Sharia courts in the UK

I'd be so much happier it we could get some sort of consensus on these sorts of things, some people complain that the government interfere too much, others that they don't do enough.

Anyway, back to the point. It's arbitration, if people want to submit themselves to the authority of Ronald McDonald and his court of cheeseburgers where all fees are levied in Big Macs then that is up to them; I'll probably think them stupid but if that's the worst accusation I can level at them then it isn't enough for me to try and stop them.

Stating what I think of something is very different to saying that someone can't do something (or forcing their compliance more to the point) just because I disagree with it.
