You mean.........they actually have to discuss this?????
Yes.
What people don’t understand here is that reports that the British legal system is ‘supporting Sharia courts’ are a sign of British resistance to creeping Islamization. There is not in fact any British law that gives special status to Sharia courts.
In the U.K., as in some of these United States, there are laws permitting parties to a civil dispute to submit to binding arbitration by a mutually agreed arbiter, whose decisions are enforcable by the courts. Orthodox Jews often take advantage of these laws to have disputes settle by a rabbinic court. In theory, Christians could have their bishop serve as a binding arbiter to decide matters in accord with canon law. So long as such a binding arbitration law exists, it would be impossible constitutionally in the the U.S. and politically in Britain to say, “you can have a mutually agreed arbiter, so long as it’s not a mullah or imam applying Sharia.”
Naturally, pious Muslims will wish to have disputes arbitrated in accord with Sharia, just as pious Jews will wish rabbinic law to be applied, and pious Christians ought to prefer canon law to civil law. Unfortunately, politicized Muslims want to use the to ‘normalize’ Sharia in the context of societies where heretofore Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence has been the uniform and unchallenged norm.
