Declare sharia in the UK illegal
sharia is the glue that binds islam. It is a 7th C code of conduct that reaches into every part of a muslim's life. It is barbaric in the punishments it prescribes and, inter alia, reduces women to chattels and punishes apostasy with death. sharia seeks to impose itself on all other legal systems.
The primary source of islamic holy law (sharia) is the 'Reliance of the Traveller': ISBN-13: 978-0915957729. This book is revered by muslim scholars.
Background:
The Koran (trans Pickthal): ISBN-13: 978-1879402515
Suri (I. Ishaq, author, A. Guillaume trans): ISBN-13: 978-0196360331
Ahadith (Sahih al-Bukhari): ISBN-13: 978-1605066776

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
In a response to a previous petition, the Government said:
There are a number of Sharia councils in England and Wales which help Muslim communities resolve civil and family disputes, by making recommendations, which they hope the parties will abide by. They are not part of the court system in this country and have no means of enforcing their decisions. If any of the decisions or recommendations they make are contrary to national law (including the Equality Act 2010) then national law prevails. This is no different to any other council or tribunal - whether or not based on Sharia principles.
You can read the full response here:

It is therefore not clear what action you would like the Government to take, since Sharia councils already operate under British law in the UK and would not therefore be able to enforce decisions which were in conflict with that law - for example, they would not be able to impose the death penalty.
