In February, the BBC reported that , “The Archbishop of Canterbury says the adoption of certain aspects of Sharia law in the UK "seems unavoidable". Well, the Religion Of Peace has finally slipped one past the folks in the UK. Just recently, the UK courts ever so slyly approved Sharia law, which now is enforceable by county courts and the High Court of England. Britain Adopts Islamic Law, Gives Sharia Courts Full Power to Rule on Civil Cases.
So what does this mean for British Muslims who decide (or are forced by their husbands) to be judged in Sharia Courts? Well, check out what the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has to say.
For which crimes does the Quran mandate specific punishments?
Five crimes known as the Hadd offenses, Lombardi says. Because these offenses are mentioned in the Quran, committing them is considered an affront to God. They are:
• Wine-drinking and, by extension, alcohol-drinking, punishable by flogging
• Unlawful sexual intercourse, punishable by flogging for unmarried offenders and stoning to death for adulterers
• False accusation of unlawful sexual intercourse, punishable by flogging
• Theft, punishable by the amputation of a hand
• Highway robbery, punishable by amputation, or execution if the crime results in a homicide
What the hell are the Brits thinking?
