UK's first official Sharia courts

Monday, 15 September 2008 13:12

The Sunday Times (14 Sept) reports that 'Islamic law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases'.

The paper claims that the courts' prior status, working on the basis of voluntary compliance, has been superseded with the rulings of five sharia courts in Britain enjoying the power of enforcement through the county courts or High Court.

The Sun also features an online discussion on 'Sharia law: Will it fuel extremism in the UK'

The Daily Mail (15 Sept) covers the story, 'Islamic sharia courts in Britain are now 'legally binding' and The Sun reports that 'Islamic law has been ushered into Britain by the back door', (Sharia Law get 'OK' in Britain', 15 Sept.

Readers' comments in the forum reflect the usual BNP sympathies and anti Muslim prejudices characteristic of the redtops. Commentors on the news item have posted these comments:'What else must we endure under this government.. They do everything against our national interests. Muslims and immigrants get far more attention from Brown and his so called ministers than WE the indigenous British people ever get.'

'This man is such a liability to this country its beyond a joke!! How much more damage can he be allowed to do? If only we had someone with guts to sort the extremist muslims out once and for all for all our sakes (& that includes moderate muslims!!!!)'

'It is time that this whole Islamic thing should be brought into perspective in the UK and in the EU. This is the west and not the Middle East/Asia and we Brits want our ways and not theirs. If I wanted to live in the Middle Ages then I would revert to live in the Middle East or Asia under their terms. But I am British and want a British (West) way of life.'

And trying to make the BNP's rhetoric appear rational, 'Truth Always' posted the following:

'There are now over 7 million muslims living in the UK... 10 years ago there were 1.5 million. In ten years time how many will there be then?

Muslim families often have many children and only last week radical muslims were ***AGAIN*** preaching hate stating that the best way to take over Britain is to breed so that they outnumber the 'infidels'.

People think the BNP is racist through beleiving the controlled media. If people bothered to read the NUJ guidelines which all mainstream media must adhere to then you would realise that they are told to slur parties like the BNP! Read their guidelines online if you don't believe me.

The LibLabCon trick won't curb and control this Muslim invasion in case they offend them... only the BNP will sort this out.'
