They can't even get Sharia law to work in Islamic countries.format_quote Originally Posted by snakelegs

The only place that comes closest is Saudi Arabia...but to me even Arabia seems somewhat involved in politics.format_quote Originally Posted by wilberhumThey can't even get Sharia law to work in Islamic countries.
Read history and you will see what the islamic law truly is, nothing to the slighest what the tyrants of today are making islamic law seem like.

I voted in this poll both yesterday and today... but there were less voters today.. and some comments made by people are gone.. strange.
To answer the question, I sincerely doubt it. I think it would only work if two conditions were fulfilled. First, to be in a country where the majority (and by that i don't mean 50%, i mean 80 or 90%) was muslim, and the other is that the non muslims must actually understand islam and shariah. Neither of those exist today in britain or anywhere else, so I don't see it happening.
Why is the title of this thread "It feels like life imprisonment"?
Are you equating Sharia law with life imprisonment?
Ok, my 3rd try after Forum Data Base Error:
I voted NO !
Peace
I voted no, but it might work in Australia, cos were a fair dinkum free society!format_quote Originally Posted by Ahmedjunior

Changed the title to something a bit clearer. As the other one was as confusing as a giant in a yoghurt pot.
it wont ever really be fully implemented without a khalifa...
right?
Will it work in britain? Yeah.
Will there be hostility towards it (if it is introduced) Hell yeah - there's hostility towards an archbishop for merely mentioning sharia, so you can betcha there will be hostility if it is introduced.
Will it be introduced? Probably not - most mps have expressed their concern over the matter, especially in the recent days, and have said no sharia. Which, honestly is fine as far as I am concerned. We first need to get our fellow muslim brothers and sisters obeying Islam properly before we even attempt sharia law in the UK.

Perhaps it was the historical reference to the London Blitz? St. Patrick? Maybe the forum just ate it? Anyway, I agree with aamirsaab.
Sharia law will only work if there is a truly Islamic nation under a legitimate Khalifah. The UK does not have that.
The question is a bit ambiguous. Can it work in the UK at some time in the future? Not, if the UK is the same as it is today. Can the UK ever be 100% Muslim? That is possible, but not anytime in the foreseeable future.
I voted no. Based on what the UK is today and for what it appears that it will be in the near future.
It doesn't help that the Archbishop was very unclear on what he actually meant. He certainly wasn't suggesting the country as a whole adopt any parts Sharia law and I certainly got the idea he was suggesting some sort of 'opt in' alternative for muslims in regard various aspects of law should they so wish.. be he has since denied any suggestion of 'parallel' systems.
Any idea of Sharia being introduced generally in the UK is, of course, nonsense barring a highly implausible change in the religious demographics sometime in the future. I personally would sincerely hope it never is; there are elements that betray their 7th century origin far too clearly IMHO.
For any law to be work, it has to be respected by the population. Not liked, necessarily. But hey, it doesn't hurt if it is - because if people like something, they want it, they demand it.
I just don't see much of a demand for Sharia in Britain at the moment.
What Islamic countries?format_quote Originally Posted by wilberhumThey can't even get Sharia law to work in Islamic countries.
the way britain is now- no
shariah law is a fair system and one that does not discriminate between rich and poor, influential and not so influential, muslim and non muslim, or racially.
so long as there is bribery and corruption amongst the leaders and people in charge....
