Sharia, we don't like it; Rock the kasbah! Rock the kasbah!

sorry, a bit of a bad rip off on the lyrics to an 80's pop song...

In an old testament eye for an eye sort of way I can understand this... but it's just another level illustrating the brutality and barberism of certain beliefs- as far as I can see they've swapped the terror of feuding warlords for something as equally gross: Sharia Law. It's horses for courses I know; Somalia ain't the UK, but tbh if that's the case, looong may it remain so. This also brings into question (for me at any rate) the attitude of those who live under such rule when they move to the UK, for whatever reason; such a fundamental divide between law has to be an issue for some when trying to reconcile integration into another culture with such differing and open western values.
