RE:The report quotes two senior social welfare experts based in Lancashire (one of the most "multicultural" areas in Britain), who estimate that there are now at least 20,000 bigamous or polygamous Muslim unions in England and Wales. This would imply that if the average size of such a "family" is 15 people around 300,000 people are living in polygamous families in Britain.

Further, the multiple marriages are encouraged by recent changes to the British welfare system: it allows Muslim immigrants to have a second, third or fourth wife (or in some cases five or more) treated as a single mother who can get a house and an array of other state payments for herself and her children at the taxpayers' expense.

In other news, the BBC reported on January 16 that the use of Islamic Sharia law is growing in Britain, with thousands of Muslims now using it to settle disputes each year.

At least 85 Sharia councils are now operating in Britain and some Sharia bodies such as the Islamic Sharia Council -- based in Leyton, east London, it is the largest such council in Britain -- have seen a large increase in their cases in the past five years.







The UK is doomed.
