If we were in any other country you abide by their laws!
Alot of people are saying "what a good idea, it might solve the crime problem we have in this country".
The reason we have a crime problem is because the laws that we already have in place are not being used fully.
As for sharia law, lets say it is going to apply to muslim's only, how do we tell if someone's muslim?.
Watch how quickly someone becomes non muslim if sharia is applied to them!.
The whole things a complete joke and just another example of this country going down the pan.
When in rome..........
I think the point here might well be that mostly Sharia,English or other countries laws are in some ways antiquated? perhaps for the modern world we need a laws to cater for modern times?
This said, i would be a little worried if our laws suddenly were changed to some muslim or other faiths beliefs?
There was a bit on the radio today that was saying one muslim community had purchased a property & were already taking family problems there for judgment.
I think the comment from the AofC was a classic misdirect. I suspect that its an attempt to suggest that if its okay for community to have a set of rules and laws which can ignore the national laws thenit will be acceptable and okay to allow the CofE to have laws and rules which are not governed by the UK Govt.
The CofE just had to pay a very large bill to a Gay worker because it blocked his employment. If the CofE can convince the UK that Sharia law is in practice then it can begin to argue that its allowed to ignore employment law.
Just one idea more thought to the pile of ideas.
In sweet22 law,
can you add FLOGGING as a punishment.
And PUT ME FIRST lol :P :twisted:
The laws in any society all rely on one thing. The fact that the majority of the people are happy to abide by them. It is not possible for a police force to enforce a law without the consent of the people.
The problem with our society is not the law, it is not the police force. It is the people who live in this country.
There is a general acceptance that some laws don't apply. (speeding, driving using a mobile) Once you accept the idea that not all laws apply to you then you begin the slippery slope to anarchy.
So to sum up.
I blame you, yes you sitting there reading this. You believe that not all laws apply to you and should hand yourself into the police immediately for the good of society.
reading this has me thinking can we go dogging in saudi or bare shouldered in a mosque so why can they have their laws here, ok i sound harsh but Mr works in saudi now and then and was there when the lass was in a car with a man not of her family they were seen by a group of men and he ran off and she was gang they were punished then she was given 6 months or 200 lashes 1 for being in a car with a male alone and 2 putting her family to shame seems the king of saudi stepped in and saved her the lashes,
This is the same country that has just allowed women to work in shops to sell undies and girly things to women #
Thank god for European rules bad as they can be
rant over
lusty
Is it me or is it kind of amusing that members of a Swinging Community want strict religous rules. Lets see
Swinging = sex outside of wedlock. Threesomes moresomes, sex just for the pleasure of sex rather than to produce children.
Religous views = sex is a sin, sex only for procreation, sex with only one partner(your husband or wife) no sex outside of the marital bed.
Hmmmmmm I'm getting mixed messages from the people posting here.
I suppose its a lot to expect that people might actually think aboutthings before posting. Some do I know. Just hoing that people would look beyond the ends of their noses and think about the consequences of the views they voice.
Imo the Archbishop of Canterbury is a clever man. The Sharia laws that he proposes to be adopted in the UK are those that are specific to the muslim people, such as non-observance of the Haj etc. Many, many muslims come here from other countries to escape their overt religious persecution. Making things as tough here as they are in their own crappy country of birth under Sharia law will hopefully have the effect of putting off more of them from coming here. I think that this is what the A of C is angling for. Well played sir!
SlurpySarah xx
laws imply custom? when was it customary to go outside a public building to smoke,or to wear a helmet to ride a motorcycle?
laws impose the will of the lawmakers,whether elected or religious,to control the population.
do you think the romans didn`t impose laws on countries they conquered? would those laws have much to do with local customs, or more to do with taxes and control?
in countries where sharia law applies,interpretation is at the whim of whoever is the top honcho in that region rather than by any democratic means.
christian society was similar till a couple of hundred years ago,luckily for us civil law supercedes religious, would anyone really like to go back to
torture and burning for religious dissent?dont forget our christian church didn`t give up their
power voluntarily, it was imposed on them (by law,not custom) it would be such a retrogade step to allow a new set of theist laws sneak into our lives by the backdoor
might be interested in the sweet22 law. 
Love it 
Worth a thought. 
:banghead:
second thoughts u will like that :doh:
