If Theresa May wants Sharia law in the UK she shouldn't be allowed to run for PM

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

THERESA May sparked anger by claiming many Britons “benefit a great deal” from Sharia Law. ..

This is out of order and should not even be up for discussion. We have our own laws and should not be even thinking about bringing other countries laws into the UK especially degrading women and rights.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
