UK Muslims want special holidays...

And, sharia law for family matters.
Muslim leaders summoned to talks with the Government on tackling extremism in their midst called for public holidays to mark their religious festivals.

The Whitehall meeting was set up in response to last week's airline bomb plot discovery.

Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly had prepared an uncompromising message on the need to tackle dangerous radicalism.

But, in what she admitted were 'sharp' exchanges, some senior Muslim figures turned the tables yesterday and made a series of demands which also included the introduction of Sharia law for family matters.

Dr Syed Aziz Pasha, secretary general of the Union of Muslim Organisations of the UK and Ireland, said: 'We told her if you give us religious rights, we will be in a better position to convince young people that they are being treated equally along with other citizens.'

But did you read the comments attached to that article by readers?

No chance. In fact, the "mozzies", as they are called in parts of London, have created a lot of backlash.

To all Mozzies,
Special holiday time is fine, but please try to curb the immense blubbering and consistant infantile cries for absolute accommodation.

Sweaty,screachy demands do little to foster tolerance or further a peaceful coexistance for anyone.

Celebrate the holiday in the spirit in which it was intended.

Good muslims embrace death, even by suicide. So why don't they do all civilized people a favour by knocking themselves out - Allah will give them all the Sharia law and other crap they want in the afterlife....

Civilized people are getting tired of their whining ways...
