London (AFP) – For more than 30 years, sharia courts enforcing Islamic law have been operating quietly across Britain. But two official inquiries have put them in the spotlight amid accusations that they discriminate against women.
Very little is known about them, even their number, which one study by the University of Reading puts at 30, while the British think tank Civitas estimates there are 85.
Sharia courts or councils, as they prefer to be called, mainly pronounce on Islamic divorces, which today constitute 90 percent of the cases they handle.
They range from groups of Muslim scholars attached to a mosque, to informal organisations or even a single imam.
But while they are aimed at helping resolve family and sometimes commercial conflicts within the Muslim community, some stand accused of undermining women’s rights. MORE HERE
“…accusations that they discriminate against women.”
You’re sh!tting me? Really?
Nice sighn the have.
But I dont think there is anything called “Just” in Islam.
“There is a certain kind of hesitancy from British institutions to interfere in what they consider is internal affair to the Muslim community.”
Translation: the cancer is advanced and we are not sure we can cut it out without killing the host.
Woman’s groups that purport to fight for woman’s rights ought to be ashamed of themselves for not fighting tooth and nail against Sharia Courts. There are countless women refugees that come to the west thinking that western law will protect them from this dark age oppression only to be betrayed by liberals who allow this plague to continue and flourish. Here in Ontario, Canada the only thing the ex Premier of the province, Dalton McGuinty did during his years in office that was worthwhile and noble was to ensure that Sharia would not gain a foothold in the family/diversion courts. Of course the rest of his time he destroyed this province with shady financial dealings, bad projects, political payoffs with taxpayer money etc etc etc.
if they wanted sharia rule of law why didn’t they stay in the desert back home where it was already being practiced.
pussies let these sand niggers migrate and get away with this crap. real gentlemen protect their women folk, not let third world delinquents run amuck terrorizing them.
they are not migrants they are invaders.
