re: #155 elizmr

I do not agree that Britain should incorporate sharia into their existing legal framework, but it’s important to actually read what Imam Rauf wrote here, because he’s not saying he wants to impose sharia, and in fact he’s only talking about “aspects” of sharia that do not conflict with existing British law:

Sharia law is unequivocally clear that Muslims who live as minorities in non-Muslim majority communities are required to abide by the law of the land. That doesn’t prevent British Muslims from practicing aspects of Sharia that don’t conflict with British law, or from seeking changes in British law.

You can argue with his opinion, but this is not some kind of extremist call for imposing sharia law on the UK.
