Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

I just read an article in regards to a speech given last week by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.

He said that the introduction of parts of the sharia law in Britain "seems unavoidable"since there are so many devout Muslims in Britain who refuse to recognize British law. He said that doing so would help “maintain social cohesion.” According to this article, he proposed allowing an Islamic council to take over trivial cases such as uncontested divorces for example.

So what do you guys think about all this? Should the sharia law be used “mildly” and subject to “editing” in Great Britain and perhaps even other parts of the world?

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

i think it shuld be adopted as far as marriage and family matters r regarded, but i think these are already taken into consideration by british law. I think what he said was totally taken out of context and made in2 a big deal.

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

***Yes the British Monarchy has a Long Tradition to adapt their religion to their NEEDS !

You see if Bonnie Prince Charlie the Current Prince of Wales had done that earlier................like when he Married Diana.........

Diana would still be alive and not have asked for divorce and start fooling around with a Non British Person, Charles could have Married his new wife and have Diana the Mother of his Children too.......................:biggthumb

^^ Diana ny khud talaq li thi. Or bas aik yehi islami law tum sab ko yad hy baqi ka bhi kabhi soch liya karo ky kiya kiy azimadarian hoti hain bivi bachon ki:hoonh:
PS: Shohar zina kary or bivi chup ker ky bythy koi Islamic Law nahi hy hamari society ka takheelq karda law hy.

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

During the times of the Holy Prophet :saw:, the followers of every religion were required to be judged according to their religion…If a Jew committed a wrong against a fellow Jew, the Judgement was according to Judaic law…Same with every religion under Shariah…

Now, that’s open mindedness…What do these clowns know of laws…A gay man can have a marriage with another gay but a Muslim can’t have two wives or he is imprisoned…

But it’s OK if someone lives with 5 girlfriends…HAHAHA

^ i love this post .....so true!

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

Why is marrying more than one woman the most important issue surrounding every lazy, living on welfare Muslim in UK?

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

It's not the issue...It's an issue...It's a matter of rights...Whether a millionaire or someone living on welfare...

Now, coming back to you...Would you be OK with a lazy, living on welfare guy having 5 girlfriends? Or a lazy, living on welfare gay having a gay lover?

Or does the right of a Muslim to have 4 wives a matter of shame to your pride?

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

Lazy, living on welfare guy who has 5 girlfriends is not required to provide for any of them, neither does having a gf (or 5) give him any additional welfare money. Neither does a gay guy with a gay lover. You are confusing casual relationships with legally accepted relationships that go on paper, and make one person responsible for the other.

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

newsflash: england is not a muslim country, nor does it need to abide by the laws and culture of muslims.

don’t like it? go back to saudi arabia. i bet you’re living in the west, aren’t you? i never understood the mentality of those that live in the west yet don’t put their money where their mouth is and go back to their failed muslim societies that they fled from.

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

^^ hyperactive probably moved there illegally

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

lol probably

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

Societies and civilizations weren't born from the mentality you show here...They are born of laws that govern rights and needs of individuals in a society...The Muslims are an emerging segment of the British society and hence their power and influence will grow...It's only natural...

Societies will address and tackle these issues as they come depending upon the necessity and need in two ways: They can discuss, redress and make amends or changes or maybe not...It all depends on the circumstances...

Or they can act like self righteous pricks like the white trash of N. America, the United front of UK, like the Nazis of Germany or someone like yourself who you'd like to see deported or killed should they step out of line with their minutely focused vision...

As for failings, I don't consider Muslim societies as failed...Muslim society never failed...How can it fail if there is none...However, there is a movement to revive Muslim society, but it's a work in progress and takes time...

So relax, have a glass of soda and let those with a broader spectrum of vision deal with emerging circumstances...Yours and Bush's type of thinking really holds little water in today's world, especially amongst the educated people...

there was plenty of time buddy, you're just wallowing around in self-pity, like many muslims often do. its a shame.

instead of putting your money where your mouth is, you choose to live a life of hypocrisy by living amongst the "kuffar", all the while trashing it at the same time.

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

Yeah the Prophet pbuh lived amongst the Kuffar too, spent 13 years building the Islamic state.
If anything, the Kuffar can learn something from us, possibly be guided.

Muslims dont come to the west to adopt their values, or to give up their Islam, Muslims come to change the condition these kuffar live in.

Did you miss that somewhere?

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

funny because many people in the west do not want to give up their lifestyle either so why be arrogant and shove your beliefs down other people's throats?

what makes you think many canadians and other westerners suddenly want to see illiterate mullahs governing their countries? because your precious taliban was not the cornerstone of a proper islamic state. can you show me where genocide by the taliban is considered a proper requirement to establish an islamic state?

and as for adopting values, well there are plenty of western values that muslims can adopt to better themselves. doesnt always have to be immorallity. always focusing on the bad, thats so typical.

on another note, why havent you made hijra? surely you can practice islam better in western pakistan than in canada, yet youd prefer to live in your air conditioned home than living in a mud hut in waziristan.

also, i do recall a hadith that says "hubbul wadan minal iman", meaning "love of your country is part of the faith". that's another bullseye for your anti-western pandering.

btw, try not to use the term kuffar too much. if you expect the west to understand our sensitivities, then surely you can reciprocate the same, right? or is it that you hold some ill conceived view of "islamic supremacy"?

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

Azeezam, you have a point but i dont think the intent of the bishop was to impose shariah on anyone. the idea was Only to formalise the laws already in practised by a majority of British muslims. something most of them probably dont agree with.

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?


Suppose Muslim societies welcomed non-Muslims in the same way western socieities do with Muslims and there was a huge influx of non Muslims moving to Muslim lands (I know that is a big supposition, but stick with me).

With large numbers of non Muslims now in this Muslim society, surely their power and influence will grow (it's only natural after all). Does this new power mean they would earn the right to initiate western laws? Will they be allowed to wear their cultural clothes, produce and watch their cultural tv shows, movies and music? Will church bells ring throughout the land instead of being attacked? Will the Bible be sold in book stores? Heck, never mind their own set of laws, will they finally be allowed to participate in government?

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

Supposing this wasn't hard. Israel came to mind all of a sudden.

All of what you've mentioned already happens in Muslims lands. From western laws to church bells, everything goes.

Re: Should Great Britain adopt Islamic law?

Really like Saudi Arabia and Iran? :hehe:

Sharaabi you are too much…I am just dying of laughter typing this :rotfl:
