EXCERPT:
Peers in the House of Lords have warned that the Government is “disturbingly complacent” about the operation of Islamic Sharia law in the UK.
They were not convinced by the Government’s assurance that application of Sharia law by the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal remains subject to English law.
Five Islamic courts are thought to be operating in Britain under the 1996 Arbitration Act. They are permitted to rule on business, financial and family disputes.
Their decisions are rubber stamped by British courts.
Orthodox Jewish Beth Din courts also operate this way, but lawyers and civil rights campaigners have always been sceptical of the status of women in Sharia disputes.
Last year Dr David Green, the Director of the Civitas think tank, said: “I think there are a number of problems with regards to Sharia law.
“These Sharia councils are supposed to operate under the Arbitration Act which allows citizens in a free society to settle their disputes on a voluntary basis if they so wish.
“But that legislation assumes that both parts are regarded as being equal. I think the problem is with tribunals like these you can’t always be sure that women would be treated equally.”
SHARIA IS COMING TO BRITAIN UNLESS THE BRITISH TAKE A MUCH TOUGHER STANCE ON IMIGRATION, ASSIMILATION, AND UNLESS BRITS START HAVING BABIES AND GOING TO CHURCH.

And with a SCOTUS leaning left with Sotomayor, Sharia law will also be coming to portions of Detroit and other Muslim communities. So residents that have other beleifs will either be forced out, or will be subject to a law other than the law of the land.
Thanks for the nice thought, EK. Good thing there's a Lakers game on tonight. Maybe that will help me forget what you wrote.
