Default Members Bill Today - Outlawing Sharia Law in UK

A private members bill will be debated in Parliament today , to decide whether Sharia Courts should be permitted in the UK.

Apparently there are 85 courts currently presiding at the moment , making judgments outside of British Law.
It will be interesting to see which MP's are proposing to vote for the Bill and which MP's are voting to reject it.

Devils advocate here.

These "courts" aren't legally enforceable in the UK. Isn't it in simple terms a bunch of people in a club doing by what a governing committee says?

Yes this is basically correct, the same way that we have Jewish Courts too. But it's difficult to get all outraged when you bother to look into the facts.

Until the "decisions" of these "courts" start impacting on the lives of REAL people, some of whom moved here so as to be away from this sort of crap.

I think that law should not be allowed in the UK and if it is they should be tried for crimes under their law as it is in Middle East.

It might not mention it by name, but if you take the trouble to read the text it's pretty clear that major parts of it are likely to have had Sharia (or Sharia-derived culture) in mind when it was drafted:

For the purposes of subsection (11), discrimination on grounds of sex includes but is not restricted to —
(a) treating the evidence of a man as worth more than the evidence of a woman, or vice versa,
(b) proceeding on the assumption that the division of an estate between male and female children on intestacy must be unequal, or
(c) proceeding on the assumption that a woman has fewer property rights than a man, or vice versa.”
Steps under subsection (3A) should include but not necessarily be restricted to —
(a) informing individuals of the need to obtain an officially recognised marriage in order to have legal protection, and

(b) informing individuals that a polygamous household may be without legal protection and a polygamous household may be unlawful.
It could of course be primarily targeted at Mormons, but given that according to latest figures, the followers of Joseph Smith are outnumbered in this country by their Koran-reading counterparts by over 15 to 1, I'm going to say that's unlikely

See, what enrages me is that your average lefty woman will shout the loudest to uphold the rights of Muslims...while not caring a jot for oppressed Muslim women.

You couldn't make it up.

Then you'd be wrong.

The most dangerous person in the world, at present, if a socialist woman. Self-centred to a t.

Just look at that pratt at the SNP?
