The Muslim Council of Britain warmly welcomes the Lord Chief Justice's valuable contribution to the discussion on the role of Islam and Muslims in Britain's legal traditions. In a scholarly speech outlining the development of the equality laws in the English legal system Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers spoke of the "widespread misunderstanding" of the nature of Sharia law.

"There is no reason why Sharia principles, or any other religious code, should not be the basis for mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution [with the understanding] that any sanctions for a failure to comply with the agreed terms of mediation would be drawn from the Laws of England and Wales."

Dogs with pads, not liking curry is racism england is nuts. Sweden will have to work hard for that dhimmi-award.

Yes, my bad, the LCJ did join in after Archbishop Beard. Apologies. I stand corrected

I do not stand corrected that there is nothing whatsoever wrong, alarming, or new in the bit I have emboldened. If two parties by agreement want to have their dispute mediated in accordance with Sharia I am at a loss as to why the law should stop them.

It's a question of freedom of choice.

This was a rather interesting programme last night: http://www.channel4.com/news/article...muslim/2314592 Amongst the points was a quick survey of Muslim scare stories in the British media, including the Sun's front page splash "Muslim hate mob attacks home for Our Brave Boys" (not according to the local police it didn't, they said they had no idea who did it) and "Thousands of patients at risk from Muslim doctors" (Muslim women doctors apparently refuse to wash their arms up to the elbows as it is immodest, except that the hospitals in question said that this had never happened.)

Then in one rather telling bit they showed punters headlines like "Doctors say they fear blacks" or "Jews demand special treatment" and everyone said it was outrageous, except that, you guessed it, they weren't real headlines, they had taken real headlines and replaced the word Muslim with other minority groups.

In short: the media lies about muslims.
