Islamic Sharia Law against women is unavoidable in UK, will it soon be unavoidable in America?
Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable' Dr Rowan Williams Dr Williams says Muslims should have a choice in legal disputes The Archbishop of Canterbury says the adoption of certain aspects of Sharia law in the UK "seems unavoidable". Dr Rowan Williams told Radio 4's World at One that the UK has to "face up to the fact" that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system. Dr Williams argues that adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7232661.st...

- ur link doesn't work and US should be democratic "As it claims" If islamic laws have reached to the british law, that means that they are perfectly reasonable and agreed upon. Islamic Sharia governs all aspects of life, from relations between men and women to ethics in business and banking. Some aspects of sharia have become part of modern legal codes and are enforced by national judicial systems, while others are a matter of personal conscience.

- It'll NEVER happen in the USA. Our laws are not going to change for a bunch of backwards immigrants--if they don't want to follow OUR laws, they can go back where they came from.
- its always the law of the land that prevails, if you do not like it, you have the option of leaving. No one dragged you to the UK or the US , you came as a free citizen, fell free to leave. I for one will not hold you back.
- The Constitution of the Unites States of America and it's admendments are the law of the land in the USA...any other law that contradicts it is outta luck...sorry. You choose to live in a certain land then you choose to abide by it's laws...you don't have the luxury of picking and choosing....and if you don't like the laws of a certain country...then leave it to the people who do...and leave. And a really don't give a rat's patootie who this Dr. Rowan Williams is....let him tell it to the U.S Supreme Court.
