Great Britain faces a major problem, shared by other governments on the Continent, but most advanced in the UK: It is the problem of creeping recognition of Islamic (Shari’a) law. This is a symptom of the greater problem of multiculturalism. The central idea of which is that anything is good as long as it is not Western Civilization. A pity that. Multiculturalists are going to find out there are many religions and ideologies that are much, much worse than Western Civilization. Indeed, given the lack of support for Western Civilization among Western elites, all who live in (formerly) Western countries will find out as well.
A hallmark of Western Civilization is equal justice under law. A person may have come from Saudi Arabia but he will be tried under British law, as would his fellow citizens or residents. This cornerstone is being eroded before our eyes. The presence and growing acceptance of Shari’a by British officials, courts, and population destroys equal justice under law.
Since the UK recognizes Shari’a, then the next step is clear. Why should only Muslims get to be selective concerning which laws apply.
In our Brave New Multicultural World, all of us can pick and choose our laws and our courts. Thus, why cannot a white British subject claim to recognize only the law of Anglo-Saxon King Alfred the Great. British media and public have to demand accountability. They have to reverse creeping Shari’a and act to save Britain while there is time.
The Right Reverend Dr. Michael Nazir-Ali has an excellent story in today’s Telegraph. Dr. Nazir-Ali is one of the foremost opponents of creeping Shari’a. This is an issue all who love freedom and liberty must monitor and offer their support to Dr. Nazir-Ali and his allies. Creeping Shari’a is a good indicator of the health of the West. Let’s just say that no insurerer (not even AIG) would sell the West a life insurance policy.
