Revealed: UK’s first official sharia courts
Revealed: UK’s first official sharia courts - Times Online
Im wondering if this could be a pivotal step back in establishing civil rights for muslim women. Not only will it create different rules for different people but will this eventually lead to corruption that absolute power tends to promote? It brings to mind the seperation of church and state that the USA has and whether the world would look kindly on the evangelicals establishing their own ruling courts.. funny? maybe... maybe not. We Americans can see the trends that UK establishes soon become trends here at home..
Does history repeat itself? The Church of England was established after seperating from the Catholic church... The corruption still leaves a bitter taste in the mouths of the world.. the result of absolute power...
Step forward? or Step back..?
