Muslims in Britain should be able to live according to Sharia law, the country's most senior judge has said. The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips
Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, the Lord Chief Justice, strongly backed Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, over his suggestion earlier this year that aspects of Sharia law should be adopted in Britain.
The archbishop's remarks sparked a national debate and led to calls for his resignation.
Risking inflaming that controversy again, Lord Phillips has said that Muslims in Britain should be able to use Sharia to decide financial and marital disputes.
The judge did add that only the criminal courts should have the power to decide when a crime has been committed and when to impose punishment.
But his suggestion that different religious groups should run their affairs according to different rules sparked warnings that community cohesion could be undermined.
In a speech at the East London Muslim Centre in east London, Lord Phillips said it was "not very radical" for Dr Williams to argue that Sharia law can be used to help govern issues like family disputes and the sale of financial products.
Lord Phillips said: "It is possible in this country for those who are entering into a contractual agreement to agree that the agreement shall be governed by law other than English law."
Therefore, he said, he could see no reason why Sharia law should not be used to settle disputes in this country.
He said: "There is no reason why principles of Sharia law, or any other religious code, should not be the basis for mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution."

The following is adapted from Dr. Peter Hammonds 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. Heres 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 theres 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, thats 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.
Nothing in what the guy is saying suggests that you can write a contract that legalizes something otherwise prohibited.
If you want to write a will, for example, that follows Sharia law and gives the boys everything and gives nothing to the girls unless they marry their buddy's third uncle, then go right ahead.
If you want to cut your brother's hand off because he looked at your wife funny...no.
So the only time the courts will step in is when the next Mullah wannabe beheads his sister for an "honor killing".
Too damned much inbreeding in Golly Ole England.
Wait a second here. Under Sharia law, that sort of thing is allowed :-)
he’s out of his cotton pickin’ mind
Men would get the upper hand in most disputes and we could put the broads back in their places.....in the kitchen where they belong.
Kudo to the Brits!
The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips has said for all to hear that he thinks women should be a mans personal property. Hip, hip, hooray for Lord Phillips! /sarcasm!
As the father of two wonderful daughters, I hope you ladies will send this announcement far and wide to all your friends.
Thanks a lot guys, now I have to dig this CD out and play it. Otherwise this song will be in my head all night.
:-)
“Ain’t no drag...Papa’s got a brand new bag!”
(And Mama’s wearing it.)
This is a policy of abject national surrender of British sovereignty.
What Hitler could not do with the Luftwaffe, the Brits will do to themselves.

THIS LAST STATEMENT BEARS REPEATING..... REMEMBER IT.

Thank you for the ping. My family is full of little girls, and I find this to be unbelievable!
“Baroness Warsi, the Conservative shadow minister for community cohesion,”
I am sorry my British cousins but the above ^^^^^^^^^ sounds like something out of a science fiction movie 0_o
Wow...
It’s a foot in the door. Sharia is not just some special rules for contracts. It isn’t even just a legal system. It’s a legal and political system that dictates how all of society must be ordered. Those who want Sharia inevitably will demand it to be applied to other areas than just finance or contract laws.
I heard the conservative shadow Minister of Defense talking to Dennis Prager the other day. His reaction was (to paraphrase), “It’s nonsense. There has to be one law in Britain, British law. If people come to Britain they agree to live by British law. If not they should leave.”
Sigh....Regretfully true.
Such as what? Fathers and brothers being required to kill daughters/sisters who are in the company of males without supervision? Husbands divorcing wives by saying "I divorce thee" three times?" Women completely subservient to men? Forced to wear burkas? Exactly what kind of "family disputes" is he talking about?
