English Fascists not understanding the Futility of trying to introduce religeous intolerance to the west of Scotland will never not amuse me,
A reform councillor talking shite again, who’d have thought it. I do wonder how they quantity this stuff because I can’t say I’ve noticed Sharia Law being imposed on Glesga.
It’s a hard one. Both SNP and Reform talk out their arses.
So ludicrous that it doesnt deserve a responce. Why was he addressing the ramblings of a crackpot non entity?
I always get annoyed by the “sharia law” argument since I discovered what it really is: it’s just faith-based arbitration of disputes. It’s not like it’s the legal system giving any type of exception to people or anything, it’s just that in certain civil scenarios (like divorce) there are doctrines that give guidance on what should happen. In principle it isn’t different to Catholics consulting a priest or Jews consulting a rabbi, except that its a bit more structured and less up to the individual spiritual leader to give their own interpretation of scripture.
It’s just been labelled as “law” and people use that to stir up controversy as though our legal system is making an exception for them, and they’re not. You’re still bound by the UK legal system as long as you live here.
The law won’t be enforced – but an ever growing percentage of people in the city will live following it, and will thus look for schools, shops and even neighborhoods that also follow it
It will always be ludicrous to the person who’s NOT being fed 24/7 internet slop of influencers/youtubers/political commentators/MPs sharing videos or articles where it so happens to be a Muslim doing something bad. Then trying to prescribe that instance of bad behaviour as something which is endemic to a wider population and that it is a result of their particular faith that it is occurring.
To the person who’s is taking this stuff in, it’s obvious that it’s happening and who are you (Swinny) to ignore it? It’s their version of the climate crisis and they feel the facts are on their side.
Ultimately I feel this is a problem created by the internet and an erosion or dilution of journalistic integrity. The internet is really in its later Wild West phase, but it really needs clamped down on.
Discussion on any subject is completely futile until you can have basic, agreeable facts which aren’t distorted for political gain or lies and half truths which are amplified by this globe spanning microphone we call the internet.
>Islamic Shari’ah Council in Scotland (ISCS) was a response to the growing demand for guidance on matters related to Islamic law in Scotland. As an increasing number of Muslims have made Scotland their home, there has been a need for an authoritative body to provide advice on religious issues and help Muslims navigate their daily lives in accordance with the principles of Shari’ah.
>Its main role is to help individuals or families facing personal issues or disputes that require guidance in accordance with the principles of Islamic law
>There appears to be a widespread public misunderstanding of the principles of Sharia law, and the purpose and involvement of Sharia tribunals and their place within the UK. This misunderstanding is not restricted to non-Muslims. First, it needs to be made clear that there are no Sharia courts in the UK – they don’t see themselves as such and it is not a title they use. They call themselves councils, and see themselves as tribunals or mediation centres with a focus on assisting parties. They play an important role for Scottish Muslims and complement the civil legal system.
>These councils consist of selected local elders or wise individuals in the Muslim community who give up their time and draw on their knowledge and experience. They do not deal with child custody or contact disputes. They also do not determine disputes in relation to financial or property matters, deferring such decisions to the Scottish civil courts. Their focus when it comes to family law matters is in fact quite narrow: they deal with religious marriages and focus on reconciliation and mediation when dealing with relationship breakdowns or divorce. They apply Sharia principles in a fair and useful way, focusing on equality and fairness for both parties.
Shite spouted by people who don’t have a clue what shariah law or shariah courts actually are.
It just amazes me how people get these ideas into their heads. According to the last census 2.2% of Scotlands population identified as Muslim. I would also assume that a fair number of that 2.2% were actually Suuni. Traditionally Suuni is the largest with about 90% of Muslims. So assuming this percentage carries forward that is a very small number of Shia. This woman is clearly deluded!!!

It appears to be a community/ religious service
