“Somalis, wherever we live in the world, have our own law.”
Wonder if someone is checking what goes on in places such as Rochester, MN and in the huge Somali population in Vermont?
slowly it will become Europe's new Court replacing the EU
The Mohammadens tried this where I practice law in some domestic violence cases. The judges are quite clear and direct that they don't care about Islamic cultural traditions and "legal systems", advise them that in their courtrooms American law applies and then proceed to apply it with vigor. These attempts to apply Sharia around here seem to have died down.
Good to here.
Here=Hear. Dang spell check!
Most of europe (soon to be eurabia) is looking at this type of situation.
Want to lose sleep over this issue? Read "AMERICA ALONE" by Mark Steyn.
Is this really going on? If so are patriotic Brits as outraged as patriotic Americans are?

On the latter thread I remarked - "Contrary to what the article suggests, Muslim populations in the UK tend to be rather concentrated in specific parts of two or three large cities - the idea that Sharia courts now operate in most larger cities is to me, an exaggeration." (italics are quotes from the article).
Um, I do believe this violates British law. Why doesn't the ACLU represent the victims of sharia law in this obvious violation of their constitutional rights?
I take it none of those judges were appointed by Clinton.
Congratulations on living in a place where judges still vigorously apply the law as it is given to them, instead of trying to be "progressive" for the Democrats.
"in the huge Somali population in Vermont?"
I didn't know that such a population existed. Does that mean that all the former New York leftists (see Howard Dean) will now move out?
Because the American Civil Liberties Union is primarily concerned with what goes on in America and doesn't hire many experts in UK constitutional rights and because in the story as published no British resident or American or even Somali was identified as a victim of sharia law?
<< slowly (Sharia) will become Europe's new Court replacing the EU >>
Slowly?
You kid yourself!
Inexorably, perhaps -- but not slowly.
That is certainly reasonable, and hardly worth fretting over. If they start ordering physical punishment, violence, retribution or special punishment against women, then the government should intervene.
Dont have the ACLU here. Dont have a constitution as such either, so no probs :)
And what if the attackers refuse?
Interest free loans and mortgages??? That would mean that if the bank was forced to do this, the interest they are NOT making would be shoved over onto the rest of us.
I feel this is totally discrimination.
I certainly hope some lawyer feels the same way and files suit for same.
If they want to live outside Islam countries, they can conform to the rules here.
If I were a banker-like my grandad was- I would refuse to do business with them. Interest free loans, indeed? What is next? Retailers selling to them at cost???
Must be tough to try and live in 2006 and use cave man mentality. My apologies to the cave man!!!
