Oh no! Britain's infected with a cruel law! GRAB THE SHOTGUNS, MAN THE AIRPLANES. We're going to war, people...
That's an illuminating intellectual and logical response. I can really see how you backed up your well-reasoned and detailed explanation of your conclusions with evidence and an open mind.bagodix said:Not really.Agema said:Most Muslims in the UK are peaceful, friendly people who respect the UK's laws.

There're loads more but I'm just so rarghh about this thread that I lost track.
I actually think it's disgusting that people from different countries come over here and then treat it like it's their own country.. White people get called racist, but when it's the other way round, the coloured people aren't racist the white people still are! And then we're the ones that get punished for it. The government is so scared of being called racist imo that it'll do anything in it's power to stop them all getting offended.
There's an amusing exercise when a person accuses you of being racist for a purely objective comment...
Lets say you say something casual that somebody has been deemed as racist (like on scrubs when JD calls Turk 'Brown Bear' etc), ask them why exactly it is racist, and try to get them to say something on the lines of 'because he's black'...or whatever. Then simply point out that THEY are the racists because they are judging both you and the other person primarily on race.
If you do it right, their face is priceless.

Why should there laws legally Binding? I mean what the heck?.
If say, tons of english people, went to a country full of islams, And asked for there laws to legally binding, The islams would say no. So why the hell are giving them the right to there laws in OUR country. Its not right IMO
...aaaaaaaaaaaand then you went and spoiled it all, by saying something stupid like a raaacist...bagodix said:Sharia does not deserve even the tiniest amount of legitimacy, and the same could really be said about Islam itself.
The process of collecting evidence and then making a decision without bias is intellectual competence, not "wishy-washy emotional nonsense". At any rate, you are evidently a troll with nothing useful to say.bagodix said:"You just gotta have an open mind" is wishy-washy feel-good emotional nonsense that doesn't mean anything.Agema said:That's an illuminating intellectual and logical response.

And thus I find myself an island of intelligence in a sea of ignorance. Agema gets himself (or herself) a cuddly toy (or barbie doll) of his (or her) choosing.Agema said:Let's be quite clear: there is no Shariah law in the UK.
What there is, is room in the existing national law for an arbitration process, where a third party mediates the dispute. Arbitration can only occur in a limited number of occasions - it's applicable only for some civil disputes. All parties must freely agree to the process.
If two people freely choose an arbitration by an third party mediator who uses Shariah law as a yardstick, I don't see what the problem is. Fairly obviously, anyone who faces severe disadvantage (for instance Shariah divorces which heavily favour the men) can simply refuse arbitration and take the case to the courts.

Well, Jewish law is allowed in such cases as well, I believe - its not criminal law, its civil law, and even then, it has to be both parties agreeing to it.Albert_Wesker657 said:WHY WHY WHY?

That may occur and is a problem. However, there's no reason Christian, Sikh, Hindu, atheist and Jewish husbands can't beat their wives into accepting certain arbitrations.Doug said:Well, Jewish law is allowed in such cases as well, I believe - its not criminal law, its civil law, and even then, it has to be both parties agreeing to it.Albert_Wesker657 said:WHY WHY WHY?

That said, I think its all too easy for the more isolated individuals (i.e. beaten wives) to be pushed into allowing Sharia. Especially in the cases of first generation immigrants.

Not really stupid, no. The word is most commonly applied to Australian aborigines, but it can be applied to any race who were the first identifiable inhabitants of any land.SnowCold said:I'm probblly gonna make myself look like an idiot, but aren't aboriginals native Austarilians?Imitation Saccharin said:Now would that be French Canadian or English Canadian?
