What is legal by British law does not matter to Sharia. Just like Mormons with multiple wives. It is illegal, or not legal, by federal and state laws, but that does that stop Mormons from having multiple wives and grooming children for marriage? No.

"The council has no legal authority in the UK and cannot enforce any penalties; "
Muslims follow their religious leaders like Christians follow their church ministers. Neither have legal powers.

I heard of Sharia Law being legally imposed or accepted by British authorities…
Claiming Muslims follow their religious laws even when illegal is completely different from your original claim that Sharia law is being legally imposed by British authorities.

I didn’t say by British authorities. What is your definition of British authorities? The British Imams? Well, they are British and they are authority figures. Prove me wrong.

You claimed, “legally imposed”. Muslim religious leaders have no legal authority as your own link proved.

You say that, but honor killings keep happening.

Yes a religious group condoned murder. The OP claimed it is legal. “Sharia Law is being legally imposed.” Is a lie.
And I’m not fooled by the “I heard” he added to the front of his statement to attempt to dodge personal responsibility for promoting the lie.
The murders are investigated, and those responsible are found guilty and jailed.
