With 85 Islamic councils, Britain has now become the de-facto sharia capital of the west. Will we allow this to happen in America as well?

From GBN. Britain has emerged as the “western capital” for sharia courts, with 85 Islamic councils now operating across the country since the first was established in 1982.

These religious bodies have become increasingly influential, drawing Muslims from across Europe and North America who seek religious rulings on marriage and family matters.

The councils, typically consisting of panels of Islamic scholars who are almost always male, serve as informal bodies issuing religious rulings particularly focused on marriages and divorces. …

An estimated 100,000 Islamic marriages have been conducted in Britain, with many not officially registered with civil authorities.

These marriages often require religious rulings for dissolution, particularly affecting women who must seek approval from sharia councils for divorce.

Many aspects of traditional sharia have been modified in most Muslim countries, but classical rulings are frequently still observed in marriage and divorce matters.

The councils have religious authority to end marriages at a wife’s request if her husband is unwilling to grant a divorce, though this process differs significantly from civil proceedings.

Men seeking Islamic divorces can end their marriages simply by saying “divorce” three times, highlighting a stark contrast in gender-based religious procedures. …

The National Secular Society has raised significant concerns about these parallel legal systems in Britain.

Stephen Evans, the society’s chief executive, warned that these councils “undermine the principle of one law for all” and negatively impact women’s and children’s rights. …

One of Britain’s most prominent sharia courts was founded by Haitham al-Haddad, who has faced criticism for his controversial views.

Al-Haddad was among British scholars who visited the Taliban after they recaptured Afghanistan. …

The Government maintains a clear position on the role of sharia law in Britain.

“Sharia law does not form any part of the law in England and Wales,” a Government spokesman stated. …

Lord of Heaven, we desire that your kingdom of heavenly order be established on earth and long for your coming. Preserve and protect your people as we strive to establish your purposes in our lives. In the authority of your divine sacrifice we bind the demonic deception of Sharia laws from being practiced in our nation. We decree they will never be allowed any legal authority within US territory.
We plead for your divine assistance for Christians in other nations who come under demonic doctrines in their governments. We pray you will help protect and preserve their faith in you always. Amen
