Sharia law should be introduced into legal system, says leading barrister

Stephen Hockman QC, a former chairman of the Bar Council, reportedly suggested that a group of MPs and legal figures should be convened to plan how elements of the Muslim religious-legal code could be introduced.

After speaking at an event organised by the website Islam4UK at the National Liberal Club, Whitehall, Mr Hockman reportedly told The Daily Express: “Given our substantial Muslim population, it is vital that we look at ways to integrate Muslim culture into our traditions. Otherwise we will find that there is a significant section of our society which is increasingly alienated, with very dangerous results.

“There should perhaps be a standing committee comprising Parliamentarians, lawyers and religious leaders to consider how this could be achieved and what legal changes might be framed.”

Sharia law has been criticised for its prevention of some rights for women. Mr Hockman reportedly conceded: “The position of women is one area where the emphasis is, to the say the least, rather different.”

He reportedly added that the incorporation of Sharia could improve relations between faith groups and boost the country’s security.

The British Empire continues to fall. Next thing you know, Obama will want the same thing here.

If they like it so much, send their arses back!

The reason anyone migrates to another country is that their native country has failed them in one or more areas. Do NOT bring your culture into your new country except for nostalgia.

What amazes me is that these numbskulls don’t understand that Sharia isn’t just for the Muslims; it will be used against ALL of British society at some point in the near future. Islam doesn’t allow for a pluralistic society.

Barristers are strange anyway. I know a few and have told them this to my face. We don’t have barristers, get that crap out of here

hate to point it out to him, but its his culture that is being integrated into theirs. How does submitting your way of life to an outside influence, “integrate”?. I suppose it makes him feel superior, benevolent, and able to sleep at night. typical liberal mental disorder

You're right. Islam requires conversion or dhimmitude. There is no peaceful coexistence with those vermin unless they are in charge and you pay the jizya and accept your third-class status in society.

Recommended reading is this book: "Caliphate" by Tom Kratman http://www.amazon.com/Caliphate-Tom-Kratman/dp/1416555455/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227723156&sr=8-1

Put Britain on suicide watch. Dr. Kevorkian must be salivating at the idea of assisting the British in their own demise.

Well if they really want to go down that path,... before they worry about Sharia that maybe they should worry about all the Scottish and French Catholics who were alienated when Bonnie Prince Charlie was forced to leave. I mean how fair was that to that subset of the population? Forget Sharia we need Culloden reparations and the throne restored first, etc.

So, the answer is to bend over and try to enjoy it? Savage was right. England is gone! And we’re on our way.

Too bad, you've already got that. Submit, deport, or fight, there is no other option.

Yes. Kick that hemophiliac homosexual Hanoverian rabble out, and put H.M. King Francis II back on his throne!

The bitter irony is, once Shari’a is implemented, most of what the Left holds dear will be abolished.

Why is it that they are so quick to embrace religious fundamentalism from abroad, but abhor even a trace of domestic religious ethics having influence?
