do muslim people believe that sharia law in the uk is a viable option or should people who come to live in this land adopt the laws of the land they have chosen to live in, when they could have lived in a land that already has sharia law?

I heard this from radio this evening too.
Most Muslim country don't have this, so i just get why should it come to a country that is dominating by other religions like a christianity?.
But some how is a good sign when a christian preacher comment openly in about a hot topic like this. |

First of all your question will not get a right answer. Because most people go to england not necessarily for 'the law'. Most migration is economic/wealth related.
There are people who belive in sharia in the UK as a viabable option while they could have lived in a land that already has sheria but they just don't go because of economic reason not because of the laws of the land.
I think in a true secular system, government should offer religious law as an option in only family law, only if both men and women agrees.

diaspora! Too many Chiefs and Very Few Indians.
Halifa Salah: PDOIS is however realistic. It is fully aware that the Gambian voters are yet to reach a level of political consciousness that they rely on to vote on the basis of Principles, policies and programmes and practices. |

| sharia law will not work in UK, because it is not recognised. but it is good if people go to Sharia for the basic discussion process, an intermeiate decision based on the relgious merits of their situation. Once they have a made decision there then they can go to legal system. They will at least have spiritual guidance and will save time and money before going to UK law. |

Jambo too early to reach a conclusion.infact british law already recognises some aspects of Sharia Law liek Islamic Banking which is offered as a product by some UK financial institutions.
Well the 'law' in most countries has different components. the UK is a classic example with laws going back 500 yrs plus from a different era etc.
here in The Gambia our law has different components from customary law (e.g landownership), common law (british heritage), and parts of Sharia (marriage,inheritance, islamic banking) and it works very well. everyone is accomodated and the EVIDENCE is that we have managed to lived in peace and tolerate each other.
if this is what the Arch. Bishop is aiming for, he and others in the debate can come to The Gambia and learn from our experience.
it's an open invitation |

the arch bishop with few words expose the british establishment's aparant racism and islamaphobia wide open to the world. all the slogans on assimilation and integration is all false. the man is an intellectual and well educated person. his words should be analyse with care before the mp's, the media,opinion makers, lay people all laid into him wihout actually scrutinising his words.
the catholic head in britain even express shock and sadness at people's reactions. the media delibarately mislead people on what the arch bishop said. so much for tolerance. no one wants to over-ride the british laws. in matters of cultural issues,were people are more comfortable with their system of marriage arrangements ,devorces ,inheriatances etc,some feel that their faith ruling shoud take precidentce. that is what the arch bishop was refering to.but ooh no. the bbc have to go all the way bring pictures from other countries were the whole sharia is practice.there reporter was even insulting islam point blank ,without any curtesy. this is interesting. many countries in world were pilage and there laws and norms castigated by the west during colonialism.people exciled for standing by their norms. from amadou bamba, almamy samouri, maba etc. no muslim want to change the almighty british legal system. it is ok as it is.but to take account of other people's cultures is not bad for harmony. racism comes in many forms. now they will start to ask ,why didn't you stay in your own country? as if westerners are not living and working in other people's country's. the experts living in oil rich countries and mineral rich nations are contributing immensely to economy of the west. a withholding of those product,some industies will stand still .yet this westerners do as they like in those countries.were some of them go against the laws of those lands. the embassies start interfaring. the homes news papers start villifying the laws of those countries. for what? no muslims want to change the british legal system for god sake. |

| maveric, it will not affect you in any way or form.just like many laws that you are pretty show will never affect you. will you ever commit murder? will you drink and drive? will you rape any one? so having a law is not the end it inself. it is just a mean to an end. don't be paranoid. |

In any case laws are laid to sleep until someone hits on them. Anyone is able to stay with the most hostile laws and nothing happens until the day one provokes the laws. |
