Most of religions condemn it, Christianity and Judaism also, I think. But who cares of that ?

It makes me laugh because all the casinos in London are FULL of Muslims

The Muslim group are always going round pushing Shariah law to be introduced into England - Muslim women are FRIGHTENED - they often prefer England because they have more rights under English law.

Stoning for adultery. Amputations for theft. Death for apostates. And second-class status for Christians and Jews. This is life under Sharia law, the Islamic system practiced in countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Great Britain.

Yes, Great Britain.

There are reportedly some 85 Sharia courts now operating there, with Islamic judges ruling on cases ranging from financial to marital disputes among British Muslims.

"We went into some proceedings and there were a couple of Islamic judges sitting up above the rest," said Alan Craig, who recently stepped down as leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance party. "And there was one Muslim woman who was suing for divorce."

Craig is a former city councilor in East London, home to several Sharia courts where women face open discrimination.

"A woman's witness value is half that of a man," Craig told CBN News. "So [the courts] will tend, therefore, to take the man's position in a divorce."

Craig is working with Baroness Caroline Cox to pass a bill in Britain's House of Lords protecting women from this Sharia oppression.

Muslim women in Great Britain often face intimidation within their communities to settle things the Sharia way. According to Craig, some wrongly believe Islamic courts are their only option.

"What we're trying to do is say, Muslim women, especially in this country, need to be informed," he explained. "They actually have other rights and our view, better rights, under English law."

Sharia courts operate outside of British common law. Their defenders say the courts are legal under a 1996 Arbitration Act that allows people to settle differences through methods of their own choosing.

Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets

The courts have popped up in several British cities with large Muslim populations, including Birmingham, Bradford, Manchester, and London.

The Tower Hamlets section of East London is arguably the epicenter of the Sharia movement in Great Britain.

The impoverished borough has been dubbed "The Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets."

Its first elected mayor is a Muslim who critics say has ties to extremist groups. His office declined CBN News's request for an interview.

Radical Muslims have threatened women there for not covering up, and gays have been beaten in the streets.

"If people are afraid of having their hands cut, don't steal," UK Islamist leader Anjem Choduary said. "If you don't want to be stoned to death, don't commit adultery."

Choudary wants Sharia law to rule Great Britain.

Last year, his followers put up posters around Tower Hamlets labeling it a "Sharia-Controlled Zone" where "Islamic rules are enforced."

"We're sitting in a beautiful park here in East London," CBN News' Erick Stakelbeck observed during an interview with Choudary. "How would this park look different if Sharia came to the UK and your vision came to the UK?"

"Certainly, the adult women, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, would have to cover themselves, as indeed would the men," he responded.

Craig fears the growth of Sharia law in areas like East London could lead to Muslim enclaves isolated from mainstream British society.

"My feeling around here is that those that don't, those that isolate themselves, those that separate themselves is growing faster than those who (are) what we would call progressive," he said.

"A big marker for that route would be the number of women, the growth of the number of women around here wearing the full face veil, the burka," he continued. "And it's extraordinary how much younger and younger they get."

If we compare with UK, France are really anti-Sharia-Islamist country. Burqa is forbidden in the street and hijab is not even tolerated for State workers.

But the point is that France is an anti-religious country, against ALL religions except food and wine. We have 29% of Atheists against 13% for all the world.

England will have to become the same as France in order to survive - otherwise we will have civil unrest

There is also the fact that most of French Muslims are not extremist in their practice. Salafists are a real minority.

But even if a Christian would wish a religion tribunal it would be impossible because of our sacred laicity that is too extremist now : some want to forbid Christmas tree, Nativity Scene, Easter eggs etc. Not because of other religions but because of 'laicity'. That is stupid, most of people here celebrate Christmas out of any religious meaning, even Muslims !

Can someone tell me how is sharia law any different that mediation ? If someone is not happy with the decision of the mediator ,they can always take the matter to the court right ? . Going to court for civil matters is not always the wise thing to do and if a divorce case can be settle in a fair manner within a couple of days using sharia law ,most muslims would certainly prefer it over hiring a lawyer(300$ an hour ) and going to court for several months which results in huge cost , family disintegration , lose of respect , hatred , financial hardship and add to that the psychological impact on the children . Again i'm talking about civil matters no criminal matters .

There is unreasonable fear of Islam and muslims in the west and muslims are not helping their cause with these stupid demonstration against alcohol or gambling considering their sensitive situation . I bet you that if a group of english men and women made the same kind of demonstration they will be applauded for their effort in countering alcoholism , gambling , prostitution and so on .
The major player which is contributing to the crisis between mulsim and the rest is the media which constantly attack Islam and muslims directly and indirectly . Just have a look at the pamphlet that is being published here


3 aces
roulette
By the name of Allah the merciful....
Picture of a masked arab man ( in reference to terrorism )

Now , anyone with an ounce of brain will realize that this pamphlet is not made by a Muslim or any one with even limited knowledge of islam . No muslim will put the name of Allah beside the flaming aces and the roulette machine . No muslim will put a picture of a masked arab man who is portrayed as a terrorist here in their pamphlet to counter alcoholism or gambling because it is counter productive . This pamphlet is made up by none Muslim and in fact it is against Islam .
