    Isn't prejudice always present in the law?

    Sure, but can you show me a statute in British law that says "In matters of inheritance, female children are entitled to a share 50% smaller than that of their brothers?"
    "What, have Canadians run out of guns to steal from other Canadians and now need to piss all over our glee?"

    Can you also show me where this is present in Muslim law?

    Dude, read the article that is the subject of this thread:

    Siddiqi said that in a recent inheritance dispute handled by the court in Nuneaton, the estate of a Midlands man was divided between three daughters and two sons.
    The judges on the panel gave the sons twice as much as the daughters, in accordance with sharia. Had the family gone to a normal British court, the daughters would have got equal amounts.

    This has nothing to do with Islam. I find it weird that a western nation is even allowing religious courts to make decisions on their soil. Any religion.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Yes but this is systematically implementing it deliberately.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
