Well no, it stems from the whole innocent till proven guilty

No it doesn't and if you really believe that you need to have a word with yourself. Proof is formed from evidence and, to my point, sometimes the evidence doesn't need to wait for a court of the good unless you're PC. A load of jet liners crash into tall buildings, let's not conclude the likely as a court hasn't ruled. That is really your justification in such incidents? I am all for not jumping to conclusions, but not when to most rationale minds it's blindingly obvious once you get a broader perspective from those on the scene.
 
Not entirely true, if you agree to be bound by the result of an arbitration service then their ruling certainly can have legal standing.

Though more importantly, some people (women in particular) can easily become victims of these courts when their community/family has expectations for them to use and adhere to the rulings of them. Pointing out that they're technically not real courts in that instance is rather moot as it makes little difference to the real world effect they can have on people (lest they want to essentially disown their families and move from their communities).

Still this thread is about a terror attack not dodgy arbitration services/'courts'

They are not Sharia courts in the United Kingdom.

This thread has not been about the terror attack since the first few posts, unfortunately whenever a terrorist attack happens these threads follow the same route.
 
I would suggest that this is the case with most people no? Though, ostensibly I don't mind what people decide to wear, the problem lies within the shift from the niqab being worn through the woman choice, or forced.

Yes. In most cases it is a Sharia law and therefore the women's choice in the matter is removed as she has to abide by it as a matter compliance with the faith. I have heard many Muslim women say that they wear the niqab by choice however but I doubt this to be true as they are conforming to sharia and therefore their ability to choose has been subjugated/removed. It's not surprising to me that some Western countries have banned the niqab.

I didn't claim there were (official) sharia courts, I've explained to you that there are arbitration services and that these can still have a similar effect. I've also corrected your statement that these have no legal standing.
 
Only by the same logic; that all religions have 'laws', Hindu, Christian, Judaism.

Though, 'law' is the wrong word to use.

Getting really boring.

Oxford Dict. said:
often the law[mass noun] The system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties:
 
No their is not... we are in England we following the law of the land

Makes me laugh that people can have such a strong opinion on a subject, yet they have no basic understanding.....

If you go by the law of the land then why do you need special sharia counclis to arbitrate on matters between muslims living in the UK.

What is wrong with the arbitration law we already have ?

Is it because the arbitration law we have treats ALL people as equals and doesnt treat women like second class citizens. ?
