Sharia law could play a role in some parts of the legal system, the most senior judge in England and Wales has said.
The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, emphatically ruled out the possibility of sharia courts sitting in this country or deciding penalties.
But in a speech at the East London Muslim Centre in Whitechapel he said there was no reason why sharia principles could not be used in "mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution".
Sharia - a set of principles governing the way that many Muslims believe one should live one's life - suffered from "widespread misunderstanding" by the rest of the world, he added.
Lord Phillips said: "There is no reason why sharia principles, or any other religious code, should not be the basis for mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
"It must be recognised, however, that any sanctions for a failure to comply with the agreed terms of mediation would be drawn from the laws of England and Wales."
The Lord Chief Justice told his audience that severe physical punishments such as flogging, stoning and the cutting off of hands would not be acceptable.

Theme song of the new not-so-Great Britain: "Killing Me Softly"
50 years until Sharia law rules Brittania, at the most.
That’s why they wear those friggin wigs so nobody will recognize ‘em on the street. Great July 4th reminder for us here in the US of A
Two words: “America Alone” by Mark Steyn
And as crazy it seems, there are people in the US
who watch the UK train wreck, then work to bring it here...
But this same man would probably pull his hair out if someone forced him to put the 10 Commandments up in the main courtroom. And yet the government should enforce religious principles?
Bye-bye England...hello Englanistan.
You get what you’re willing to tolerate. You Brits should have rounded them up and deported them. Humanely, but firmly.
Oh yeah, and would the women get a share of say in this mediation? Or would their civil rights as a UK citizen trump Sharia law? Oh who am I kidding. Sharia law is all about not giving women rights.
The following is adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat:
Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system.
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.
Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called ‘religious rights.’
When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to ‘the reasonable’ Muslim demands for their ‘religious rights,’ they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
United States — Muslim 1.0%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1%-2%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States ).
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago — Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 10-15%
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 99.9%
Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.
‘Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel. – Leon Uris, ‘The Haj’
It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.
Muslims are less than 3% of the U.K. population. Why would they change their law for such a small minority?
Goodbye England, and if McCain loses this election, goodbye America.
How about the muslims learning to adapt to a new country and culture like everyone else has done instead.
Britain has plenty of stones.Perhaps volunteer executioners throwing rocks at loose women,homosexuals and those who insult the prophet will make the UK reconsider Capital Punishment for economic reasons.
Can’t believe they were were our “Mother Country!”
Motherflunkies are what they are now.
Give 'em a couple years.
“Goodbye England, and if McCain loses this election, goodbye America.”
Its a lock “goodbye America” if McCain wins. He is the only candidate positively known to be on the payroll of KLA Mohammedan terrorists. And he has been for years.
The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers has never heard of the camel and his nose.
Why not?
The Plague did.
The Blitz did.
The Great Fire did.
The Labour Government did.
What's one more horrible disaster?
The headline on the story at Drudge now says SHOULD.
careful judge, sometimes when you make a sandwich it turns around and bites you.
The bottom half of that list reads like a geographic Who’s Who of Crazy.
Well now, that’s just freakin’ scary!
The only place Sharia law should have in any legal system is the sweet justice of the bolt-action rifle between the eyes of anyone who practices Sharia. End of discussion.
Damn, the UK is going under fast. Wonder what happened to them? They used to be a great people. This is shameful.
Because the Socialists that control that government want to destroy all remaining vestiges of English nationalism and Christianity. They’ll use whatever means they think will accomplish it - and slowly, Fabian-style, because they know what will happen if the majority of people wake up and realize what they’re doing.
In their stupidity, they believe they can control the moslems easier. They’ll find out otherwise, and at the expense of the disarmed English people. This is what happens when you allow these people (liberals) to get control of your government. They forcibly disarm you, they pass laws making you a criminal for exercising your rights, then deliberately import/allow foreign invaders to impose themselves upon your society, and then scream at you “racist!!!!” or “Nativist!!!!” for resenting/resisting it.
Sort of like what Our Very Own Fifth Column(c), the DemoComs, are trying to do here. See, “Border, lack of enforcement...” See “Gun Control vs Gun Rights”.
Can’t have their little world socialist revolution as long as people are willing to fight back and have the means to do so, and as long as people still believe in their country and it’s past, heritage, and traditions and are willing to fight to preserve them.
Look at the rest of Europe as well. Moslems in Norway? In Denmark? In Sweden, for crying out loud???? Holland is being slowly absorbed by them. France as well.
When you don’t/can’t fight back, either because the means to do so is deprived to you, or more importantly the WILL to do so has been brainwashed out of you, your society is doomed.
IF [and its insane to even contemplate it] you 'accept' any principle of sharia, the result MUST conform eventually...
this tyrant is either willfully evil or is the epitome of the useful idiot...
aint nuthin about this slippery slope that a set of skis wont fix.../sarc
God's little lesson to man is right on schedule...
