Legal Expert: European Court Ruling Could Open Door To Sharia In EU
Breitbart ^ | 12-28-2018 | hris Thomlinson

French legal expert Gregor Puppinck has said that a recent European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling in Greece could open up the door for limited aspects of Islamic sharia law to be adopted in Europe.

Puppinck, who serves as director of the European Center for Law and Justice (ECLJ) and is a member of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Panel of Experts on Freedom of Conscience and Religion, said that the ECHR ruling in Greece earlier this month runs counter to a previous judgement in 2003 that found sharia incompatible with “the fundamental principles of democracy,” Le Figaro reports.

The new ruling followed a case in which a Muslim woman in the Greek region of Thrace was deprived of her inheritance of her dead husband’s estate due to an application of sharia law which has been allowed in the region since the 1920s, despite his will naming her as his beneficiary.

Greek courts ruled the will to be void and determined the process be done under sharia law which led the ECHR to rule against the forced application of sharia in the case but not the use of sharia itself.

The ECHR instead spoke of the conditions for sharia law in Europe saying that countries could allow the parallel legal system if sharia is optional and not forced on Muslims and it does not run counter to “important public interests.”

Puppinck slammed the ruling saying it would open the door for pro-sharia political parties, such as the Islam Party in Belgium, to advocate for sharia law to act as though they were defending human rights by advocating for it.

“In law, as in the stock market, the value of values fluctuates. Facing them, however, sharia seems to enjoy great stability,” he said.

Nah.
The Roman Empire will rise again in the end times.

We are getting closer to another bloody fragmentation of Europe with the streets running red with blood.

Same cycle that has replayed continually for thousands of years.

Look for hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of dead bureaucrats left to rot in public places.

Europe needs to be cleansed of millions of Muslims. Do they have it in them to see the job through?

When do the euro’s realise there is no more room in the tent?

If Europe allows it, Europe deserves it.

Saw a quote years ago that said something like Oppression of an armed society can lead to a civil war, oppression of an unarmed society can lead to genocide.

This doesn’t look good for Europe. The EU gun control rules are even starting to turn the screws on the Swiss.

Was talking to a millennial today who said I have no problem with a global world. So I said instead of having the right to vote who controls your laws, you would have it handed over to a group of people you don’t have the right to vote for? The look on his face was priceless!

The saddest part of this experience was this family immigrated here from Israel about 20 years ago.

This is Europe.
They won't start with the jihadis, they will start with their Governments.

I suspect the many of the Muslims may leave early on as the free food and housing evaporate.

I’m no longer sure that our Republic has enough collective backbone left to survive another 100 years.

I’ll be long gone way before that, but my heart hurts at the thought of the best chance civilization has ever had being handed back to barbarians.

“The EU gun control rules are even starting to turn the screws on the Swiss.”

Eastern Europe and Germany are the primary centers for the illegal distribution of small arms throughout the world. If the Swedes want armaments, they can get all they need from their backyard.
