Am I the only one mourning the crumbling of the greatest nation of Western Civilization prior to the modern era?
Politicians and church leaders expressed concerns that this could mark the beginnings of a "parallel legal system" based on sharia for some British Muslims.
Dominic Grieve, the shadow home secretary, said: "If it is true that these tribunals are passing binding decisions in the areas of family and criminal law, I would like to know which courts are enforcing them because I would consider such action unlawful. British law is absolute and must remain so."
Douglas Murray, the director of the Centre for Social Cohesion, said: "I think it's appalling. I don't think arbitration that is done by sharia should ever be endorsed or enforced by the British state."
There are concerns that women who agree to go to tribunal courts are getting worse deals because Islamic law favours men.
Siddiqi said that in a recent inheritance dispute handled by the court in Nuneaton, the estate of a Midlands man was divided between three daughters and two sons.
The judges on the panel gave the sons twice as much as the daughters, in accordance with sharia. Had the family gone to a normal British court, the daughters would have got equal amounts.
In the six cases of domestic violence, Siddiqi said the judges ordered the husbands to take anger management classes and mentoring from community elders. There was no further punishment.
Every modern woman should be outraged that British women are being subjugated by Muslim religious law. Europe, specifically Spain, fought very hard to expel Sharia from within its borders. Sharia conflicts too greatly with Judeo-Christian law, upon which Western Civilization was built.They cannot coexist and it will only be a matter of time before Brits become dhimmis. Not afraid of Sharia? You should be. Why don't you take a look at some of these recent news articles involving Sharia?
(not for children)
Under Sharia:
-
the age of consent for a girl is nine
-
slavery is permissible
-
a daughter's inheritance is half that of her brother's
-
apostacy is punishable by death
-
an assaulted woman must provide four witnesses or she is guilty of fornication
-
a Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim man
-
homosexuality is punishable by death
Whoopi Goldberg's afraid of John McCain "returning" her to slavery? She should be more afraid of England's (and Scotland's) nose dive to Sharia.
