INCOMING Prime Minister Theresa May has defended her position on Sharia Law on the eve of taking over as the leader of the Conservative party.
May sparked controversy when she spoke out in support of the Islamic courts operating in the country, telling the nation they could "benefit a great deal" from Sharia teachings.
The future Tory leader made the comments as she ordered a review into the system which are accused of ordering women to stay with abusive partners.
The Home Secretary, when asked by Buzzfeed's Emily Ashton about a group which says she supports Sharia in the UK, said she is "concerned" that the ‘law’ is operating in a way that could be counter to "our single rule of law”.
She said: “I've been the politician who's been willing to say no.
"I'm concerned that Sharia law is operating in a way that could discriminate against women and that could be counter to what is our single rule of law that we have in the UK.
“So there is one rule of law in the UK - that's why I've set up the review that I have, chaired by Professor Mona Siddiqui, and that will be looking at the operation of Sharia law and whether it is actually operating to discriminate against women and counter to our overall rule of law.”
Mrs May, said she is worried the courts are "misused" and "exploited" to discriminate against Muslim women, but defended their place in society.
Sharia is Islam's legal system derived from both the Koran, Islam's central text, and fatwas - the rulings of Islamic scholars.
There are thought to be around 100 Sharia Law courts operating throughout the UK, dispensing Islamic justice outside the remit of our own legal system.
Judgements handed down by the informal courts have no legal basis, but there are fears their presence means many Muslim women are not getting access to the justice they deserve.
Now, before she takes over Number 10, May has been forced to restate her position on Sharia Law.
Sharia councils aim to help resolve family, financial and commercial problems in accordance with Sharia principles.
The majority of cases involve women wanting to end their Islamic marriage.
The review, which will last up to 18 months, will investigate whether there are instances where British law is being broken in the name of Sharia.
Top Tory Mrs May, who wanted Britain to stay in the European Union, insisted the inquiry will not look into the legality of Sharia Law courts in a move designed to reassure Muslims.
Would she allow Catholic legal doctrine to occur? How about Jews using the Talmud for legal rulings?
the Paper Lady
“May sparked controversy when she spoke out in support of the Islamic courts operating in the country, telling the nation they could “benefit a great deal” from Sharia teachings. “
Is she insane? We should learn from Sharia law?????!!!!!
Kind of looks like Jeb Bush too.
I wish one of these politicians would please tell me why it is so important to them that Islam takes over the world.
“The review, which will last up to 18 months, will investigate whether there are instances where British law is being broken in the name of Sharia.”
So take a year and a half, with some PC committee trying to find out something we know already.
Perhaps Theresa May getting raped by one of the islamic scumbags might change her mind!
” So there is one rule of law in the UK - that’s why I’ve set up the review that I have, chaired by Professor Mona Siddiqui,”
Nothing more fair regarding what to do about sharia law than letting an Islamist decide.
Truly pathetic. The Brits are going to get screwed again with this loser in charge.
Another Brit. preparing to play patty-cake with The Devil.
She will have to learn the hard way, the way Neville Chamberlain did, after the fact.

That a politician so severely compromised and indefatigably intent upon appeasing Islamic supremacist interests as Theresa May would be the most likely next Prime Minister of Great Britain demonstrates how far Britain has fallen, and how desperately needed is a sweeping-out of its political elites.
Strange that over one million Englishman demanded the end of the NWO /Muslim cuckold fetish. And, in response, the got a double dose of it. Oh well, at least the Uniparty is not an American phenomenon.
She puts a Muslim academic in charge of evaluating the role of Sharia law in the UK/?? great.....

As I have said, May is 100 TIMES WORSE than Cameron. The UK is in for some MAJOR pain under this detestable bitch
Time for Nigel Farage to show up and take her to the cleaners.
That's the way it was DESIGNED to operate, you twit.
voting for Brexit will prove a worthless effort at recapturing Great Britain..... if London doesn’t remove the Moslem invaders ASAP
Let me guess: "Not all Muslims behave toward infidel girls like Muslims in Rotherham behaved toward infidel girls!"
Conservative party there is like Republican party here.
UKIP will eventually destroy them.
