That is pretty damnably appalling by anyones standards.
However, withing the article itself contains what I thought was the way forward and I quote: "Fortunately not every Muslim nation is this bad, but that's in part because Shariah is not a single set of laws. Not only are there different legal schools in Islam, but different countries incorporate different local traditions. This is a major problem with Rowan Williams' suggestion that Britain introduce Shariah into British courts. Which Shariah? From which country? Privileging any one form of Shariah over all others would be an illegitimate move by the British government."
Not if the form of Sharia law is specifically 'British', and in accordance with the rest of our laws, and the principles therein.
I tend to think about the art of the possible, and also the possibility of the reconciliation of differences with honour and justice. However truth, honour, and justice come first: cultural things after, and forever that first trinity's subordinate.
