Labour MP Naz Shah on Sharia law and it's role within Britain

MPs from the Home Affairs Select Committee start their inquiry into Sharia Councils today after more than 100 Muslim women complained about their treatment under two government probes into Sharia law.

The 麻豆社 religious affairs correspondent Martin Bashir speaks with a woman currently seeking Sharia approval for divorce. Labour MP Naz Shah told the Today programme that Sharia law is a complimentary "code of conduct" but there is only one rule of law, that of the British courts. She shares concerns that Sharia councils can be "run for men".
