Aired: October 01, 2007 on BBC 2. Documentary by award-winning
filmmaker Ruhi Hamid. Some British Muslims want Shari'ah law
implemented in the UK. Already practiced informally here to resolve
Islamic divorce, inheritance and family disputes, it is seen by many in
the West as oppressive and brutal, with punishments like stoning and
amputations. Ruhi Hamid, a British Muslim, travels to Nigeria to see
Shari'ah law in action, and asks whether it could work alongside the
UK's existing legal system.
