- Palestinians
and their families are being financially rewarded by the West for
taking part in terror attacks against Jews. It does not take a brain
surgeon to figure out that this promotes terrorism.
- Palestinian
terrorists released from prison have far higher chances of getting a
job with the Palestinian Authority (PA) government than people who
went to university, because by carrying out an attack against Jews
they become heroes, entitled to a superior job and salary.
- The more time
you spend in an Israeli prison, the more prestigious the job you
will receive. Graduating from an Israeli prison is better than
graduating from an Ivy League university.
- These people
have not been imprisoned for running a red light. Most of them are
behind bars because they have masterminded suicide bombings and
other terror attacks that have killed and maimed hundreds of
innocent civilians during the past few decades.
- So, when you
hear that it is the PLO, not the PA, that pays the terrorists'
salaries, you might want to mention that this statement is a sleight
of hand designed to dupe unsuspecting and well-intentioned American
and European donors.
- It is time to
tell Abbas and his associates, in terms that they understand, that
the West will no longer fund terrorists. This message, above all
others, will discourage terrorism -- and perhaps even encourage
peace.

woman and wounding others in an attack near Bethlehem. He is pictured

Killing Jews has become a profitable business. Palestinians who
think of launching a terror attack against Jews can rest assured that
their well-being and that of their family will be guaranteed while they
are in Israeli prison. Here is how it works:
The Western-funded Palestinian Authority (PA) government, through
its various institutions, provides a monthly salary and different
financial benefits to jailed Palestinian terrorists and their families.
Upon their release, they will continue to receive financial aid, and are
given top priority when it comes to employment in the public sector.
Their chances of getting a job with the PA government are higher than
those who went to university, because by carrying out an attack against
Jews they become heroes, entitled to a superior job and salary.

- A report by
Machteld Zee, a Dutch Academic raised the issue that sharia councils
"frustrate women in their requests [for divorce], especially if
the husband is unwilling to co-operate," and she also suggested
that women are treated as "second-class citizens."
- Sharia
councils, however, can demand that the parties involved in a dispute
sign contracts beforehand, demanding that women agree to the
results of the arbitration. To force a woman, who has been denied
rights to any legal representation, to agree to an illegal or
wrongful contract before trial, is a travesty that the British
justice system cannot allow to continue.
- As Dr Taj
Hargey, Imam of the Oxford Islamic Congregation argues, "Sharia
is not divine law, it is just medieval opinion."
- Is Britain
really agreeing to allow women to be sentenced in England, then to
be stoned to death elsewhere?
- This ruling
actually reveals to the husband the process required to have his
wife stoned to death. It arguably even encouraging men to have their
wives taken abroad and have them murdered. The court has therefore
condemned someone to murder solely the words of her husband without
allowing her a chance to speak.
- How can these
groups that not only fail to protect the rights of women but
actually undermine them, be considered charitable
organisations, funded by British taxpayers?
Haitham al-Haddad is a British shari'a council judge,
and sits on the board of advisors for the Islamic Sharia Council.
Regarding the handling of domestic violence cases, he stated in an
interview, "A man should not be questioned why he hit his wife,
because this is something between them. Leave them alone. They can sort
their matters among themselves." (Image source: Channel 4 News video

It is considered a fundamental principle in liberal democracies that
individuals should have equality under the law, with equal access to
justice, despite race, gender, or religious belief and that the same laws
of a single legal system should apply equally to everyone.
To have two simultaneously functioning rules of law, applied on
differing judicial bases, would create a challenge of which precedents to
follow, or why individuals from different groups should be treated
differently. How long before people form one group would claim to be from
a different group to be exempt from the first group's laws? Such a system
invites abuse.
Dealing with minorities by differing legal systems rather than
creating a more pluralist utopia simply leads to a divided society in
which minorities and majorities have justified mutual distrust.
Sadly, these principles which have sculpted a strong judicial system
in the United Kingdom for so long are now facing a significant threat.
