Emmetts Solicitors: Enablers of Sharia in the UK

The Lancashire based firm Emmetts Solicitors evidently thinks that there is money to be made from promoting Sharia in the UK, hence its launch of what it bills as its ‘New Joint UK Civil and Sharia Family Law Service.’ Well readers, it is up to us to prove that rather than being a money-spinner, Sharia compliance will lose this firm our business. Any firm of solicitors that enables Sharia in our country should be boycotted. Do you want to ask why Emmetts Solicitors think that it is such as good idea to promote Sharia in the UK? Why not email them at info@emmetts-solicitors.co.uk

If you live in Lancashire and have formerly done business with, or are thinking of doing business with Emmetts Solicitors, it’s time for you to take your business elsewhere. This firm does not deserve to make a penny until it drops its Islamo-servile business model. What would the EDL make of this I wonder?

How about this as a new slogan for Emmetts: ‘Want to do business with a firm that is willing to treat women as second-class citizens? If so, Emmetts Solicitors is for you! After all, it takes the testimony of two women under Sharia to match that of one man.’

Maryam Namazie of the One Law for All Campaign has responded angrily to the news of Emmetts’s new business venture. She told that National Secular Society:

It is scandalous that lawyers meant to defend rights are now set on violating them by recognising and pandering to sharia law decisions on women.

Under Sharia, a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man's, men can unilaterally divorce by uttering a certain phrase thrice whilst it is often difficult for women to secure divorces. Marital rape is not considered a crime and violence against a disobedient wife a husband's prerogative. With regard to child custody – under UK civil law, the welfare of the child is paramount, whilst under sharia child custody goes to the father at a preset age irrespective of the child's welfare. Sharia law and UK civil law (however imperfect) are antithetical to each other so how can both be applied? In an ideal world, lawyers applying Sharia law would be disbarred. After all, the same would happen to doctors who hurt rather than helped their patients.

So readers, if Emmetts wish to transform themselves into a Muslim-only business, then they have made a very wise decision in embracing and enabling Sharia. Anyway, do watch its promotional video with its sub-trip hop cool ambient backing track, and visit the Emmetts Solicitors website. Seventh-century misogyny has never been so 'cool'! The law must remain secular. We must not allow Sharia to creep any further. Say no to Sharia. Say no to business with Emmetts.

Thoughtcrime in Gateshead: Qur’an Burning reveals Police enforcing Shariah Law in the UK

An astonishing series of arrests has taken place in Gateshead, with two arrests taking place on 15 September and four more on 22 September. The BBC reports that six men have been arrested and released on bail for videoing themselves burning copies of the Qur’an on 11 September, with the subsequent video being placed on the internet. To the best of my knowledge, the books that they burned were their property, and like all books did not possess a central nervous system and therefore felt no pain. The burning Qur’ans were not used to set light to anything else, so what crime, in heaven’s name, are these men supposed to have committed?

The police arrested them “on suspicion of inciting racial hatred”. How many more times do the fools who initiated these arrests need to be told that Islam is not a race? Would they have been arrested if they had burned copies of the ‘Communist Manifesto’, ‘The Wealth of Nations’ or ‘Mein Kampf’? I think not, for like any clod even ‘plod’ can recognise that Communism, free-market economics and Nazism are not races.

What this case illustrates is the corrosive impact of the embedding of ‘diversity training’ (sic) in police forces and councils across the country, part of New Labour’s poisonous legacy which has been taken up with verve by the successor ConDem Government. The statement in the following excerpt from the BBC report possesses all the hallmarks of the ‘diversity’ groupthink and anti-democratic inclinations and practices of Common Purpose:

In a joint statement, Northumbria Police and Gateshead Council said: "The kind of behaviour displayed in this video is not representative of our community as a whole.

"Our community is one of mutual respect and we continue to work together with community leaders, residents and people of all faiths and beliefs to maintain good community relations."

While the police are busying themselves prosecuting citizens for exercising their right of free expression, cases of burglary and violent crime go unsolved and people’s lives are made hell by anti-social elements. The police in the UK have been corrupted by political interference and can no longer be considered an agency that seeks to protect the public. It has been transformed into an agent of political repression, monitoring and prosecuting instances of ‘wrong’ thinking. We no longer live in a free society. We can but hope that if this case is taken to court it is thrown out by the jury. Here is the video:
