We have had our law/legal system for centuries, it’s part of our heritage. Choose to live here, then abide by it, if you don’t like it…bail out, simple.

Religion has always had a strong say in law. Its BASED on natural law which was formed around religion and philosophy. Where do you think 'though shalt not kill' came from for instance? Certainly didn't come from a politician.
I dont know enough about Sharia law to give a solid opinion on this, but if it intergrating the ideas behind sharia law in a way that is acceptable in our culture then its a good idea, after all, its a much stricter discipline than our teachings yet it will not be able to over rule anything the EU law says so why not.
Since religion has become a less focal point of our lives it seems morals have also deteriorated, and as Shakermaker has said it will end up in tears like in France. Religion should always have a say in my opinion.
