Muslims and Sikhs Attack Cameron's Gay Marriage Plan David Cameron’s plan to legalise gay marriage is “unnecessary and unhelpful”, the country’s largest Muslim organisation has said.
By Tim Ross 19 Mar 2012 The leader of Britain’s Sikh community also attacked the proposal to extend the definition of marriage to same-sex couples, describing it as an “assault on religion”.
Senior Roman Catholic and Anglican bishops have already warned that the move will undermine social structures dating back thousands of years.
Mr Cameron is facing a backlash from his own supporters, with senior Tory MPs, including several ministers, expected to vote against the reforms.
However, he argues that the Conservatives should support gay marriage on the grounds that stability and commitment in relationships of any kind should be encouraged.
Last week, ministers published a consultation on how the changes to civil marriage laws will be introduced. The plans explicitly rule out alterations to religious marriage.
However, the Muslim Council of Britain said case for the government’s proposals was “strikingly weak”.
Farooq Murad, Secretary General of the MCB, said: “Whilst we remain opposed to all forms of discrimination, including homophobia, redefining the meaning of marriage is in our opinion unnecessary and unhelpful.
“With the advent of civil partnerships, both homosexual and heterosexual couples now have equal rights in the eyes of the law. “Therefore, in our view the case to change the definition of marriage, as accepted throughout time and across cultures, is strikingly weak.

You know your culture is rotten when even the muslim component of your population has more sense than the ruling class.
When will it occur to the morons of the Left that when the sharia is established as law all of their sacred cows (homosexuality, feminism, same sex marriage, communism, addictive drugs, public nudity, sexual license--you name it!) will be outlawed--and the laws enforced???
And good riddance!
With the exception of a small percentage of psychopathic leaders, Leftists are unbelievably stupid.
But, of course, if they were not stupid, they wouldn't be Leftists in the first place.
The stupid are drawn to the Left like a magnet.

There was a beheading in Saudi Arabia in the last couple of weeks. Of course, under sharia law, you are guilty until proven innocent, so the crime rate is pretty low, but there are a lot of people running around without heads, fingers or hands. I wonder if the leftists will complain when that starts happening in their neighborhood???
Betraying those who helped them seize power (or anyone else, for that matter) is no problem for Leftists.
Leftists are delusional. If they weren't they would be Leftists. Their assumption is that once the dictatorship is established, miraculously they will be in control!
Saw an article on this yesterday with the basic gist that someday, because of this, we may be hearing subjects of the British Crown exclaiming...”God Save The Queenes! How exciting!
