Civitas report

PA/Guardian, 85 sharia courts in UK, says report, 29 Jun 09 "There are as many as 85 sharia courts operating in Britain, according to a new report.

"Academic Denis MacEoin, the report's author, said the existence of the courts practising Islamic law could lead to different legal standards being applied to Muslim and non-Muslim citizens."

Report details: Denis MacEoin, Sharia Law or One Law For All (Civitas, 2009). There is a charge for this think-tank report (haven't read it yet).
