Understanding insanity is always tricky.

The idea that Sharia Law has no influence or control is bonkers.

It is the 'rule of God' which you might not be aware, is quite important to most Muslims.

If it does, and it's a big if, it's not the point.

It's NOT the law. If people are influenced by it, or allow it to control their lives, they do so voluntarily.

Supporting Palace has that impact on some people.

That's a different issue. If actions taken as a consequence of someone following a ruling made under Sharia breaches the law, then it's those actions which are illegal. Why they were taken is irrelevant. The law is the law. And that's NOT Sharia.

Maybe that's too subtle a distinction for you, though.

Sharia law is not in operation in Britain.

Errr....state the claims I made that can't be verified.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

What bit of "it's not the law" do you not understand?

Sharia councils only help settle disputes if the parties agree they can, and even then there is no legal obligation to accept any decisions.

Cultural conventions and pressures are another issue completely. That we need to do more, inform more and support those who don't want to participate, especially women, is undoubtedly true.

It's the legal position that is under discussion. Not the cultural.

You have been caught out and, as usual, instead of admitting it, you just carry on doubling down. This is a very unfortunate part of public life these days and shameful to witness here.

The comment you responded to was this:-

"No, you’re right - I’ll just express engineered outrage every time I’m fed a headline of something that ‘may’ happen (even though it obviously won’t happen).

When are they rolling out Sharia law?"

To which you responded:-

"You have an opinion, I think it's highly obvious that it's the wrong one over time.

As for Sharia, it's already operating in the country."

If you respond to a statement, then any amount of wriggling doesn't change things. You even admitted, in a subsequent post, that Sharia and Sharia law are the same thing!

Sharia Councils can rule that the sky is green if they wish, but it won't make it so. All they can is help people reach agreements. They cannot legally enforce anything. That a community wants a form of arbitration and mediation they are comfortable with is a completely separate matter. It doesn't make it the law.
