Increasing numbers of non-Muslims are turning to Sharia courts to resolve commercial disputes and other civil matters, The Times has learnt.
The Muslim Arbitration Tribunal (MAT) said that 5 per cent of its cases involved non-Muslims who were using the courts because they were less cumbersome and more informal than the English legal system.
Freed Chedie, a spokesman for Sheikh Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siqqiqi, a barrister who set up the tribunal, said: “We put weight on oral agreements, whereas the British courts do not.”
In a case last month a non-Muslim Briton took his Muslim business partner to the tribunal to sort out a dispute over the profits in their car fleet company. “The non-Muslim claimed that there had been an oral agreement between the pair,” said Mr Chedie. “The tribunal found that because of certain things the Muslim man did, that agreement had existed. The non-Muslim was awarded £48,000.”
He said that the tribunal had adjudicated on at least 20 cases involving non-Muslims so far this year. The rulings of the tribunal are legally binding, provided that both parties agree to that condition at the beginning of any hearing.

What is so special about it huh nothing just like th e other so-called Special Books out there.
To me personally or generally?
Depends on whether you personally hold the other books special.
The torah and Bible are special in the sense that they are abrahamic but little more after that
Your not getting it all of them have nothing special all they are is just books that is all just like a Romance Novel or Porn Mag nothing more nothing less.
Ofc they are all books.
But some people hold them as special and important to them.
I have a very prized and treasured collection of shakespeare, Austin and Bronte
So why should a Religous Special Book be used for any form of Law then.
