The last time
I recalled Sharia Law was that the western countries condemned it for its
extreme disregard for human rights in favour of tradition and practice. Sharia
law prevented women from education and their rights and even left young MalalaYousafzai almost dead at the hands of Taliban assassins.
However, if
you knew the way the world works, you would have figured out by now that
governments prefer a balance of human rights and economic progress in
countries. The UK is no exception; it is integrating some changes in the UK
legal system to accommodate Sharia laws.
Despite the UK
having a small population of Muslims, the integration of Sharia law will allow the
UK a richer network of business, corporations and individuals from the
population to enrich its economic prospects. If your rights are respected, you
are appeased and you would want to serve the government that granted you access
to such privileges. This will make corporation heads look up and smell the
coffee to help the UK back up to its feet.
It is not a
bad thing but Sharia law will have implications not just to the Muslim
community, but also to the entire population of the country. In every new law
there are trade-offs in loyalties. Immigrants are annoyed and experts criticize
the UK’s new immigration laws. The integration of Muslim laws, while it helps the
economy, could have non-Muslim males refuse inheritance to their wives.
