Celebrity Lives: Shariah Style
March 10, 2009 at 9:15 pm | In Children, Discursive, Family, Future, Gender Issues, Islam, Media, Men, Non-Muslim, Patriarchy, Society, Television, Women | 3 CommentsAjmal looks at how shariah would deal with issues such as divorce, marriage and settlements and inheritance using the example of celebrities such as Paul McCartney & Heather Mills, Madonna and Guy Ritchie. Ajmal draws comparisons between British law and Shariah law. Some of the comparisons being surprising, and some not so surprising.
You can view the programme at BBC iPlayer
Ajmal recognises civil disputes to be real issues, and for those who have been participating in my blog discussions on these topics such as divorce and inheritance up til date will know I wholly agree. I am glad Ajmal agree’s too.

I’ve seen it a few days a go on the BBC, I thought they were vry clever picking out all the positive aspects in Sharia law, while we all know sharia can and is being used very differently in many cases.
