We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to petition the Houses of Parliament to deny political office e.g. Member of Parliament, to anyone whose religion declares an intent or desire to overcome the incumbant governmental system now or in the future with any theocratic system that contains in it’s doctrine endorsement of violence towards those who offend it's prophet's or values.

More details from petition creator
The aim of this ruling would be to make clear to religious groups of any type that if the religion they are affiliated to has any association (anywhere in the world) with intolerance, violence, oppression of non-aligned groups or has a declared intent to replace the insitu form of government with their own system, then their candidates for office in local or national government will be prohibited. Standing members of local or national government who are not prepared to renounce associations with such organisations will lose such positions. This will protect and preserve Britain’s democratic and tolerant principles.
