Apart from retaining the Communications Traffic Data on millions of innocent people (with plans for even more extensive snooping under the Communications Data Bill), and admitting to the electronic bugging of Member of Parliament Sadiq Khan (now a junior Government...

A Labour Muslim minister has warned that Islamic law is too unsophisticated for Britain. Sadiq Khan said women could be ' abused' by sharia courts, which may give unequal bargaining power to the sexes. He said: 'The burden is on those who want to open up these courts to persuade us why they should.' Mr Khan, who was made a community cohesion minister in this month's Government reshuffle, rejected the...
"Sadiq Khan, whose comments will have added impact because he is a Muslim himself, has also warned that the growing number of tribunals based on Islamic codes could entrench discrimination against women." Uh, yeah. Gordon Brown's new minister for race relations has attacked sharia courts, insisting that the Muslim community in Britain is not “advanced” enough to have its own legal system. Sadiq Khan,...

Earlier this week, Labour MP Sadiq Khan called for a Single Equality Act to force public bodies to proactively promote religious equality and to tackle 'Islamophobia in the Workplace'. Apparently, the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003 don't go...
Christian Institute says,'Sadiq Khan MP wants new laws to force public bodies to promote equality between different religions, so that Muslims won’t be treated as ’second-class citizens’. However, there is concern that such laws may give public bodies an excuse to withdraw from any involvement with religion – particularly the Christian faith. For example, in the news today, a college in Yorkshire has...
I've always found it faintly ridiculous when MPs from one party criticise other parties for failing to select enough candidates from one section or other of society. Does logic not dictate that someone from X party wants as few candidates from Y party to get elected in any case? Why can't they be content to let other parties select who they want and allow them to suffer the consequences, if there...

The Honourable Member for Tooting Sadiq Khan has got it right on this one. In a much commented on Comment is Free piece he makes a powerful case for UK Muslims concentrating on becoming mainstream members of society by learning English (among other things) rather than adopting a bunker mentality where they care more about [...]
Sadiq Khan MP has called for the upcoming Equalities Bill to have a clause so it covers discrimination on the basis of religion, in a Fabian Society article. For some bizarre reason, John Hirst thinks he’s calling for Sharia law, and LFaT reckons that somehow white people will lose out. The second blog response is even more [...]
