Islamic law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases.

This is major. It WILL NOT STOP THEIR!

What the British are Implicitly admitting by allowing sharia is that there is no need for immigrants to conform to any British standard.  And what could be a more basic standard than civil law?  They are admitting that their country and their heritage are worthless, which they must be, if they want to allow the muslims to have their own system of civil law.  I wonder what the average joe in England thinks about this.

Legally.

For civil disputes. Not criminal ones.
if 2 people have a dispute, they can agree to a 3rd party to sort if out for them.


jewish courts operate through this.. as do "sharia" courts.

their powers are limited.

there has been talk by muslims of extending those powers. But mostly in the press we get this nonsense -shock horror- articles, about sharia sharia law being adopted in britain.  I'm sure muslim arbitrators going by islammic law have been arbitraring for decades.. it's not big deal.

It would be interesting if muslims push for capital punishment in their courts.

None of this is any danger to regular britons. You only face the judgement of whatever civil arbitrator, if you agree to go to them.  If a sharia court gets more powerful, it would only affect muslims anyway, because regular people wouldn't go to a sharia court.

Of course, extending the powers of these courts would be pandering to muslims, making things more comfortable for them, and there's a danger in that.

This is a slippery slope

It is coming to Canada and will work its way into the US.

This is too bad but I think this will prevent Whites converting to Islam in Britain because of the cruel punishments prescribed in the Sharia law.

There is a Civil War coming to the UK, I hope it starts sooner than later while the brits have the numbers. I'm English and Irish but i identify as Irish so screw England anyway.

[Rubystars]

England for the English Ireland for the Irish, Muslims can go to hell

don't assume that we are going to have sharia capital punishments in britain!

we are still a long way off from that.

muslims won't expect govt support for it. They are just taking what they can get.
It may happen on an individual level, like honour killings. But I don't expect it on an official level.

here is an article about sharia (leftist paper, but it looks like care was taken in this article about sharia)

Crazy

The degeneration has begun and 666moonstarflag has started thinking fast of climbing on westminister.

Of course, extending the powers of these courts would be pandering to muslims, making things more comfortable for them, and there's a danger in that.

      This is a major concern.      Each time a government makes concessions towards Muslims,   the latter senses weakness.        They will continue to push for more and more concessions.   

      There's no question that the best solution to the problem is making things uncomfortable for Muslims.    To the extent that they will want to leave the country.

[SAMSON]

Every day I notice more and more coming here, where are elected officials and why are we not holding them to enforcing the immigration laws of this country. They are a bunch of wimps! They are frightened to take a stance.

I don't think that muslims wan't to take over America. They wan't to destroy it.

How better to do it than eating through the heart of it.
