The Muslim Arbitration Tribunal (MAT) and an estimated 85 "Sharia courts" have been condemned in a report for think-tank Civitas for issuing rulings which are contrary to "UK legal norms and human rights legislation."
In a report on Sharia law, Denis MacEoin, former lecturer in Arabic and Islamic studies at Newcastle University, said: “The fact that so many Sharia rulings in Britain relate to cases concerning divorce and custody of children is of particular concern, as women are not equal in Sharia law and Sharia contains no specific commitment to the best interests of the child that is fundamental to family law in the UK.”
David Green, director of Civitas, said Sharia courts, including the MAT, should be excluded from recognition under the Arbitration Act 1996.
“The reality is that for many Muslims, Sharia courts are in practice part of an institutionalised atmosphere of intimidation, backed by the ultimate sanction of a death threat,” Green said, in an introduction to the book.
“The underlying problem is that Sharia law reflects male-dominated Asian and Arabic cultures. It cannot therefore be accepted as a legally valid basis even for settling private disagreements in a country like ours, where our law embodies the equal legal status of everyone, regardless of race, gender or religion.
Our system is based on moral and legal equality or it is nothing.”

It would seem that we are preparing for the Big Transfer - the transfer of our nation to and beneath a new authority or several new authorities. It now makes a great deal of sense why foreign troops have been cross-training with our new paramilitary systems, and yes, there are foreign troops on American soil, which I fear may not be American soil at all. Equally, multiculturalism suddenly makes a great deal of sense. I believe we can call it “behavior modification” so that we the stupid people will behave and be obedient under the new rules of new and foreign leaders.
I ask you, has our nation been sold out from under us, and without our knowledge? Could there be any other possible explanation for selling the most critical components of our country, while at the same time creating new, multicultural and cross-trained armies; permanently bankrupting the nation and selling its debt to foreign countries, and having Martial Law orders written specifically to protect the sold “assets” of our nation--including our schools and homes? Are America’s new owners to be protected by new Martial Law armies, cross-trained with foreign armies, while our “traditional” military is spread all over the planet - except here with its nation’s people? Are we being transferred to new ownership as we speak?
UK report finally condemns shari'a courts? FFS - eliminate them already! What the hell are you waiting for? There is a time and a place for diplomacy - this is not one of them. Shari'a is seditious. Eliminate it NOW!
The UK waited until it was ALMOST too late in WWII.
Then they, with our help, beat the shit out of Hitler and his forces.
I still believe we will win because good thinks and acts more coherently than evil.
Muslims kill each other when they can't kill us. This is because their ideology is evil. It does not think clearly.
When we don't have people to kill (i.e. a war to fight) we just have a good time. That's because our ideology is basically good.
It takes us a long time to come around to the idea that it is time to fight because we have a hard time believing in evil, because we do not have much of it in our lives, because, once again, our ideology is basically good.
But, when we do fight, we are coherent, we think clearly, etc.
We will win. Don't worry.
Besides, we are fighting against a group of people who come almost directly out of the seventh century.
The only weapons they have other than clubs and rocks ARE THE ONES WE GIVE THEM.
I would add the following to the above statement . . .
"The only weapons they have other than clubs and rocks ARE THE ONES WE GIVE THEM."
change to
"The only weapons they have other than clubs and rocks ARE THE ONES WE GIVE THEM - or those weapons/components of weapons our enemies or jealous allies sell them.
Yes, that's a good point.
