"Sharia will come to the UK" and so it will.

This thread of nonsense still going on? Why? This is not a story, it's not credible on any level that Sharia law will be introduced in the UK either now, in the midterm or the long term future.

Islamic Sharia Law Effectively Enshrined In UK Legal System With New Will Guidance

Huffington Post UK | Posted: 23/03/2014

Islamic law will be effectively enshrined in UK law for the first time.

Guidance on 'Sharia compliant wills' has been drawn up by The Law Society meaning high street solicitors can draft documents in line with religious principles, reports the Telegraph.

The wills will be able to deny an equal share of inheritances to women and non-Muslims and children born out of wedlock can be excluded completely.

Nicholas Fluck, president of The Law Society the measures would promote "good practice" but others have condemned the move as risking creating a parallel legal system for UK Muslims.

Baroness Cox said: "This violates everything that we stand for. It would make the Suffragettes turn in their graves.

"Everyone has freedom to make their own will and everyone has freedom to let those wills reflect their religious beliefs.

"But to have an organisation such as The Law Society seeming to promote or encourage a policy which is inherently gender discriminatory in a way which will have very serious implications for women and possibly for children is a matter of deep concern."

She pledged to raise the issue with MPs.

The guidelines were discreetly published earlier this month and distributed to lawyers in England and Wales to "assist solicitors who have been instructed to prepare a valid will, which follows Sharia succession rules" whilst remaining in the current legal framework.

It states: "The male heirs in most cases receive double the amount inherited by a female heir of the same class.

"Non-Muslims may not inherit at all, and only Muslim marriages are recognised.

"Similarly, a divorced spouse is no longer a Sharia heir, as the entitlement depends on a valid Muslim marriage existing at the date of death. This means you should amend or delete some standard will clauses."

Good enough for me.

That's the evidence? Good grief. I am pretty sure that people are allowed to make a will stating just about anything, with or without Sharia.

English law provides for certain family law issues to be guided by ecclesiastical principles. This is the case for Christianity and Judaism as well as Islam. More than a few English and Welsh Jewish women have faced significant problems relating to divorce because they agreed to have Jewish law govern. Sharia law has not been enshrined in the law of England and Wales and never will.

We had decades of terrorism from Irish scum, no muslims involved there. It was more like Christian extremists.

Just because a few muslims are a bit shouty doesn't mean the whole country is in meltdown.

1. No one believes the Irish carried out their acts due to some ecclesiastical disagreement or in obedience of divine orders.

2. Were the IRA imported into briton and did they have police protection as they recruited on the street?

I think your weakness on this matter in 2014 is its self the fertile ground from which this stuff grows.

I'm happy to let Danno think that the UK has been taken over by militant islamists.

It's not like Danno's view of the world will ever be swayed by reality.

It is interesting you used the term "taken over" when the title uses the term "will be."

words mean things.

Words do mean things, but your prophecy is not a credible one. Not sure why you want to believe it either based on such paltry evidence, but clearly you do want to.

Because Muslims are evil and Europeans are weak. Europe will fall to Islam. This is why we must establish a Christian theocracy here in America. Don't you see?

Well, yes I see what the result of such wonky thinking is, of course, it just surprises me that anyone would choose to think in this wonky way with such slim to nil evidence. Oh well.

Bro, my projections are usually more short term and nearly always right.

The reason is, I absolutely don't do what you suppose.... I base them on a few things.

historical events.

The nature of people.

Data.

All the wishful thinking is meaningless.

My p-rojection made here, is pretty -matter of fact-

that you can't even conceive it to be possible ads clarity about who is dealing in the world of "wish."

LAws in any democracy we nothing more than the reflection of those voting, why is it so hard to believe Sharia law can't or shouldn't be respected if the people want and demand it?

The only question is, will the votes be there at some point?

These are the current numbers what will it look like in 25 years?

I am tired of your nonsense today Danno. You make up your own version of the world and you expect everyone else to buy into it. Sorry, that's nuts.
