Hard to believe when stuff like Sharia Zones are a thing.
- DanBC 10y agoThey aren't a thing. Some sharia "courts" operate in the UK, as do Beth Din and Ecclesiastical Courts. They're mostly for mediation and actual courts feel free to ignore them. They've all been involved in pretty severe human rights abuses. Christian courts moved abusing priests around the country rather than reporting them to the police; Christian courts did little to prevent the sexual, physical and emotional abuse of children by nuns. Beth Din are currently involved in not giving Jewish women "Gets" - a religious divorce that can only be provided by the husband. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/scandal-of-women-trapped-in-marriages-by-jewish-courts-1765888.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/scandal-of-wo... Sharia Zones, as talked about by US media, don't exist.
