CBN News<\/a> posted a story today about what is happening in Great Britain regarding Sharia Law.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

There are reportedly some 85 Sharia courts now operating there, with Islamic judges ruling on cases ranging from financial to marital disputes among British Muslims<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We went into some proceedings and there were a couple of Islamic judges sitting up above the rest,” said Alan Craig<\/a>, who recently stepped down as leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance<\/a> party. “And there was one Muslim woman who was suing for divorce.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Craig is a former city councilor in East London, home to several Sharia courts where women face open discrimination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“A woman’s witness value is half that of a man,” Craig told CBN News. “So [the courts] will tend, therefore, to take the man’s position in a divorce.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

So could Sharia courts come to America? The idea sounds far-fetched to some.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Center for Security Policy<\/a>\u00a0in Washington, there have been some 50 court cases in at least 23 states that have seen conflicts between Sharia law and American state law.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And four states have adopted legislation, called “American Laws<\/a> for American Courts,” that would protect U.S. citizens from the use of any type of foreign law, like Sharia, in the courtroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In East London, Craig said the fight against Sharia is much more than a religious or legal issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It’s actually a human rights thing,” he said. “And we’re working in partnership with non-Christians as well on this trying to bolster and strengthen the position for Muslim women<\/a>.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, if Sharia Law comes to America, American women will have much more to worry about than whether or not they can get free birth control.<\/p>\n
