Sharia legitimises slavery

This week Lord Phillips, the Lord Chief Justice advocated that some disputes could be settled on the basis of 'the principles of sharia' rather than English law. Douglas Carswell MP has written a commendable critique of why Lord Phillips has overstepped his constitutional position in making these remarks. What must be of equally great concern is that the Lord Chief Justice appears to have totally misunderstood the very nature of sharia. Put simply, Islamic theology unequivocally states that law cannot be 'made' by people, it can only be 'discovered' by Islamic theologians interpreting the Islamic scriptures (Qur'an and Hadlth). Consequently, when sharia exists alongside any other form of law, the 'man-made' law must always be subservient to sharia.

An example of the superior status given to sharia is slavery - which within the last 50 years has been banned by constitutional law in virtually every country in the world...yet is still present in a number of Islamic countries BECAUSE sharia legitimises the enslavement of non Muslims. An illustration of this happened this very week when Belgium police freed 17 women allegedly held as slaves by members of an Arab royal family residing in Brussels.

...The truth is that political correctness and the fear of being accused of 'Islamophobia' have kept the Islamic aspect of the slave trade largely veiled from public attention. Yet the express permission granted in Islamic law for the enslavement of non Muslims was a significant factor not just in the eighteenth century transatlantic slave trade, but also continues to be in a number of modern Islamic contexts. The existence of twin system of law in many Islamic countries - one constitutional and the other, Islamic (sharia) often operated on a more informal level - allows those engaged in slavery to claim a degree of 'legitimacy' in terms of Islamic law.

I intend now to get a copy of 'White Gold' it sounds like an interesting read.  Funny how the topic of slavery is treated so one sidedly ...  :whatever:

"Londonistan" is a good read also. Sorry Bijou, but Britain isn't Great anymore. Hopefully the Soccer Hooligans will rise up and take their country back.

With few exceptions, Great Britain has been neutered. I suppose that the Brits have long forgotten the Muslim raids on their country. Muslims raped, pillaged, plundered Great Britain and even took white slaves. Of course, all of that has probably been stricken from their history books.

Don't we have a coupla Brits on the board. I'd be interested to know how they feel about this mess!
