	I'm still baffled as to what this proposed legislation even contemplates.  You can't "practice" a law in the absence of legislation bringing that law into existence, so is the idea that the legislature would pass a law forbidding itself to pass Sharia-based laws?  If so, that curtailing of the legislature's own power would seem to require a constitutional amendment.</div></blockquote>

	I don't believe the UK "passed" Sharia based laws, but do allow Sharia courts to operate while deeming their decisions binding by UK law under the "Arbitration Act". <br />

	If this is incorrect please set me straight.<br />
