Christian Newswire and Christian Today report Christian groups are warning the British Government it “will be capitulating to Islamic religious law if they change the current financial regulations to accommodate Shari’ah Finance and issue sukuk bonds,” as is being proposed. 

The groups — Christian Concern for our Nation and the Christian Legal Centre — warn adopting Shari’ah law would radically change the fundamentals of British freedoms. Andrea Minichiello Williams, Barrister and Director of the two organizations says:

“…The authority given to Shari’ah scholars by financial institutions and the plans announced by the Authorities to appoint such clerics to advise them shows just how far adrift we have sailed as a nation from tolerance, via multiculturalism to accommodation and soon to subjugation.”
