RIP British Legal System
Via Times Online
Increasing numbers of non-Muslims are turning to Sharia courts to resolve commercial disputes and other civil matters, The Times has learnt.
The Muslim Arbitration Tribunal (MAT) said that 5 per cent of its cases involved non-Muslims who were using the courts because they were less cumbersome and more informal than the English legal system.
Freed Chedie, a spokesman for Sheikh Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siqqiqi, a barrister who set up the tribunal, said: “We put weight on oral agreements, whereas the British courts do not.”
In a case last month a non-Muslim Briton took his Muslim business partner to the tribunal to sort out a dispute over the profits in their car fleet company. “The non-Muslim claimed that there had been an oral agreement between the pair,” said Mr Chedie. “The tribunal found that because of certain things the Muslim man did, that agreement had existed. The non-Muslim was awarded £48,000.” Read Full Story
Ekawaaz Thought: People are turning to Shaira court is not because they are getting fair justice which they can’t get under British Law but in fact they are turning because British legal system is very costly, poor and middle class just can’t even think to afford it. If Britain really wants to keep their Legal system working then they have to take major steps in order get rid of utter rubbish and old dated laws and replace it with them new and improved law system. Secondly Government of UK needs to make sure that legal system should be reachable and affordable for all British citizens. In principal and to maintain equal rights and justice for everyone, each and every country should be run be run by one Rule of Law.
I still remember that in 2008 even British Muslims Challenge UK Sharia Courts and launch a Campaign “One Law For All” Watch This Video…
