Here come the victims...
A Labour MP has said a long-awaited government inquiry into Britain’s sharia courts is ‘Islamophobic’ and should be dropped, proposing the religious legal system should be offered state ‘support’.
Speaking ahead of Tuesday’s launch of the Home Affairs Select Committee inquiry Naz Shah, who will give evidence, argued the courts were “complimentary” to British law and were simply “under-resourced”. She also claimed members of the Muslim community had said they thought the inquiry was “Islamophobic and racist”. The MP’s intervention comes as more than 100 Muslim women, lead by the Muslim Women’s Network UK, called for the inquiry to be shut down, arguing it would treat women like “political footballs”.
“What we need to be doing is supporting the Sharia councils. Sharia councils sometimes are last resorts, where people have lost legal aid, we’ve had austerity kicking in and the courts don’t want to deal with small disputes. “So they [Sharia courts] can act as a complimentary arbitration service but what we need to be careful of is that whether they are discriminating against women and that is where the issue lies.” The MP conceded that British law should take precedence over any Sharia rulings and admitted the courts could be used to “oppress” women.

Could this be the same Naz Shah who....
apologised in April for online posts, including one suggesting Israel should be moved to the United States? Labour has now reinstated the Bradford West MP, who in her first interview about the controversy blamed her "ignorance". "I wasn't anti-Semitic, what I put out was anti-Semitic," Ms Shah told BBC Radio 4's World At One.

Another Islamist in our midst who takes us for fools.
