My question is this: if it is a contractual agrement other than British law, how would either party expect it to be governed by British law when one or both parties faults?
They don't.

As long as punishments don't contravene British law, then I don't really see any problem with this - it's like having a gentleman's agreement - it's not legally binding, but is informally binding - only in this case, any agreement entered into under Sharia law wouldn't be binding by British law, but may be by Sharia law.
Except it would be binding under British law insofar as any contract is binding under British law.

Essentially he's just stating the obvious.

or just talk about the OP maybe?  for a change?  maybe?  for once?  Not Iraq and the US since it has NOTHING to do with the story.

Or maybe it does given that the OP is criticising Britain for a percieved bending to the will of Sharia law, and he was comparing it to another situation involving Sharia law.

The fact that you think it's a bad point doesn't change it, and you're ignoring the fact that a Western power had a big influence over those who chose to use Sharia law.

once again, has nothing to do with the OP.  you just want to play the compare game around here, or discuss the story?

No, that is not the point of the OP or the story.  You are just drawing that conclusion so you can talk about the US and iraq, thus diverting from the actual story as usual.

Actually, I'm not talking about the US or Iraq.  And the point of the OP is the attitude of a Western government in relation to Sharia law.


Or isn't it?  How would you describe it?

The point of the OP is why the Brits are letting islam dictate their laws.

The OP has yet to establish that the Brits are letting Islam dictate their laws, and CamPoe was bringing up another situation in which a non-Islamic government viewed Sharia law as acceptable.

Apparently we let Jews do their Beth Din shit here, so tbh, If they're allowed to do their shit...

The right way forward would be to ban all sorts of religious ruling. And to be fair to that judge, he wasn't talking about outright Sharia law and all that

Becasue they were reporting news, not doing an opinion piece on the wider implications.

Or, perhaps, they didn't think it relevant.  Doesn't make them right.

I don't know what the big deal is. As the Lord Chief Justice said, as long as people enter into that contract voluntarily, what's the problem. No one is forcing them to follow sharia law if they don't want to.
Amazingly, I agree with you.
