Re: Sharia Laws In UK
the whole thing has totally been blown out of proportion. Many people are ignnorant and frankly silly and really haevnt actually read wht the archbishop actually said. they have just gone by the media hysteria which claims that he said that a parallel sharia legal system sud b set up 4 muslims INSTEAD of the current system. He did not say this at all.
As far as the ord shariah is concerned mojority people view it to be an inhumane system since they r only going to go by the examples put forth to them by places such as sudan and afghanistan. These as every1 will agree are not the best countries to use as an example as far as shariah is concerned.
As far as jewish courts are concerned, again most people are so unaware of the fact that these exist. Mainly because the jewish community in teh UK is relatively small and also because their community is great at deflecting attention away 4rm themselves and are very clever at gettin all teh provisions put in place for their faith, without making a noise about it
Many people in the Uk are not religious at all and dont believ in God, any suggestion of bringing in anything to do with religion especialy ISLAM into the judicial system is inevitably going to trigger an outcry.
The archbishop is well known for being a very intellectual man, I either think he was naive to say something like this and not realizing that he shud have been such a public outcry to his comments, however many people have said that he mentioned this, because he feels the importnace of faith and religion in british society is eroding away and wants to ensure that religion remians an important issue and therfore wanted to grab headlines.
Mentioning anything to do with the christian faith never grabs any headlines, mentioning islam does , so if that was his aim he has succeded in doing so
