Losing Europe To Islam

Sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. According to press reports this week, the British government has quietly, cravenly elevated five Sharia courts to the level of tribunal hearings, thus making their rulings legally binding.

It may be difficult to quantify the impact of a Voltaire vacuum on the continent, but we can instantly see the inequities of British Sharia (I can't believe I'm writing that phrase). Among the first official verdicts were those upholding the Islamic belief in male supremacy. These included an inheritance decision in which male heirs received twice as much as female; and several cases of domestic violence in which husbands were acquitted and wives' charges were dropped.

In a decidedly minuscule minority, I say we ignore the spread of Islamic law across Europe, from the schoolroom to the courtroom, at our peril, particularly given that in so doing, we also ignore the vital political parties that have arisen in reaction to this threat to Western civilization. Why at our peril? Because the same type of liberty-shrinking, Sharia-driven accommodation is happening here.

Commentary

The jihadis in Europe have taken a page from the lefties and their decades-long march through our institutions. There is still hope for Europe to climb out of the pit, but every day wasted in addressing the problem of Creeping Sharia is a day closer to the destruction of Europe as a contributor to Western Civilization. Every day wasted is a day it will take ever more violent means to ressue Europe from destruction again. If we act within the next decade, that will be the fourth time in a century we will have had to save Europe.
