"Forty per cent of Muslims between the ages of 16 and 24 said they would prefer to live under sharia law in Britain, a legal system based on the teachings of the Koran. The figure among over-55s, in contrast, was only 17 per cent.

In some countries, people found guilty under sharia law face penalties such as beheading, stoning, the severing of a hand or being lashed."

Not exactly what I wanted to read with my morning coffee.

When a group of free people not only advocate for the destruction of their freedom, but work actively for it, how long can the rest of us allow them that freedom before it becomes a serious threat to that very freedom we hold so dear? And how can we remove their freedom without also limiting or destroying our own?

Damn. I need a donut.
