Can someone please tell her that shariah courts rulings in England are legally binding now. The HeraldA Muslim mother who fears having her child taken from her under Sharia law if sent back to her homeland can remain in the UK, the House of Lords decided yesterday.
....
Five law lords ruled the human rights of the Lebanese woman, EM, and her 12-year-old son, AF, who cannot be named for legal reasons, would be "flagrantly violated" and "nullified" if forced to return to Lebanon.
Under Sharia law, her "violent" ex-husband would automatically be granted full custody rights.The 36-year-old Muslim claimed asylum in the UK in December 2004, saying she had divorced her husband because of his violence and fled from Lebanon in order to keep her child.
Yesterday she successfully challenged a Court of Appeal ruling that upheld the Home Secretary's decision refusing asylum.
Her case was backed by campaign groups Justice and Liberty. After the decision, Liberty's legal director James Welch, said: "How can the government speak of equal treatment in one breath and seek to deport mother and child to face separation under Sharia law in another? The law lords have rightly upheld basic protections which must be available to us all."

All that that means is if a Mulim has a case heard in a shariah court it is legal it does not mean that sharia law afects the english laws or law if a case takes place in Enlish law courts Shariah law does not count only cases that a muslim takes to a shariah court.
