I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm hearing this is the case regarding Muslims in the UK. There are sections of the UK where the police don't even go because Sharia Law is taking over.
You need to stop following Donald Trump on Twitter
Thought I recognised that statement. Absolute bollocks.

There are in fact areas the police are not able to patrol heavily. I grew up in Slough which now has areas where the police do not go unless they are in force and in riot gear, there are also parts of East London which are in a similar bad spot.
I was passing through Woolwich Arsenal, a massive fight had broken out....between 2 groups of angry white men....wearing different football uniforms.
Sharia law has nothing to do with it, its down to crime and vandalism, There are cases of gangs harassing women and individuals using "Sharia" as justification but they are in the minority.
Christianity also has its fair share of violent fools. Look at the Westboro baptist church.

Interesting to basically see confirmation of what I heard.
Of course evil things are do in the name of any/everything. Sharia is just the one I heard about. -

You said they used it as justification- regardless of how it's used the fact is that it was used.

Ok fine it's not taking over but it is why the police don't go in those areas unless in force - or at least the give excuse.

Those parts of his statement weren't related, there is harassment of the public with Sharia used as an excuse in the smallest of minorities. Remove Muslims from the UK and there would be no fewer of these areas where police don't feel safe to patrol.
I don't mind what you say about the police, but using your statement about Muslims with no idea of the actual situation seems stupid and targeted.

By that standard, Sharia law is "taking over" the US too, including Nebraska. Do you feel that that is a good statement?

European work law is great, especially if you have a family. It's similar to Italy or better in most European countries.
In the U.S., it's hardcore capitalism... all about pinching pennies and screwing the employees if need be. There's a lot of exceptions (of course, like where John Nicholson works, and my employer is great), but generally speaking I mean. If you have a higher position in an F500 company it is most likely OKAY. But still, never even close to how good it is in Europe. That's why they are always named the happiest countries, especially the Scandinavian counties and Canada.My sister gets 6 months in DC working for a non-profit.Plenty of companies offer generous benefits like this, they are just normally not SMBs.

I got that for a little company in California, too.

@scottalanmiller At the MSP I worked at we were the low cost operations/network team for some nordic companies because their benefits made it borderline impossible to have operations staff...
38 hour work week means you often have IT staff stop responding to email/calls before Thursday.
2-3 week holidays where the whole country shuts down effectively. (China and Thailand are bad about this too).
I've been watching the hiring process for a new team member in EMEA and it's insane all the crazy paperwork and weird stuff.
-
@matteo-nunziati The issue isn't the cost, the issue is operation issues. SMB's often dangerously live with institutional knowledge and relationships for sales being tied to 1-2 people. The wrong people go on leave and the company will implode.
You actually reach a point to where this leads to discrimination in hiring. I worked for a SMB that hired someone in a critical 1 person role who got pregnant and went on leave. We had to pay significant premiums to bring back old staff to consult and if they had not been available that entire piece of operations might have fallen apart (even beyond the cost of the supplemental labor). I can see unscrupulous managers avoiding hiring younger women for this reason.

@Breffni-Potter We have this in Houston (3rd ward). I wouldn't go into some area in the middle of the day without a roof gunner. I lived in 6th ward (not quite as bad) and ambulances wouldn't come to my house without a police escort.

Same thing that keeps many women from running businesses on their own when they are young. It's easier for a man to start a one or two person business. A woman getting pregnant and needing leave from her own one person business is the biggest possible impact. One could say that every woman of child bearing years that isn't running her own company is discriminating in that way.

One could reasonably argue that all dry towns and counties in America are practising limited Sharia law. As it goes against the beliefs of society, healthy, safety, all major religious beliefs and has no reasonable source except Sharia to have a law like that. It's the only rational source of the desire for alcohol free towns.

@scottalanmiller Always loved CS Lewis's quote on this.

Exactly. Christ gave wine. There is very little that the Bible doesn't go more out of the way to point out as being good and appropriate. Not only does the Bible allow its use, in demands it. It's pretty clear on that.

Yeah, U.S. history has really twisted the entire viewpoint of the Puritans horribly. Hell the log book from one of the ships states they stopped at Plymouth because they were running out of beer among other things.
