Outlaw Sharia Courts in the UK.
Support Shipley MP Philip Davies in every way in this issue. Their is no place in the UK for Sharia Law and Sharia Courts. We in the UK will get our control of law back from the EU and will live under UK Law only. Sharia Law is incompatible with UK law.
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:
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, then national law prevails. This is no different to any other council or tribunal - whether or not based on Sharia principles.
We're therefore no sure what action you would like the Government to take, since Sharia councils already operate under British law in the UK.
