Out of interest, how many Judaic courts or Church courts operating under Cannon law are there in the country?

All are arbitration methods within their religion and do not hold up in British law courts. I was merely pointing out to Ozay that Sharia courts were already in operation in the UK.

we're not going to get any change until we change our electoral system. What will happen is we will have he Tories in with less than half the people voting for them yet they will get mor3 than half the seats-just as labour do. Only a complete numpty can still argue the first past the post system is actually democratic.

Look at the population statistics of England for example. England is turning a browner colour. From mixed relationships and immigration, England wont be English in a few hundred years. But maybe thats just following the natural cycle of the place? They are already discussing the possibility of imposing Sharia law here. Time to move to Wales...or Scotland methinks.

The chance of England being governed by Sharia law anytime in this century is zero to non-existent.`

Thirty years ago the life of brian was released. What do you think the reaction would be today? would the religious lobby have their way and get it banned in case it offended someone? How about if someone made a film satirising the islamic fundamentalists. Would you laugh or would the film maker have to hide away in case somebody killed them?

I understand they rule on domestic and financial dealings and are subservient to British law.

Then answer me this one.
Why does British law turn a blind eye to forced marriage, honour killing, and kidnap?
