There was a government report back, I think, 2018, and it said...
that these bodies operate as a parallel legal system and they subject tens of thousands of British women to medieval rules.
That was the understanding of the British government in 2018.
So over in the US, in Texas,
I looked at three different Sharia courts that are operating.
The Islamic Tribunal of Dallas, which is up there.
Northeast Dallas, up near Piano, where the huge epic city development is being pushed forward.
And it is, it now, I think it started 2014.
as a voluntary mediation service.
And these all start as voluntary.
But Steve, it is not voluntary for the women.
The women have no choice.
And in the UK, some of the courts, 90% of the cases are by women who are desperate and want to help in their marriages and are trapped.
And all they need is the man to say, I divorce you three times according to Islamic law.
And she is divorced.
She is thrown out.
And she is nothing because the man takes all.
He is the winner.
So you've got the Islamic Tribunal of Dallas that is now having 300 cases.
a year, starting in 2014, that's ramped up.
