I know SFA about Shariah Law....and something about the Constitution. Can one of those in the know, let me know if there is any (and if so, what) conflict between the two?
I know about sharia (god's) law as muslims call it and sfa about the consititution, i dont have time to read it and give you an essay so have this for starters.
1.We are a constitutional monarchy with the Queen as head of state, under sharia law they do a caliphate form of dictatorship with the Caliph as the head of state, there is no separation of mosque and state the mosques and dusty old books from the dark ages are where they get their laws.
2.we cannot make any laws for or against religion or the free practice of religion, sharia law outlaws all other gods, the jews and christians have to pay a form of protection money called Jizya to be themselves.
Religious discrimination against non muslim beliefs are allowed under sharia law.
Of course our constitution can be changed by referendum, every time muslims get to vote they vote for the religious nutjobs like Hamas, Hezbollah (party of god), the muslim brotherhood in Egypt.
In Iran which operates under sharia law, Amnesty international have raised numerous human rights concerns.
If you oppose the Islamic regime in Iran you are declared an enemy of God and executed.
If you oppose the Islamic state where they rule you are declared an apostate or infidel and get your head chopped off.
Of course the leftists like defending Islamofacism which is what Islamic rule is.
