What we need is another law. murder, 2nd degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter and more are not enough! Like a lousy Greek restaurant throw another special on the menu.

I don’t know, it’s from the UK Telegraph which seems like a legit news site...I wouldn’t doubt it though, England allows Sharia courts to exist which is as insane as it gets, so why not this?
Look at this, just utter madness..”Sharia law to be enshrined in British legal system”...
