Sharia laws are being applied in secret in Muslim communities across the United Kingdom in clear defiance of the country's legal system, the Daily Express reports.
According to the paper, Islamic scholars sit in mosques, converted living rooms and even a former pub to issue fatwas, or rulings, and adds that they have decided thousands of cases over the last 25 years.
This fresh development assumes significance in the wake of the condemnation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, statement calling for an “accommodation” of some Islamic legal codes within the British legal system.
