The first half of an article from MEMRI gives a most articulate outline of what it would be like to implement Muslim Law into the English Law system, which we copied from Colonial times. It also helps us to realize what we are contending with in our struggle against Islamic Jihad from a legal prospective.
It might also assist us in understanding how the one installing the Sharia Law would be designated as a leader who would change the times and type of worship, as well as the government laws Israel and the West call separation of state – Sound familiar?
Daniel 7:24,25 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Fortunately, he won’t have much time to put all this into effect, because after some three and one half years of trying to put it into effect, the Son of God will destroy him and his kingdom, and the saints that return with him at his Second Advent will receive Him and his Kingdom.
Daniel 7:26,27 – But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
[27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
Daniel 7:13,14 – I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. [14] And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Zechariah 14:8,9 – And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
Acts 4:12 – Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 2:19-21 – And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Libyan Liberal Muhammad Al-Houni on Statements by Archbishop of Canterbury: If Europe Adopts Shari’a, It Will Revert to Pre-Enlightenment Era
In a February 26, 2008 article in the Arab liberal e-journal Elaph, Libyan-European liberal thinker and entrepreneur Muhammad ‘ Abd Al-Muttalib Al-Houni wrote that the recent statements by Archbishop of Canterbury Dr.
Rowan Williams on implementing shari’a law in Britain constituted dangerous encouragement to fundamentalists in their war against the Enlightenment. He added that such statements could have very grave repercussions for the struggle for freedom in Muslim countries as well.
The following are excerpts from Al-Houni’s article:
Would Europe Have Islamic Courts, or Would We Send European Judges to the Taliban to Learn Shari’a?
“I recently read a statement by the head of the Anglican Church [Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams], the upshot of which was that there was nothing wrong with the British legal system adopting some laws from Islamic shari’a and their implementing them for British citizens of the Islamic faith.
“There has already been a great clamor [and argument] between supporters and opponents of these statements, so I thought that I, as a Muslim citizen of Europe, would take up this thorny subject and attempt to understand this statement and its implications.
[I do this] in order to shed light on what would happen in Europe if its countries were to adopt the kinds of measures that the English archbishop is demanding.
“I do not think that this demand that some laws from Islamic shari’a be adopted into European law is [meant] to include shari’a criminal law – that is, punishments such as killing the apostate (a Muslim who converts to another religion), amputating a thief’s hand, cutting off a brigand’s opposing hand and foot… stoning the adulterer to death, publicly flogging wine drinkers, killing homosexuals by throwing them from a high place, or allowing a relative of a [murder] victim to deal with the murderer, instead of the state.
“I imagine that the archbishop is referring [only] to Islamic shari’a laws regarding personal status. So let us imagine these laws being implemented in European courts.
“First of all, on the procedural side, there would need to be Islamic courts in European countries to adjudicate in all disputes involving European Muslim citizens – or else a large number of European judges would have to be sent to the Taliban to learn shari’a thoroughly enough to implement its laws.
“Also, European countries seeking to implement shari’a would need to submit their reservations regarding any international conventions they may have signed.
This is because they will have to:
“1) Permit polygamy for European Muslim citizens, and not punish them for it – [even though] this is considered criminal under European law;
“2) Permit European Muslim citizens to beat their wives to discipline them, as the Koran urges;
“3) Allow men to unilaterally decide to divorce without requiring any court proceedings, as this is a right guaranteed [to men] by shari’a;
“4) Give daughters [only] half the inheritance rights that sons have, while widows receive only an eighth of the inheritance;
“5) [Not] consider women’s testimony the equal of men’s in shari’a courts;
“6) Deprive a divorced woman of custody of her children if she remarries;
“7) Allow European Muslim citizens to marry in traditional marriages without the need to officially register these marriages;
“8) Eliminate adoption, since it is contrary to shari’a;
“9) Force a woman whose Muslim husband converts to another religion to divorce him, because he is an apostate;
“10) Prevent European Muslim women from marrying non-Muslims…”
Adopting Shari’a Would Undermine the Concept of Citizenship
“If [Archbishop Rowan’s] intention is to introduce some or all of these laws from Islamic shari’a into Europe’s legal systems, it would mean the following:
“1) The concept of citizenship in Europe will change. There will be [different] classes of citizenship and of citizens, with some citizens being exempt from having the general law applied to them because they belong to a particular religion or belief.
There will be a Muslim [class of] citizen, a Christian [class of] citizen, a Buddhist [class of] citizen, a Confucian [class of] citizen, and so on. Each will apply his own laws… Thus, faith will not be an individual freedom or belief; it will [come to] have extremely serious public ramifications.
“2) If some or all of these laws were implemented and recognized by European legislative bodies, it would not only seriously damage human rights legislation – it would spell the end [of this legislation]. This is because everything I mentioned above is a negation of human rights principles.
“3) Recognizing all, or [even] some, of these laws would take European societies back to the age before the Enlightenment and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As a result, the West would revert to barbarism.”
