Sharia law SHOULD be used in Britain

Sharia law SHOULD be used in Britain, says UK's top judge
The most senior judge in England yesterday gave his blessing to the use of sharia law to resolve disputes among Muslims.
Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips said that Islamic legal principles could be employed to deal with family and marital arguments and to regulate finance.
He declared: 'Those entering into a contractual agreement can agree that the agreement shall be governed by a law other than English law.'
In his speech at an East London mosque, Lord Phillips signalled approval of sharia principles as long as punishments - and divorce rulings - complied with the law of the land.
But his remarks, which back the informal sharia courts operated by numerous mosques, provoked a barrage of criticism.

How bucko?

In his speech at an East London mosque, Lord Phillips signalled approval of sharia principles as long as punishments - and divorce rulings - complied with the law of the land.

Not really possible as English Law doesn't recongnise Islamic marriage ceremonies, unless attended by a registrar, which they seldom ever are. What a complete tit!

Why are all our senior judges such stupid old farts. It would be funny if it wasnt so dangerous. He should be replaced at once.

Know when a bastard finds a Zit, and scratches and picks at it until it needs bloody surgery to repair?

WELL THAT is the danger here.

Give a muslim a wee chink of light and he will see it as the greatest victory ever and PROOF that the West are a shower of soft bastards.

Dpo NOT give the enemy succour. Every twat that gives them even an ATOM of hope needs hanging as a bloody traitor.

'In his speech at an East London mosque, Lord Phillips signalled approval of sharia principles as long as punishments - and divorce rulings - complied with the law of the land.'

'Lord Phillips said that any sanctions must be 'drawn from the laws of England and Wales'. Severe physical punishment - he mentioned stoning, flogging or amputating hands - is 'out of the question' in Britain, he added.'
'The Ministry of Justice said: 'English law takes precedence over any other legal system. The Government has no intention of changing this position. Alongside this, it is possible to resolve civil law dispute by other systems.'
Just to clarify for all you headline readers...............

Makes no difference Bruv. THIS is a Christian country and ONLY Christian law should prevail.

'In his speech at an East London mosque, Lord Phillips signalled approval of sharia principles as long as punishments - and divorce rulings - complied with the law of the land.'

Only if the marriage is recognised in English/Welsh Law

'Lord Phillips said that any sanctions must be 'drawn from the laws of England and Wales'. Severe physical punishment - he mentioned stoning, flogging or amputating hands - is 'out of the question' in Britain, he added.' NO, It's illegal!!!.

'The Ministry of Justice said: 'English law takes precedence over any other legal system. The Government has no intention of changing this position. Alongside this, it is possible to resolve civil law dispute by other systems.' But not in a way recognised by English/Welsh Courts.

....................... and that rulings incompatible with English law should never be enforceable.
.......He added there is 'widespread misunderstanding as to the nature of sharia law'.

Resolution, the organisation of family law solicitors, said people should govern their lives in accordance with religious principles 'provided that those beliefs and traditions do not contradict the fundamental principle of equality on which Britain's laws are based.'

'..........must be used to find solutions which are consistent with the basic principles of family law in this country and people must always have redress to the civil courts where they so choose.'

'Everybodyis governed by English law and it is not possible to sign away your legal rights.

None what so ever......why ?

Before long we will be living by Sharia law, it should not be sanctioned!!!!! The laws of the country should suffice if they don't bog of to a country that recognises your laws!!!

[Bruv]

As far as I am concerned the British Law has the final word, any divergance from UK Law is wrong, any add ons to the system must be within our laws.

But there is no reason at all why we should not accomodate improvements to our own system..................As long as it doesn't break our own laws.

And that is what the article says...............apart from the attention seeking headline.
