Act now to tackle the injustice of sharia in the UK Introduction to use of sharia law in the UK Baroness Cox speaks about the Bill Diana Nammi on the impact of sharia on women Baroness Cox introduced a new Bill in the House of Lords yesterday which is intended to outlaw the use of sharia law where it conflicts with English law. The Bill has arisen over concerns about the discrimination suffered by Muslim women under the sharia system. The Bill proposes to protect women by stopping discriminatory rulings that are contrary to UK law and ensuring that sharia law does not appear to have jurisdiction where it does not. The Bill is being supported by the “Equal and Free” Campaign, backed by Christian Concern and many other groups. Andrea Minichiello Williams said: “The underlying principles of sharia law are very different from those found in our domestic law. We want to make sure that women in the UK are not put at a disadvantage due to the spread of these courts. We need to ensure that the law of our land applies fairly and equally to all citizens” Please see the campaign website here > Please see our full article on the proposed Bill here.
