Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Sharia Law has no place in the UK, yet there are many people practicing it and even Sharia Law Courts set up in the UK. This petition calls for Sharia Law to be banned in the UK and anyone found to be practicing it to receive a lengthy prison sentence.
