    Not good. It'll take tragedy to make some folks realize just how bad this decision really is.

    this brings up the question, what about muslims that dont want to be tried/judged by religious law, but prefer secular/civil law? will they have a choice?

    this is kinda like tribal courts. how do you sort out jurisdiction?

    Designer justice. Want your wife flogged in public? Sharia! Want to get away with having a beer in public? British Law!

    Dumbest. Idea. Ever.

    Britain was once a great nation. With great minds.

    I doubt that the details of this are as scary as the headline. But this is not inconsequential.

    Camel's nose under the tent, as the old Arab saying goes.
