Can Islamic religious sharia law override a country’s domestic law in Europe? That’s a question the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights is weighing.
The Court heard a case this week that involves applying sharia law to a disagreement between citizens of Greece who are Muslims.
Christian Concern, a non-profit organization based in London, intervened in the case “because of the importance of the case in European law and its implications for countries across Europe, including the UK,” according to a news release from the organization.
