Sharia Traffic Law
The Sex Pistols couldn’t have been more wrong. It’s Sharia in the UK, as a Scottish court accepts the demands of two wives and a restaurant as the reason why Mohammed Anwar needed to put everyone else’s life in danger, by doing 64 in a 30 mph zone. Daily Mail.
When it comes to avoiding a ban for speeding, the courts hear every excuse in the book.
But yesterday one motorist offered what must be a unique reason why he should keep his licence.
Mohammed Anwar said a ban would make it difficult to commute between his two wives and fulfil his matrimonial duties.
…
Airdrie Sheriff Court had heard that Anwar was caught driving at 64mph in a 30mph zone in Glasgow, fast enough to qualify for instant disqualification.
Anwar admitted the offence, but Sheriff John C. Morris accepted his plea not to be banned and allowed him to keep his licence.
Instead, he was fined £200 and given six penalty points.
…
Lorna Jackson, from the road safety charity Brake, called the decision “astonishing”.
She said: “Regardless of the number of wives or businesses this man drives to, he broke a law which is there to protect everyone.
“Travelling just a few miles over the limit in a 30mph zone can be the difference between life and death if you hit someone, let alone driving at more than twice the speed limit.
“Drivers know the law, and they know the punishment they could face when they break it.
“For the courts to allow someone to keep their licence when they have so blatantly flouted the law and put peoples’ lives at risk, on the basis of an excuse such as this, is astonishing.”
Actually, the part I’m astonished about is that no one seems to be much concerned that this guy is married to two women. We call that bigamy in this country. Britain must be more advanced than us. Wait a minute, the scribbler’s gingerly addressing the subject.
Anwar, wearing a suit and an open-neck shirt, had made no comment during his five-minute court appearance, apart from confirming his identity.
But last night, speaking from his restaurant Sanam, he said: “It is true I have two wives.
“Muslim men are allowed up to four. But I am not a religious leader and it is not my place to comment.
“As a matter of respect to my wives I would not comment on my home life.
And we’re all done with that. It’s OK with Islam. I know they’re getting soft on Sharia over there but I wouldn’t mind hearing from an expert or an advocate or someone on whether extra wives is kosher in the UK.

“And I can get welfare benefits for both of them.”
I swear, if I ever hear about this kind of crap happening in the US, I’m going to start throwing bricks through somebody’s window.

polygamy is when a man has too many wives.
monogamy is when a man has too many wives.
married men don’t live longer than single men, it just seems that way.
why do married men die before their wives? because they can.
a man isn’t complete until he’s married; then he’s finished.
yes, i’m married…. happily even. (most days %-)
