There is over emphasis in the British media about the implementation of sharia law in Uk. The debate has been started by a Christian but Muslims have been entangled in the resultiing fiasco.
First of all, the law in discussion will not apply to any non muslim so any scare mongering on that front is completely wrong.
Saying that, I as a Muslim do not want any parts of sharia law to be implemented in UK for the following reasons.
Muslims who live in UK have come from countures where sometimes freedoms are curtailed, so they do not want that repeated in this country as well.
Any changes to the current UK law should only happen as they ussually happen. When a part of law is found to be redundant, it is replaced with another sensible law which takes its crdence from the pople of the country , not some devine power.
I belive in God, but I do not belive in an Islamic, Christain ,Jewish or for that matter God belonging to any any organized form of religion. This so called God of organized religion has been abused by the peole who claim to speak for him and this must stop. A UK move towards sharia law albeit only for muslims is a step exactly in the wrong direction.
Tabloid press in England is playing with fire by stoking anger gainst muslims in UK. Muslims already are living under a climate of fear in most western countries and a debate started by a Christain should not have been used for mudslinging at muslims of this country.
