Labour has brought in Sharia - without asking or telling anyone

It appears, in an act of betrayal that is staggering even for the traitors who signed the Lisbon Treaty, Labour have allowed a parallel Shari legal system to operate in the UK with the force of law.

The Sunday Telegraph ( Richard Edwards) reports:

Five sharia courts have been set up in London, Birmingham, Bradford and Manchester and Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The government has quietly sanctioned that their rulings are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court. Previously, the rulings were not binding and depended on voluntary compliance among Muslims.

Many people seem to have a soft spot for Hazel Blears and co - but this sort of straight betrayal of their country is unforgivable.

Just because they fear they won't be able to get 100k jobs (when John Lewis lists etc added in ) and gold -plated pensions when their P45's come through in 2010 is no excuse for destroying your country. (Which is what this does).

See also Christopher Howse - who suggests judgements have even gone into criminal matters.

Sharia for some muslims will mean sharia for all muslims

The liberal establishment is out again, trying to be all understanding about Sharia law. Today's contribution is from Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, the Lord Chief Justice.

He makes a number of key mistakes:

1) Sharia courts already operate in the UK.
2) He ignores the impact of coercion. As has been reported else where many Muslim communities create the ability for people to live lives in a parallel Muslim world ( indeed this has been the stated aim of a number of Islamic radicals ). What choice will say a young woman really have of taking an issue up with the English courts (as should be her right as a freeborn Englishwoman ), when people like the Lord Chief Justice have condemned 'muslims' to use another legal code ? There will be unbearable social pressure, and worse in a country where honour killings go on ( who knows how many - as the police are too scared to push the issue ).
3) It is in effect setting up an official state within a state.

Point 2 is close to racism, as its saying we will condemn Muslims who wanted to live under English law to the theocracy of their local community. Point 3 almost guarantees further bloodshed.

What are these people, such as Lord Phillips, thinking ? Or perhaps what is it they really want ?

I think its time to start questioning the motives of the multicuturalists. When know their system doesn't work, and we must assume so do they. So what are they trying to bring about ?

Sharia in action in the UK

Update:

A let us not forget what Sharia does overseas - see the experience of Sandy Mitchell here.

The Archbishop of Canterbury recommends the phased destruction of the English state

I thought I could keep of blogging till 5pm but then the Archdruid Archbishop of Canterbury has opened his mouth to support Sharia law in England. (Radio 4 this lunch time on the World at One). (Just what does Rowan Williams actually believe in ? )

Lets be clear this will in effect create two states with two systems of law occupying the same land. That is not a recipe for healing communal strife - its the recipe for civil war.

We need to be a common people who are ruled, protected and equal under a common law regardless of race or creed. Those who don't like our laws should enter politics to change them by consent or leave.

This system of setting up parallel courts was the precursor to Irish partition and the decades of war that followed.

update:

Other early blogger reaction is coming in below:

The Archbishop of Canterbury loses his marbles - Tony Sharp at the Waendal Journal
Sharia law in UK ‘inevitable’ - Archbishop of Canterbury - Alex Evans (including a quote of this post)
Even the devil has a comment over at the Devils Kitchen "A memo to the Archbishop of Canterbury" - Martin Kelly.
Iain Dale "Who will rid us of this idiotic priest ?"

I get the feeling the Rowan Williams post bag is going to be rather full over the next few days ...

Update:

Get your insight into the future world the Archbishop of Canterbury wishes for us as it appears today in Saudi Arabia ( a country that will not tolerate Christian belief ).

Damien Thomson ( a Catholic) suggest the Church of england should sack Dr Williams. I agree.

If you want to let the archbishop know what you think of his idea his web site is here. I've left my comment there.

A good point from Douglas Murray here asking how the Archbishops comments are being reported in the Muslim world and how it may encourage more terrorism.
