I have been warning for quite some time that Sharia was coming to the United Kingdom, given its hospitality to Sharia finance, galloping eagerness to accommodate Islamic supremacists in all areas, unwillingness to defend its girls from Muslim rape gangs for fear of being accused of “racism,” and desire to implement Sharia blasphemy laws by silencing all criticism of Islamic jihad terror.
