The New Britain

Islamic sharia law is gaining an increasing foothold in parts of Britain, a report claims.
Sharia, derived from several sources including the Koran, is applied to varying degrees in predominantly Muslim countries but it has no binding status in Britain.

However, BBC Radio produced evidence yesterday that it was being used by some Muslims as an alternative to English criminal law. Aydarus Yusuf, 29, a youth worker from Somalia, recalled a stabbing case that was decided by an unofficial Somali "court" in south-east London.
Mr Yusuf said a group of Somali youths were arrested on suspicion of stabbing another Somali teenager. The victim's family told the police it would be settled out of court and the suspects were released on bail.

However, [a spokesman for Scotland Yard] said cases of domestic violence, including rape, might go to trial regardless of the victim's wishes.

Oh really, they might? This is what happens when your liberally-governed multiculturalism-embracing country becomes colonized by a type of invader that has no interest in assimilating into your culture.

And the U.S.? Well, we have the government in place. Now all we need are more of these immigrants.
