BRITISH COURTS TAKE STEP TOWARD SHARIA

The below article provides firm evidence that British courts are walking towards acceptance of Sharia law. 

Mohammed (what else) Ashraf Adam told the magistrate that he had stood infront of the mosque elders and sworn on the Quran that he wouldn't continue to beat his wife - his mosque would retaliate if he broke his promise. Of course the Quran instructs muslim men on how to treat their wife (wives) and beating is not forbidden but encouraged.(sura 4.34)

So appearing before a mosque's Sharia law allocating elders is now considered acceptable excuse in British courts? The fact that the Sharia court was sought out prior to British court indicates just where muslims place British law in importance to Sharia law.  When will the courts of Great Britain start to accept the Sharia court decisions with NO appearance in British courts required? Soon from the look's of it.

Koran pledge not to beat wife

A MAN who assaulted his wife told a court how he had called on his mosque elders to help sort out his marriage difficulties.

Mohammed Ashraf Adam told Hyndburn magistrates he had stood in front of the elders and his wife, had taken the Koran in his hand and pledged never to his wife again. And defence solicitor Roger Pickles said his client was well aware that if he ever broke his promise the Mosque would come down on him "like a ton of bricks".

Adam, 44, of Strathclyde Road, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to assaulting Nimmi Adam.

He was made subject to community supervision for 24 months with a condition he attends the domestic violence programme and pay £250 compensation and £150 costs.

Adam told the court how he had gone before the Mosque committee and confessed what he had done before telling his wife, in the presence of the elders, that he would never hit her again.

"The elders have told me that if there is any repetition they will support the police and the court," said Mr Adam.

"I turned to the elders for help because it is in the Koran that a man cannot hit his wife."
