I've been making ridiculous, preposterous & utterly backward statements such as 'the most oppressed people in western society today are the average white English (and American) males.' I've seen it coming for a long time. Of course I'd be ridiculed for saying such things - by everyone (including most leftist average white males) & this article 'pretty much' proves me right.

What I found particularly worrying - if not insulting about the article was that there was no mention of the case having any connection with Islam until half way through reading. Just like that, the word Sharia was dropped in, very matter-of-factly as if to say "oh didn't you know? This is the law now."

You might be right....perhaps I'm just angry that the subject of sharia law was even mentioned.

Actually, I submit that ANY judgement against the husband would be proof that Sharia law was NOT an influence here.

What Sharia law I have researched gives practically no rights of grievance to the wife...the male holds all the cards. She has to comply to anything that he wants, and if she doesn't he can actually have the right to simply kill her.

I would love for someone schooled in Sharia law to chime in here!

When I said TMI I meant too much information. I can't believe someone would bring that to court. I can't believe Sharia law is being upheld in British court. I can't believe anyone would marry into that crap and expect anything other than crap. The whole thing reeks of stupid! Some people will anything for attention and what happened to shame and embarrassment?

That's the only way he says Muslim...stretches it out into two distinct (and derivative) syllables.

You can hear him on iheart radio, San Francisco station KSFO 560.

You mimic him perfectly!

I loved your "moose slim"...do you, by chance, listen to Michael Savage?

T M I!

If TMI means "too many idiots", then I agree!

Is birth control taboo in Sharia law?

Either party could have avoided all of this craziness....

I think this happened in GB.
what do slim moose have to do with anything?!
regardless of sharia law invading our courts-whether they are taxed to uphold it (bad) or rule against it (bad because things should just be crimes period) this sets a dangerous precedent. If your controlling husband cannot be trusted to be respectful then DIVORCE him. She should be convicted for being a dumb shit.

Too many infidels - according to some.

It crept in a while ago.... it's no longer "creeping"... it's stomping...with a hatchet. :(

I think this is evidence that Sharia law is now recognised within the British judicial system - which suck just a little bit. Creeping Islam yet again.

Off to studio.

That too! Who marries into this and expects respect? And who sues over this? NOTHING is sacred anymore and no one takes responsibility for their own participation or actions. I'm so tired. Oy vay! (another tmi = too many idiots.)

Too much Islam?
