Ban Sharia Law & Councils from practising in the U.K.
For 400yrs there has only been UK Legislation allowed to to be practised in the UK for all Citizens to be treated equally and fairly under the Law.
Sharia Law and councils are openly operating in the UK creating a 2 Tier Legal System

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
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.
