No western nation allowed Sharia to be used in full as of today.Canada is widely reported to have come close leading to protests in 2005. The main reason is the fact that Sharia differs in one very important and significant way to the legal traditions of the western world.
Currently there are two important areas where British law has incorporated religious legal considerations. British food regulations allow meat to be slaughtered according to Jewish and Islamic practices. Secondly, the treasury has approved Sharia-compliant financial products such as mortgages and investments.
My personal view on this issue is that the principles of sharia law could play a role in some parts of the legal system; but,how does the sharia system work and fit into the entire society in the UK? All the citzens of the UK should adhere to the existing law rather than enforcing islam's legal systems in particular.
