Um... no I didn't. I posted a link to an article on his claims. I related them.

Does their law call for the stoning of young girls for having the audacity to get raped?

You really have a horse shit comparison here.

I don't believe I offered an opinion... but... no, I don't think sharia should be incorporated into UK law but so what; its entirely their choice.

Using a source that is mockingly called the "Daily Torygraph" doesn't help to further your claims.

frankly I don't give a shit if you believe me or not

ok... I had to look.,... briefly...

Projections

Don Melvin writes that, excluding Russia, Europe's Muslim population will double by 2020. He also says that in 2005, almost 85% of Europe's total population growth in 2005 was due to immigration in general.[14][16] Omer Taspinar predicts that the Muslim population of Europe will nearly double by 2015, while the non-Muslim will shrink by 3.5%, due to the higher Muslim birth rate.[17] Esther Pan predicts that, by 2050, one in five Europeans will likely be Muslim.[18][17]

Professor Philip Jenkins of Penn State University estimates that by 2100, Muslims will compose about 25% of Europe's population. But Jenkins admits this figure does not take account of the large birthrates amongst Europe's immigrant Christians.[19] Additionally, this estimation depends more on the supposed inevitability of the increase of Muslim population in the West and one person's research on the future of Europeans. Therefore, while Jenkins' estimation should be considered in the process of predicting what it would be like to live in the West in the year 2100, it should also be raising doubts about the entire European population.

Other analysts are skeptical about the given forecast and the accuracy of the claimed Muslim population growth, since sharp decrease in Muslim fertility rates[20] and the limiting of immigrants coming in to Europe, which will lead to Muslim population increasing slowly in the coming years to eventually stagnation and decline. Others point to overestimated number and exaggeration of the Muslim growth rate.[21]
