"IT’s decisions have to be fair, just and conforming to legal proceedings at the local, state and federal level and recognized as such by the courts."
It doesn't matter. It's good that they are opposing Sharia "law". Better oppose it before it creeps in more and more. http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/...stops-sharia-court-here-is-her-epic-response/
Except that these state legislators are fueling resentment against the Muslim community creating more of those "Obama is a Muslim" chodes. And no, Sharia Law isn't creeping into the United States. If so, then Jewish law is creeping into the Untie States as Jewish tribunals have existed in the United States for a while.
The difference between Sharia Law and Islamophobia in the United States: Islamophobia exists and is a real thing. Sharia Law poses no threat to the socio-political atmosphere of this country.
The "Obama is a Muslim" stuff is nonsense. One should not shy from opposing Sharia "law" just because one wants to avoid fueling resentment. You know what really fuels resentment? Terror attacks. Intolerance. Oppression of women. Oppression of gays.
And American Muslims are more likely to support gay marriage than your average evangelical Christian. One can oppose sharia law while understanding that it already is illegal in the United States and not push a redundant bill attempting to ban Sharia law just to satisfy the insular chodes that compromise their constituency.
www.smh.com.au/nsw/sexual-assault-v...wish-community-court-told-20140527-3916b.html "Sexual assault victim ostracised by Orthodox Jewish community, court told A victim of child sexual assault has told a court how he has been ostracised, bullied and intimidated by the Orthodox Jewish community for reporting his abuser to police. The man, now a 38-year-old married father, was 14 when he was indecently assaulted by Daniel Robert Hayman at a yeshiva camp at Stanwell Tops in the 1980s. Earlier this month Hayman, a dual Australian-American citizen who lives with his wife and children in Los Angeles, pleaded guilty to indecent assault of a child under 16 and under his authority.

I wasn't using a misnomer. My statement was about actual Islamophobia. You can't paint everyone who dislikes Islam as having the same position as you. A good amount are actual Islamophobes, especially when talking about the United States. Because again, sharia law is zero threat here so no one should have a reasonable need to oppose sharia law in the United States. Other than likely just being against Islam because they dislike Muslims. My statement stands.
In the United States anyone who is afraid of Sharia law taking hold here, is either paranoid, ignorant or both. It isn't happening, and as has already been stated, we have safeguards to prevent it. I'm against Sharia law, but I'm also not in any way concerned about it having any jurisdiction in the U.S.
So what? Clutchfans has a court too. Ruled by Clutch, bigtexx, castor and rockets2k. Jeff lost his privileges.
The minute some wack mullah can compel a US American to appear before his "court" and abide by his judgements be sure to let me know. Until then I'll treat these sorts of threads as what they are, masturbation material for obsessed bigots.
] Islam is a religion not a political ideology. The UK has other problems too. Like the Indians marrying their children by force from teenage /children age. They are there for decades and it is still going on. You don't see such problems in France. Because religious courts would never ever be legitimate. And that's what UK should do as well. In france you are french citizen not christian muslim etc and as a christian you are banned from wearing your cross to school so a muslim is banned from covering their young girl from head to toe. Everyone equal treatment. If you don't agree with the laws of the country as a citizen you can appeal them to the european council of human rights, speak to your represantive or political group to oppose them in court if you feel they are against them OR you can move out. Now go make a thread about Singapore as well.
Faith-based arbitration, which we also have here. Sucks, but probably relieves the dockets and adheres to whatever religious freedom laws they have in UK.
Arbitration based on some sort of community identity is a common standard of conflict resolution and problem solving across the world. As far as it stands in the United States, in most occurrences any arbitration that is faith based is not infringing on basic rights allotted to all people.
All religions have these set ups. The6y are for non criminal issues and not mandatory. Xenaphobia is insane
Apparently these "sharia courts" are just arbitrators that both sides volunteer into and I couldn't find a non-biased source backing the horrid claims made in this thread. Also the 85 sharia courts seems to be a made up number: https://fullfact.org/factcheck/law/80_sharia_courts_britain-38319
