The truth about the rise of sharia law in Britain
Description
Among the claims Donald Trump made in his blistering UN speech was that Sadiq Khan is “terrible” and “they want to go to sharia law”.
The London mayor has called the comments “Islamophobic”, but are there legitimate concerns to be had about the "shadow system" of approximately 85 sharia courts operating in the UK?
Camilla and Tim speak to Fiyaz Mughal, founder of anti-Muslim monitoring project Tell MAMA, about how sharia courts work and why they can be harmful – not least to women.
Plus, ahead of a speech by Keir Starmer about “reclaiming the flag”, we ask what patriotism and flag-waving really mean in the UK today.
