The country is lost.
All of those hundreds of years of progress shat upon.
The way of life our parents and grandparents fought for and lost their lives for, debased, devalued, and stolen from their children.
Hopefully I'll be living out most of the rest of my days elsewhere.

It's a disgraceful betrayal of our heritage. culture and the principles of Magna Carta.
What with EU laws and Sharia laws I'd better start looking at the Isle of Man

A typical over-reaction by the Daily Mail and others and others in order to further their agenda. As usual, they have failed to properly report the facts.
This issue is not about "enshrining Islamic law" into the British legal system, but simply allowing people to leave their estate to who they wish. The same rules to do with challenging of wills and maintained dependants will still apply.
Don't get me wrong, many aspects of "Sharia Law" are despicable and I strongly believe that the legal system should be completely secular, but inaccurate reporting doesn't further this cause.

What agenda might that be then ?
It's the thin end of the wedge.
Islam should be a banned organisation in this country. It belongs in the dark ages.

I must admit to being surprised at the number of Sharia courts......what's that all about then? Can they settle family squabbles outside of English law?
I must be leading a sheltered life despite being in Northampton

I think in the spirit of "inclusion" and "integration" we should have a pilot scheme to give a run out of shariah style punishments to Muslim criminals - I'd be looking at floggings and hangings for drug dealers, hand amputations for thieves, castration for groomers etc

Exactly right Jamesey, its all simply poor reporting, nothing will be "enshrining islamic law". It is only for lawyers to understand how this law works for their clients. I believe that sons get double the amount of daughters, mothers get 1/8th and the eldest son gets the most.
Nothing different than we do here already, everyone has the right to leave any amount to anyone they wish in their will.
Their "sharia laws" is not good if you are female, which is probably unacceptable to most of us, but this Will thing is just sensational reporting.
Did you notice that all newspapers used the word "effectively".... not that it is or will be.
The only question I have is why it's necessary for the lawyers to bring it up in the first place (more work ?) Their clients can simply write the wills the same way as their sharia law anyway !!
I admit I am a Daily Mail reader but I try and see through poor reporting.

Thin end of wedge. Whilst i agree it's exaggerated it still needs to be kept an eye on.

It's not racist to say sharia law is .......s and not one element of it should be entertained in the UK!

Well it will if people say it doesn't matter or it's not important, any mention of it should be jumped upon and shut down, period!

Damn!!... Who intends to make this law?
Islamic law is to be effectively enshrined in the British legal system for the first time under guidelines for solicitors on drawing up “Sharia compliant” wills.
