Prevent islamic law from being integrated into our legal system
On the 23rd March 2014, the Daily Telegraph published the following article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/10716844/Islamic-law-is-adopted-by-British-legal-chiefs.html
Putting religious beliefs in the way of gender equality is in no way acceptable. In a response to a previous petition to ban all sharia law, a government spokesperson responded:
This Government will challenge behaviours and views which run counter to our shared values. Promoting fairness in society is one of the Coalition Government's core commitments. This is everyone's responsibility; it is only together we are able to develop a stronger and more cohesive society.
If these legal principles were to be integrated into the British legal system, then it would no doubt be a massive step backwards in the fight for gender equality in the UK.
All I ask is that we as a country do not allow such misogynistic legal principles to be integrated into legislation.
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's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
