I don`t remember the Muslims` in Britain flooding into the streets and making a riot to have the sharia laws in there.
No I have not noticed riots, just the odd bombing or two.
Libra, your reply to Tam´s statement seems to be inferring that the bombs were some kind of method to force the introduction of sharia law in the UK. I never read about that at the time. If your remark was some kind of "tongue in cheek remark" then I don´t think it was in good taste.
I´m not sure I admire this terminology. There are very many muslims living in this country who have British passports. Many from Commonwealth countries were invited to the UK generations ago. Remember how these countries became part of our Commonwealth.
so do not welcome other religions forcing their laws or beliefes on people who don´t want them.
As far as I´m aware, non Muslims will not be subjected to these laws. As the Beth Din is there for the Jewish community, so Sharia will be there for the Muslim community, should they wish to take advantage of that facility. I don´t think it will be compulsory for Muslims to use Sharia.
If they want to use this as a method of arbitration between themselves, which I suspect already goes on, then fine, but it should no way enter into our legal system.
I haven´t had time to research further , but it´s my understanding that whatever decisions are made have to be ratified by our country´s legal system.
I can´t see that if we went to Pakistan for instance, that we would be able to introduce our divorce laws so why should they introduce their laws here in the UK?
You are assuming all Muslims are not British citizens. I should imagine if you became a citizen of another country you would have some say in what goes on there. That said, I don´t think the "hypothetical" scenario you mention is a good argument.
