Take a breath and please take a few moments to read below with an open mind...

Shariah courts were set up by the authorities in the UK for parties who both want to settle their differences under Islamic law rather than UK law, which is essentially Roman law with different attitudes to marriage, divorce, will & probate etc

Shariah courts don't deal with crime, fraud etc; they're essentially an Islamic alternative to our UK Family courts.

These courts are definitely not about people imposing their value systems on alcohol, dress etc on other people and somehow, accidentally or not, these thugs have been labelled as imposing the wishes are are representatives of Shariah courts... which they definitely are not!

If people here really believe in freedom of speech, then they should allow parties who want to settle their differences under Shariah law to do so.

Thank you for reading!
you mean family courts where women are treated like cattle and get stripped of all rights they would have under normal law?

and to be honest: i expect people to live under the laws of the country they live in.
