Islamic courts meet every week in the UK to rule on divorces and financial disputes. Clare Dwyer Hogg and Jonathan Wynne-Jones report on demands by senior Muslims that sharia be given legal authority.

Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

How could a nation have laws against bigamy and allow practicing muslims to immigrate to their country while practicing Islam? It seems bizarre to me...also, how could we allow bigamy in America?

Muslims should not be able to immigrate here if they do not observe all our laws. Otherwise, they would be felons, or whatever, under western laws and ineligible for citizenship. Deportation should be mandatory to whomever refuses to abide by our laws....that includes all illegals.

I think I'll move to Saudi Arabia and ask to setup a special court where secular or Christian doctrine will be used to deliver justice to us foreigners that have brought our own religions and traditions to the country. I'll do this as soon as I cruise up to Mecca just to have a look around.

‘We want to offer sharia law to Britain’

Interesting use of the word ‘offer’.

Boulders. Round the clock protection for me would include a couple of personal weapons on a hair trigger.

‘We want to demand sharia law in Britain’

There fixed it.

I would offer Britain the US Constitution. And while we’re at it, we could use it, too.

Will they offer sticks to the obedient who wish to beat their wives on the rump while, in the best tradition of Islam, avoiding the women’s faces?

how could we allow bigamy in America?

Look at the Mormon fundamentalists for an example. Wife #1 is recognized by law, the rest are marriages under their religion but are unregistered with the state.

So how many English officials has stood up to say, “We already have a law. It is secular, and observes and protects the rights of all citizens equally. If you do not wish to obey the secular law, you will be put in prison for breaking it. Sharia Law only matters to the very few who will honor it in addition to the secular law. Sharia Law has no authority to replace, supersede, undermine, or bypass the secular law. As such, it is unimportant.”
