Sharia Law

English law, the basis of United States law, has recently been changed by an English judge. The judge allowed a segment of English citizens, who are Muslim, to be ruled in England by Sharia law. This group of Muslims denied that English law was good for Muslims and they insisted that they would rather be ruled by Sharia law. What is so great about Sharia law that they missed in English law? They pointed to their "culture" and their need to be true to it. Here is a nation that is going to try to live with two legal systems. Can it be done? Equality of the sexes is a problem for Muslims, the male must always rule, and even more, he is the disciplinarian of the family. Family females are subservient to him and must follow his desires. If he says no then it does not happen. Transgressions can be severely punished. If he decides that his female children will have their clitoris removed then it is done. Females have no need of joy in sex. Homosexuals are anathema to Muslims and they preach death for them. London has it's share and I predict trouble ahead. If a Muslim woman is raped the blame goes to the woman and not the man who raped her. Some punishment have been severe ranging from whipping, caning and even execution. How are the English going to maintain a dual legal system? Is it possible? Here in the U.S. we had a segment of our society that believed in polygamy and over the years the Mormons changed. Is there a possibility for Muslims in England to change? Not when they will be allowed their own law. The English people have much trouble coming in the near future.
