Sharia law is man made law it isnt mentioned in the Quran that all humans have to follow it.
I can steer this back on topic quite easily. The current mayer of London frequents a Deobandi mosque. What do you think the average visitor of that mosque thinks about your above statement?
I think when the King of Jordan and 200 Islamic scholars were defining who should be called Muslims in the Amman message, they were clearly not talking about you.

ffs I guess I set the ball rolling.... this topic isn't about religion, but if you guys insist.... you cannot take the beliefs of a handful of people and claim that those stand far a majority. There are as many interpretations of a religion as there are followers - people pick and choose which parts that justify what they were going to do, or think anyway. You're making an assumption about what visitors to that particular mosque think, here's a clue: unless you have asked every single one - you don't know. The fact those lads on the streets allegedly trying to enforce a set of laws they believe in is meaningless with regards to religion, by doing that you're implying that their views are shared by a far greater number of people.
And dannyf, whilst I'm sure there are 'revolutions' somewhere, the idea of breaking the law to change the law these days, in *this* country, is at best, antiquated. Plenty of people still break the law for their belief's, like animal rights activists and they do so not for the greater good, but because they want something to fight for, to be seen to be making a difference, whilst simultaneously enjoying the safety of a modern welfare state with all its conveniences. Walk on wallstreet was a similar affair - a few dedicated well meaning individuals amongst many 'I'm important look at me! I hate capitalism but still want to keep my iphone and facebook even though they were both fruits of such a regime'. [/rant]
Edit: after 10 mintues that looks far too ranty and off-topic.. I wold delete but then I'll just look like I've said something really outlandish
