> The UK has many sharia courts which act as marriage and divorce authorities, where women often have far fewer rights than men. (This sounds hysterical and far-right-ish, but it’s true)

Point out one of these Sharia courts on Google maps please.

Five seconds in Google Maps:

The Islamic Sharia Council is a community centre for Muslims in the local area, offering various services.

It has nothing to do with implementing Sharia law in an extra-judicial court.

Please stop with the fear-mongering.

You are clearly arguing in bad faith, as the "various services" on that website clearly include divorce as adjudicated by Sharia law.

If you don't believe me, take it from Trevor Phillips, the former UK minister who coined the term "Islamophobia."

Also, new WSJ piece out today with a travelogue through a Islamicized UK town, including Sharia courts and ubiquitous face veiling:

There is nothing in that article about Sharia courts. Just a sentence about some Muslim guy handing out books and talking about Sharia law.

There are no laws against that, or wearing religious clothing.

I'm done talking with someone who out-and-out lies.

"I later saw the Islamic Shari’a Council of Leyton. This community has religious, educational, business and legal institutions to maintain a separate identity."
