Keeping an eye on Shari’a
A new web resource called ‘Sharia Watch
UK’ was launched on April 24 at the House
of Lords.
It aims to highlight the impact of Islamism
in Britain and the often hidden face of is proponents. The launch was hosted by Baroness
Cox, who has campaigned against the use of
shari’a law in tribunals and councils across
the UK. Lady Cox has argued that shari’a law
‘undermines the most fundamental principles of equality enshrined in British law’ in
respect of its treatment of women.
