About Sharia law... from the article: "Rulings issued by a network of five sharia courts are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court."

I don't see anything about only applying "to minor civil disputes".

Personally I would be against the UK's inclusion of Sharia Law, as well as special laws for Jews as well.

But your original statement was: "Religous Laws has no place in Western Democracies,"

And I agree. Not the Sharia laws ...or the Jewish laws.

But would voting against such laws be discimatory? Would it be marginalizing Muslims? Jews?

Following your reasoning: I think it would be.

I understand this means speculating but... let me ask you again: "What if: If the UK had a referendum system like the Swiss of direct democracy... with referendums that could overturn Parliment decisions... I wonder how the Brits would vote on such a decision as the Swiss did. Any opinions?" (on what the outcome would be?)
