party spokesman Abdullah Tammi acknowledged to reporters that to date the party has enrolled only a few dozen members.

The Finnish Islamic Party platform supports a ban on alcohol sales, the option for Muslim children to be excused from school music classes and outings to swimming pools, legal status for ritual animal killing and male circumcision, and the eventual introduction of SHARIA LAW in Finland. Tammi added that the purpose of Sharia law was to prevent crime.

Better pay attention to what just occurred in Brussels.

[I see my hands]

C.A.I.R. already has one running for the presidency of the US.

[Bender2]

Well, I guess... we can add Finland to the European swirl in the toilet of history!

[JoeSixPack1]

Religious based political parties are bad enough, but the cut your head off cult as a political party is the extreme short cut to sharia law.

Bye Bye Finland.

[inkling]

Mannerheim is rolling in his grave.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Finland has a population of 5.2 million. I don’t know what their immigration policy is.

OH. MY. GOD.

Sweden went down the toilet with this crap. I gotta talk to some relatives to get the scoop.

[SpaceBar]

If they had any idea what’s coming they’d be processing expatriation papers and visas round the clock and fueling up all available passenger aircraft capable of international flight.

[Adams]

Probably another Godless European country with citizens too busy chasing selfish dreams to procreate and then raise their own replacements. They probably have to import these people in order to keep their welfare state growing.

I really fear for Western Europe’s survival.

[Tzimisce]

Legal status for animal sacrifice? What does that mean?

I’m surprised that this isn’t a story from Sweden...

[Brad from Tennessee]

Yeah. Native Europeans have a negative population growth. The vacuum is being filled by Muslims. They don’t need car bombs or RPG’s as long as they keep having children who are capable of pulling levers in a voting booth.

People are beginning to wake up in France, Belgium and the Netherlands but it is probably too late.

[Route66]

I was not aware islamists were into animal sacrifice...other than cutting off the heads of infidels, of course.

[MaxMax]

We all know that Sharia law protects the Cheeeldren. /s

And so it begins again.

[weegee]

They pray over every animal they butcher for food. It is halal.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Finland has a population of 5.2 million. I don’t know what their immigration policy is.

So the 55,000 Muslims are a bit over 1% of the population?? Doesn't sound like a problem there. Frankly I don't understand any Muslim, coming from usually pretty warm climates, living in Finland. Baby it's COLD outside!!

[SatinDoll]

Of course they want Sharia Law.

It denies everyone but Muslim males civil and political rights, and would do zip - nada - nothing - to reduce crime, as crimes against non-muslims wouldn’t be recognized as such.

[Brad from Tennessee]

There is a small group of Tartar Muslims, originally from Russia, who have been there forever.

It gets pretty cold in Detroit but they have quite a few of them.

[MarMema]

Hopefully just male circumcision.
