SHARIA LAW IN BRITAIN ?

Scales of Justice

A Law in Action programme on BBC Radio 4 has uncovered evidence that Muslims are using their own laws in Britain and the police are knowingly giving in to them !

It alleged unofficial criminal courts were deaing out their own justice.

In the programme, Aydarus Yusuf, a 29 year old youth worker, told how he took part in an unofficial Somali "court" sitting in Woolwich, South-East London.

A group of youths were arrested on suspicion of stabbing another Somali teenager but when the victim's family told police the matter would be settled out of court the suspects were freed on bail.

The "trial" was conducted by community elders who ordered the attackers to pay compensation to the victim.

Mr Yusuf said: "The accused men admitted their guilt and apologised. All their uncles and fathers were there. They agreed compensation."

He insisted he is more bound by the law of his country of birth than British justice, adding: "Somalis, wherever we live in the world, have our own law."

Dr Patrick Sookhdeo of the Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity said:

"Muslim communities are creating their own infrastructure based on sharia law. A Muslim community can now function within its own society on every level."

But in fact, it can't !

Imagine a situation where a Somali stabbed a British citizen instead of another Somali then insisted that he be tried by his own laws and not British law !

How long will it be before such a scenario becomes fact ?

As the Radio 4 report demonstrates - not very long !

Do you want to live under British law - or Sharia law ?
