The issue is how they define “criminals”. Having a beer, ladies showing a bit of ankle and apostasy should not be punishable offences.
But they are. |  |

The Old Testament itself has its genesis in ancient Babylonian myths and the laws and commandments mentioned in it are strikingly similar to Hammurabi’s code of laws that were written well before the bible and 2000 years before Jesus was even a gleam in the milkman’s eye. | |

You don’t need to be religious. Do you think religion inspired laws or did laws inspire religion? The ancient celts were practising a form of lex talionis for millennia before the Romans and Christianity arrived. There are people now today calling for Charlie Kirk’s assassin to face a firing squad in Utah. Righteous revenge styled punishment is a very very human thing that transcends all cultures, nations and religions. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is a concept that massively predates any religion. | |

I'm not religious but I have more respect for a religion that sticks to its guns. A religion that changes to try and stay more popular is clearly nonsense.
Not that I believe in Allah mind, nor do I agree with Islam but at least it stayed genuine to its roots.
I once heard a priest say you can't take the bible literally because its been rewritten so many times which seems like a complete lack of faith to me. Surely he should believe that God was guiding the authors hand? | | | |

It hasn’t stayed genuine to its roots though. There was a time where the Islamic world was a beacon for science, advancement, art, culture, trade, learning when the rest of the world was living in a dark age. Baghdad was one of the worlds truly greatest cities all the great and good were flocking there to learn.
Wouldn’t set foot in the shothole now though. | |

A number of different religious faith have their own laws and processes which sit outside English law and they’ve been in existence for many years. There are areas where Sharia law is practised in the U.K., equally there are also areas where the Jewish population practice “Beth Din” where they use religious tribunals to resolve disputes relating to marriage and divorce, the Catholic Church also has its own Courts which handle church law particularly around the annulment of marriages. The Church of England also has its own Courts which operate within the English legal framework, but their powers were were curtailed last century.
The really important bit to note is that none of these religious courts/ tribunals etc bar the C of E have any status in UK law. Any judgment they pass is not binding upon the individuals involved and does not override rulings made by national courts - the law of the land is still top dog and that’s the way it should always be. People can take their disputes etc to the tribunal of their faith should they wish to, but nothing should ever take precedence over the law of the land. | | | |

There is a flaw with your post major... You're confusing some of them with facts as it doesn't match the hysterical pearl-clutching that they read.  |  |

MajorR is correct to say that Sharia law, as applied by nearly 100 Sharia tribunals operating across the UK, cannot prevail over or supersede UK law. Sharia tribunals have no power to impose penalties. Sharia law generally operates as a kind of private law, similar to an arbitration process that the contending parties agree to. The main areas covered are marriages, divorces and inheritance. Criminal offenses are not covered.
There is, however, an area of contention, because the Arbitration Act 1996 does give a legal basis to some Sharia Courts, as long as they are compliant with its provisions. This has led to disquiet about whether a two-tier legal system is operating for some, and in particular women who may be pressured into agreeing to a dispute settlement process that is biased against them

Broness Cox struggled over many years to get her private member's bill enacted, but it failed to get beyond a 2nd reading in 2017. Since then the Law Commission has undertaken a review of the Arbitration Act 1996, which influenced politicians to enact the Arbitration Act, 2025. However, this is largely about fine-tuning technical processes in mainstream arbitration and may not have fully met Cox's concerns.

Welsh non conformism was as intolerant as any religion
Anyone not believing as Welsh baptists were treated with contempt
All bible related
What do you think they were studying in Bible Classes and prayer meetings
Swansea had its own Bible college ffs where indoctrination was an integral part of educating children
Believe in the Lord or else
I will leave the Welsh village gossiping culture for another day when our resident racist spouts more hate | |

Some huge assumptions in that article, the primary one being that those conducting Sharia courts will revert to UK law when it comes to matters such as women's freedom and rights. These articles are often written by people who have grown up in a secular environment where tolerance and understanding prevails that's very different from a deeply religious culture where the way of the religion prevails. | |

The crusades were largely a massive failure due to the overwhelming military might of the Islamic forces in their own land and the petty squabbles between crusader states. Richard I got captured by the Holy Roman Empire on the way back and had to be ransomed for a sum that basically bankrupted England for generations only for him to promptly die to the hands of a drunken stable boy a short time after. The guy was a complete idiot, why history has been so kind to him is beyond me. | |
