Nice to be a Muslim in Scotland.

Very nice in fact because if the case of Mohammed Anwar is anything to go by, the law will be bent in your favour. On the 21st of August 2007 Anwar was caught doing 64mph in a 30mph zone. This kind of mad driving is usually an automatic disqualification beef. However, when Anwar told Airdrie Sheriff Court that the loss of his licence would make it awkward for him to flit between wife number 1 in Motherwell and wife number 2 in Glasgow, Sheriff J.C. Morris promptly ruled that he could by all means keep his licence. Depriving him of it would be an intolerable impediment to the discharge of his Muslim matrimonial obligations.

No doubt if Anwar had creamed a non-Muslim, the good Sheriff would have lent a sympathetic ear to a plea that under sharia the death of a mere kaffir is as nothing when balanced against one's Islamic duty. Welcome to the Islamic Republic of Scotland.
