Sharia Law in the UK? - Page 4

No we don't need this law whatsoever. As long as I am alive I don't see this law ever coming to Britain. 😳

The fact is lots of religious laws applied in Democracy.....😳

small eg:- Sunday is off day why!!!!😳 cos some people wanna go church...same like arab countries friday is off...😳

Arab countries are not democracies, most are theocracies run by a constitutional monarchy. Besides, Sunday being off is not a law but a choice. In a democracy a business owner has the right to choose which days they want to give off.

That being said religious laws are indeed applied in democracies. Many democracies have marriage, divorce, inheritence laws adapted to religious communities. However, just because something exists does not mean it is justified or good for the nation.

The most crucial aspect of democracy is all citizens are considered equal. There cannot be a separate provision for anyone. When we allow any group to establish their own set of religious laws we destroy the principle of equity. Instead of adding a new law for each religion, democracies should be moving towards making one common supreme law for all.

Living in a democracy is a privelege, and the laws protect that privelege. There is always a law that is not conducive to some community. If individuals are so bothered by a law they can seek ammendment, but that ammendment applies to everybody. No one can ask for exceptions. Deal with it, or leave.

I have heard so many comments about this and then about how shariah law is so harsh, but being a muslim in the UK I can say that it wont come into effect! Shariah law only applies for muslim countries- the UK hence can not have the shariah law
