EU judges want Sharia law applied in British courts.  I think it’s a false alarm BUT …

I can’t think this bit of lunacy has a chance of passing muster. Can you?  I mean come on.  Even these these people will begin to see how ridiculous and unworkable this would be.  Or, would it?

The reason for posting this short piece is not just to highlight Moonbattery.  It shows us how lightly something called national sovereignty is held by far too many.  Oh sure, some politician in some eu member country will sit down and write legislation for a country he or she isn’t even a citizen of.  Easy thing to their way of thinking as they are not citizens of France or England or Germany.  No.  They are citizens of the EU now.  See how that works?

I really do not think this will travel just because this particular judge thinks it should. I think it’ll be ignored EXCEPT .... unless I am very much mistaken sharia already exists here in some form for domestic issues.  But not because some EU judge deemed it should be so. 
Which doesn’t make things any better. Does It?

Americans can be thankful we’re (well you guys are) located in a place not attached to Europe.  For now anyway.  But hey, keep your eye on Barry America.

Controversial: An EU plan is calling for family courts across Europe to hear cases using the laws of whichever country the couple involved have close links to

Judges could be forced to bow to Sharia law in some divorce cases heard in Britain.

An EU plan calls for family courts across Europe to hear cases using the laws of whichever country the couple involved have close links to.

That could mean a court in England handling a case within the French legal framework, or even applying the laws of Saudi Arabia to a husband and wife living in Britain.

The Centre for Social Justice think tank today attacked the so-called Rome III reform as ludicrous.

It warned it would slow down cases, increase costs and lead to unjust results.
However, in a report it says existing arrangements are ‘anti-family’.

Currently, a couple from different EU states can have their divorce heard in the first country where one of them files divorce papers.

Because different states offer varying financial advantages to spouses in terms of division of wealth, the resulting ‘race to court’ in the best jurisdiction discourages couples from trying to save their marriage, it says.

The report calls for a simpler solution, with each country applying its own laws and cases being heard in the country where the couple have the closest connection.

At least nine EU states - not including the UK - are said to want to push ahead with the Rome III plan.

EU AND SHARIA

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
