Sharia Law In Britain

Admittedly, I'm a little late weighing in on this one. The U.K. just approved the use of Sharia (Islamic) law in place of British law in civil matters (divorce etc...). Normally, I'm a little to the left of Fidel Castro but I'm not so sure about this one.

It could either be a stroke of genius or a disaster. It will either be a catalyst for assimilation, and defuse tensions, or be a crack in the door for hostile and alien forces. While I don't mind kosher or halal regulations on food, right now I'm inclined to believe that we should all be held accountable to the same laws.
