I see that former Reform MP Rupert Lowe has publicly demanded the closure of all Sharia courts in the UK, arguing that they undermine British law and cultural cohesion.
Sharia Law has no place in America or anywhere else for that matter. It is imperative that it be banned at the Federal, state and local levels. Period.
It's been going on for decades along with polygamy, under-age marriage, FGM etc.. while the authorities turn a blind eye for fear of being accused of racism, they're a law unto themselves with no intention to integrate but to dominate, 20 more years of this and we will be an Islamic state.
Sharia courts carry no weight in Britain. I’m sure the teacher from Batley and Spen — who probably has to relocate elsewhere in the country with a new identity — agrees completely. What’s worse than the Sharia Courts is the defacto Sharia law being imposed on the population: we’ve seen how scared the police are of them and I can’t think of one example where the Muslim population have taken a step forward and the British government hasn’t taken a step back.
If the decisions are non-binding according to the official law of the land, I don’t see a problem. Don’t know about Great Britain but in Canada, Roman Catholics, Orthodox Jews and other religious communities have courts and tribunals to help and advise members according to their beliefs. These decisions cannot be legally enforced, but are meant to provide guidance and advice.
OK, should we also ban courts set up by the Catholic Church, Chasidic Jews, Evangelical Christians and other religious communities to advise their members. Like I said Sharia courts don’t reflect an attempt to impose Islamic law on the rest of society, but like these other courts are set up to give guidance and advice to members of their community and are not a threat to the larger society.
If they have no power then you must agree they can be abolished, yes? Muslims think they do have authority as they insist on using them. My argument is that we cannot have parallel legal systems.
This is ridiculous. The Muslim community is entitled to create its own advice centre and that is a fairer description than to call these organisations 'courts'.
That is an interesting clip but in the UK a 14 year old girl cannot be married, so this practice must be illegal. The role of the Imam is advisory, not compulsory.
You are right! So that means these councils break the law. Under Islamic jurisprudence the role of the imam is essential! FGM is also illegal but practised and condoned by the Islamic community!
FGM is not practised and condoned by the Islamic community. It is a practice carried out by a very small minority of Muslims. You do tend to generalise too much David! Stop pressing the panic button, please. You are race-baiting and rage-baiting! Why? Wouldn't it be better to communicate with Muslims instead of hating them?
The problem is that you let a bunch foreigners into your country and now they’re ruining it. Ask yourself why it’s one group of Jewish people pushing them out of the Middle East and another group of Jewish people in Europe insisting that they all be let it. Europe is between the horns of Jewish treachery.
That's some party trick Frances, simultaneously talking out of your arse and both sides of your mouth.
Advice centre my arse. Not only does Sharia law belong in the 3rd world dust bowls where these primitive creatures originate, but you know full well that the people who are adversely judged by it are shunned from their community.
In England, where I live, a community advice centre that coerces people into conforming by threat of exile is unconstitutional and explicitly unlawful.
Muslims do not belong in a Christian, civilised society.
No, it is no rage-baiting. It is quoting from a national newspaper article and is an eminently valid subject for discussion. It is wrong to mislabel it in order to disparage. This is not the behaviour the Substack community endorses, as Freedom of expression and ideas are what this platform is all about.
Yes, you do have freedom of expression but you appear to object to other people’s. No need to get aggressive with the “Sue me!” taunt either. You keep putting your foot in your own trap.
I am in favor of some form of Shariah law, but not in England. I don't know why you even let all those Muslims in (well, the Jews and Boomer Tories did). Some of the Western educated Muslims on here (I spent most of my life in France) get mad at me when I say the English/French/Germans should deport all the migrants and visa workers.
Yes they should never have been allowed this government doesn’t understand the first thing about Islam if they did they would all be removed from this country
Ban all Muslims and their Sharia Law, close your borders, send them back to where they came from, you think Covid was bad, Muslims Measles are even worse , there is no cure for it, they spread like parasitic cancer eating away at humanity, they are just pure occult evil.
Sharia Law has no place in America or anywhere else for that matter. It is imperative that it be banned at the Federal, state and local levels. Period.
Ban the Jewish courts, too, then...
I am not aware of Jewish courts in the US. Do you mean Jewish members among other jurists of different courts?
It's been going on for decades along with polygamy, under-age marriage, FGM etc.. while the authorities turn a blind eye for fear of being accused of racism, they're a law unto themselves with no intention to integrate but to dominate, 20 more years of this and we will be an Islamic state.
Over their dead body!

Unbelievable that in Britain there is another law that is applied to it citizens
Who voted for this and when did that happen?
Also get rid EU legislation, ECJ, ECHR
Look forward to living under only British Law
Can we ban all the Jewish courts too? Or are you a hypocrite?!

Are you a sociopath or just an imbecile! Nvm, we do not need an answer it's a rhetorical question.
Sick racist

They are not courts or carry any legal weight.

France’s. I enjoy your work but you are wrong on this and I am right. Exhibit A. https://x.com/foreverscept/status/1927649660035912103?s=46&t=ETJ39UEs5A5seeV-iPvhPw

Gosh, how naive.
Yes, you are.
No. The Muslim community is not entitled to be there at all. Nobody who isn't a white English person is.
The problem is that you let a bunch foreigners into your country and now they’re ruining it. Ask yourself why it’s one group of Jewish people pushing them out of the Middle East and another group of Jewish people in Europe insisting that they all be let it.

I’m no fan of Islam but let’s be real, they’re not the “enemies of all mankind” that 1 Thessalonians 2:15 was warning us about
Not all mankind. Just every non- Muslim. You cannot be that naive.
Okay so we have two enemies, one of which has a big head start and the other one is on the other side of an ocean

I have 'freedom of expression' too and I am pointing out that this post is misleading. So sue me!
Yes, you do have freedom of expression but you appear to object to other people’s. No need to get aggressive with the “Sue me!” taunt either. You keep putting your foot in your own trap.
Aggressive? Don’t make me laugh.
Not just that but ban islam outright through all of england. Dismantle mosques and deport all muslims. They have no place in the west
Immediately!!!!
Outlaw any form of law other than our constitutional law on this land !!!!
Live in our land, live by our rules…………..
I am in favor of some form of Shariah law, but not in England. I don't know why you even let all those Muslims in (well, the Jews and Boomer Tories did). Some of the Western educated Muslims on here (I spent most of my life in France) get mad at me when I say the English/French/Germans should deport all the migrants and visa workers.
So what do you have to say about indigenous white people who are Muslims by choice? Where do stand?
Yes they should never have been allowed this government doesn’t understand the first thing about Islam if they did they would all be removed from this country
And ban all those who are campaigning for them 🤬
Ban all Jewish Noahide law cyborg Scum too**
How about deport any foreigners wishing to be citizens that will not fully assimilate to America🤷♂️
Ban all Muslims and their Sharia Law, close your borders, send them back to where they came from, you think Covid was bad, Muslims Measles are even worse , there is no cure for it, they spread like parasitic cancer eating away at humanity, they are just pure occult evil.
Spoken like a true racist bigot!
