It's not the Brits' country anymore - particularly for Muslim emigre women:
The report shows how the increasing influence of Sharia law in Britain today is undermining the fundamental principle that there must be equality for all British citizens under a single law of the land.
“I feel betrayed by Britain. I came here to get away from this and the situation is worse here than in the country I escaped from.” — Muslim woman interviewed for the report.
The report concludes by calling on the British government to launch a judge-led inquiry to “determine the extent to which discriminatory Sharia law principles are being applied within the UK.”
Rather like closing the barn door after the escaped horse has been turned into glue, isn't it?
“The government’s response will be a litmus test of the extent to which it genuinely upholds the principle of equality before the law or is so dominated by the fear of ‘giving offense’ that it will continue to allow these women to suffer in ways which would make our suffragettes turn in their graves.” — Baroness Caroline Cox.
That, I'm afraid, is a fait accompli.
The Arbitration Act of 1996 allows parties to resolve certain civil disputes according to Sharia principles in such a way that the decision can be enforced in British courts.
See?
According to the report, however, many Muslim bodies are using the Arbitration Act to support the claim that they are able to make legally binding decisions for members of the Muslim community, when in fact the law limits their role to that of being a mediator to help reach an agreement. “The mediator is not a judge or an arbitrator who imposes a decision,” the report states.
Wanna bet? And need we point out yet again that Muslims consider the entire country to be "their community"?
The report shows how Sharia courts often fuse the concepts of arbitration, in which both parties agree to submit their dispute to a mutually agreeable third party for a decision to be made, and mediation, in which the two parties voluntarily use a third party to help them reach an agreement that is acceptable to both sides.
On top of this lies the problem of “jurisdiction creep,” whereby Sharia courts are adjudicating on matters well outside the arbitration framework, such as by deciding cases relating to criminal law, including those involving domestic violence and grievous bodily harm.
Well, come on, you DID "give them a mile," after all. Did you really think they wouldn't take a parsec?
As a result, Muslim women, who may lack knowledge of both the English language and their rights under British law....
Which they literally and officially do not possess.
....are often pressured by their families to use Sharia courts. These courts often coerce them to sign an agreement to abide by their decisions, which are imposed and viewed as legal judgments.
The report shows that even in cases where Muslim tribunals work “in tandem” with police investigations, abused women often withdraw their complaints to the police, while Sharia judges let the husbands go unpunished.
Or, to quote Haitham al-Haddad, British Sharia Law Court Judge....
This is precisely the sort of cultural invasion, conquest, and assimilation that stalwart patriots like Irving, Texas, Mayor Beth Van Duyne are courageously and heroically combating, despite the fusillade of insults, smears, and intimidation raining down upon them.
It really does come back to that core question: Whose country is it anyway? The Islamic invaders', or ours? Sadly, for the one-time home of the Magna Carta, that question has already been answered.
