Judge Calls for Sharia to be Integrated into Norway's National Judicial System

The initiative of the head of the Association of Norwegian Tribunals Tur Landback has provoked controversy in the kingdom of Norway, provoking a polemic throughout Europe. Landback proposes integrating sharia tribunals into the national judicial system. Jurists from local Islamic communities reacted quickly by supporting the initiative. However, Norwegians are rather perplexed regarding the introduction of these Islamic rules into their judicial system.

..."In proposing to legalise sharia tribunals in Norway, Landback in basing his position on social reality. Norwegian laws regarding immigrants are very liberal", analyses Youri Deriabine, director of the Centre for Northern Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Not all experts are as tolerant faced with the profanation of the "civilised" norms of European justice and the destruction of the system of traditional values.

The director of the Centre for Political Economy Serguei Mikheev is very critical of the initiative. "We are living through Europe's cultural suicide. In this context, why not adopt sharia? At the same time, it creates the conditions for new Breiviks", he declares.
