In Europe, there has been a growing acceptance of Sharia, the holy law of Islam, which is being applied in European law courts when the parties are Muslim. More on this increasing imposition of Sharia can be found here: “Sharia has arrived in Europe: a new millet system,” by Giulio Meotti, Israel National News, August 24, 2025:
A Vienna court has ruled that a Sharia-based ruling is legally valid in Austria.
The case began when two Muslim men agreed that their dispute would be resolved by an Islamic arbitration panel. When a disagreement arose, the court ordered one of them to pay €320,000. The man refused, arguing that Sharia law is open to different interpretations and violates Austria’s fundamental values.
But the Vienna court rejected the appeal and ruled that Austrian law allows arbitration systems for private disputes, as long as the outcome does not violate Austria’s “fundamental legal values”. Essentially, parties can choose to be bound by 7th-century rules, as long as the final outcome does not violate Austrian law. (Note that historically, in countries where Jewish courts were and are allowed to hear litigation and pronounce verdicts, that was only if the verdicts did not contradict the country’s laws or they are wholly religious issues.)
Even though the Vienna ruling concerns economic cases, Muslims interpret it as yet another victory over the West, and rightly so.
The Vienna court insisted that the original agreement between the parties — two Muslim men — to be ruled by Sharia, could not be undone by one of the parties who was going to lose the case according to the Sharia, and suddenly insisted that applying the Sharia in this case would undermine the rule of Austrian law. Having initially agreed to the use of Sharia law, an Austrian court ruled that neither party could back out. It was an amazing spectacle: an Austrian court upholding the use of Sharia law in Austria.
And as the European Court of Human Rights has ruled, the attack on Islam falls outside the scope of free speech, convicting a Viennese woman who called Muhammad a pedophile because of his marriage to Aisha.
Verbal attacks on Islam, according to the European Court of Human Rights, are not protected as free speech. An Austrian woman, Elizabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, who only stated a simple truth — that Aisha had been betrothed to Muhammad when she was six, and Muhammad “consummated” his marriage to her (that is, had sexual intercourse with her) when she was nine years old, and that in her view this constituted pedophilia, was for stating her opinion convicted of injuring the religious feelings of others, and given a fine of 480 euros. When she appealed the decision on the grounds that she was only exercising her right of free speech, the court rejected her argument, claiming that the right of free speech did not include the right to injure the religious feelings of others. Muslims had managed to impose on Europeans the laws against blasphemy that were enshrined in the Sharia.
The renowned English philosopher John Gray warns in the New Statesman that “in a generation or so, if current trends persist, Europe will have an Ottoman-style millet system in which different religious communities are governed by their own laws. A Europe with equal freedom for every religion, under a rule of law that applies to all, will soon be a distant memory.”
This is the profound significance of European courts endorsing Sharia law.
In England, dozens of “sharia councils” have existed for years, and even a Muslim Arbitration Tribunal officially recognized by the Arbitration Act of 1996, which allows civil disputes to be resolved based on Islamic law. The result has been the proliferation of a parallel Islamic justice system with one hundred courts.
Sharia law is used by German judges to rule on domestic conflicts….
But what happens when only one of the litigants is Muslim? Will the Sharia law then be applied in Germany to cases of family law in matters of divorce, inheritance, adoption? Setting up a parallel legal system — Sharia — to the Western legal framework will result in mass confusion as to which law will be applied, and when. Two legal systems are one too many.
Europe cannot tolerate a parallel legal system, the Sharia, to be applied when the litigants are Muslim. The Muslim migrants who now live in Europe, under a legal system very different from the Sharia, must be held to have agreed, as part of the unstated bargain that allows them to live in Europe, to be governed by that legal system instead of the Sharia. If this is something they cannot do, then they are free to leave — indeed, should be encouraged to leave, to return back to their Muslim countries of origin and the Sharia to which they are so attached.
Tell them to keep their Sharia Laws to themselves and their Stoneage ways we don’t want any Sharia Laws forced upon us and t hats why we oppose Open Borders
I agree that the mass importation of Muslims is dangerous, and while I generally like the content on Arutz 7, but I can’t see that the particular case cited here can have any bearing on a supposed millet system emerging in Europe.
In labor disputes, for example, it is normal in many countries for the contending parties to submit to an arbitration panel that is not part of the state judicial system. The two parties enter into a contractual agreement to abide by the arbitrator’s decision, and if one party reneges, then the other party is entitled to petition the state to uphold the contractual agreement.
It is not clear how the Austrian court could have found differently, given this legal situation where other non-state arbitration panels are concerned. There would have to be new legislation for what the author wants: either
1. a refusal to recognize any non-state arbitration body, which would be a major curtailment of freedom in favor of state power, or
2. a special refusal to recognize Sharia arbitration while still allowing other non-state arbitration processes.
Option 2. would probably be possible in Japan, where there are several stringent laws against any establisment of Islamic institutions in the country, but in Europe, the obvious inconsistency would probably lead to the legislation being thrown out after legal challenges.
Now if one party to a Sharia-adjudicated dispute could prove in the state judicial system that he was under duress when he submitted to the Sharia court, that would change the legal complexion of the case entirely, but in the present instance, the party who reneged isn’t claiming that.
There would also (at present) be restrictions on Sharia-court decisions where they conflict with the law of the state – Sharia courts in Europe are not, for example, allowed to impose corporal punishment, such as flagellation, severing of hands, stoning or beheading. Again, that is on an entirely different legal footing from the case described in this article.
In this country the Constitution is the law of the land. Has been for 250 years.
The attempted imposition of this Sharia B.S. is just another attempt at Islamic supremacy, which should be rejected out of hand.
There are already some Islamic courts in cities like Minneapolis, Dearborn and Hamtramk and the non muslims in those towns are blithely accepting it.
They are fools.
Not only should those who are unwilling to accept Western laws be encouraged to return to their homelands, they should be escorted there and prevented from returning to the West.
Excuse me if this has been said before:
Isn’t “Islamic justice” an oxymoron?
100% correct. Islamic Justice is totally Satanic, Satan is a Hebrew word meaning;
ADVERSARY/OPPOSER/ACCUSER.
Western countries are based on Judo/Christian laws, values & ethics.

How long before the entire EU is islam or at WAR? There are still some SANE people in those Nations who see the cancers that are growing and may just decide to put a halt on it’s progress! We can only hope so! One thing for sure, the transformation is well under way and there’s only ONE way to stop it! It might behoove those Gov’ts to raid a few of those “houses of worship” and confiscate any weapons stored there – probably a few “letter openers” that could be used nefariously!
Those Sharia courts that now have jurisdiction in many of the countries of Europe is a tragic example of how the Muslims, who are also stealth jihadists have infiltrated the European governments. This stealth jihad penetration into the European legal and governmental systems is had done gradually. As in inch by inch, step by steps. Therefore, the Islamic influence those Western nations had been. Slowly and steadily diabolically effective.
In some ways, this is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads, “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to oppose you.”
Those Sharia courts that have set up in many of the nations of Europe is, in reality, nothing less than the establishment ancient pagan law that has now infected many European governmental legal systems.
For it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia. It had been revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995 ” For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” . page 150.
Therefore Sharia is of pagan origin and therefore has no value or worth. Europe doesn’t need to have that ancient pagan junk adding to its problems.
Austria in inviting problems and they will get what they deserve.
Austria surges in the European Islamopandering derby.
So are those Men or Women under their hoods?
Depends what you are up too, i.e. shoplifting or suicide vest.
