A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

What is legal by British law does not matter to Sharia. Just like Mormons with multiple wives. It is illegal, or not legal, by federal and state laws, but that does that stop Mormons from having multiple wives and grooming children for marriage? No. British Muslims turning to Sharia Law shows they are not assimilating and think British laws are inadequate, which is what the article suggests. I had a conversation with a Muslim who disagrees with US laws and thinks Sharia Laws are better. Sharia Laws are interpreted by elders or leaders of the community. Islam is very heavy in laws and their laws are not based on John Locke, or Immanuel Kant, or whatever.

I heard of Sharia Law being legally imposed or accepted by British authorities...

Claiming Muslims follow their religious laws even when illegal is completely different from your original claim that Sharia law is being legally imposed by British authorities.

I didn't say by British authorities. What is your definition of British authorities? The British Imams? Well, they are British and they are authority figures. Prove me wrong.

You claimed, "legally imposed". Muslim religious leaders have no legal authority as your own link proved.
