Why have a discussion about the rule of law without mentioning sharia law at all? #catoevents @anjemchoudary @AbdulWahidHT @hizbuttahrir

The idea of listing promises you have no intention of keeping is now called the election manifesto. #MagnaCarta #catoevents

The idea of listing promises you have no intention of keeping is surely not uniquely English. #magnacarta #catoevents

I wd define the rule of law as government having a system of law and recognisably following it. #catoevents @anjemchoudary @AbdulWahidHT

What is the point of having rule of law? So we can have legal stability and know what our rights are. #catoevents #magnacarta

The 12 Tablets of Rome preceded #MagnaCarta, which was the Roman rule of law for the Romans. It was the plebs who asked for it. #catoevents

Someone tried to introduce the concept of divine/natural law into the debate about rule of law, but was given the brush-off. #catoevents

Obviously, different countries have different rules of law, having different laws and different legal systems. #magnacarta #catoevents

#MagnaCarta discussion shd be about WHOSE rule of law gives MOST justice, rather than why Western rule of law is best of all. #catoevents

Is this so-called discussion really about *bashing* Russia than a real discussion about the rule of law? #catoevents #MagnaCarta
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 4, 2015
There are really only two kinds of law: natural/divine/natural law and legal positivism. http://t.co/kAPiYRRvUY #catoevents #magnacarta

Find out if legal system is delivering justice by asking litigants/accused/victims of crime to give marks out of 10. #catoevents #MagnaCarta
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 4, 2015
It would have been more useful for #catoevents to discuss whether natural/divine law better than legal positivism. http://t.co/cw6AeRa6Sk

How can a discussion about the rule of law *around the world* not mention Sharia Law? Was omission deliberate or negligent? #catoevents
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 4, 2015
10 Commandments preceded 12 Tablets of Rome which preceded #MagnaCarta. The Koran was not mentioned at all at #catoevents #Chauvinism?

@CatoEvents I heard you bashing China and Russia. Did you bash Sharia law as well or did you just forget about it completely? #RuleofLaw
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 4, 2015
Apart from delivering justice, the other purpose of the rule of law is to promote the health and longevity of your civilisation. #catoevents
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 4, 2015
What is the main difference between divine/natural law and legal positivism as regards rule of law? #catoevents #MagnaCarta
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 4, 2015
Whatever u think of divine/natural/sharia law and legal positivism, the main difference is the former does not change while the latter does.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 4, 2015
Divine/natural/sharia law does not change (cos God wd get it right) but man-made law does (cos libtards keep getting it wrong). #catoevents
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 4, 2015
Is common law derived from sharia law?
If so then it is the same system though of course libtard laws and God's laws would be antithetically different. If the system is fine but the content is bilge, then the solution is simple: change the content.
It is indeed ridiculous given (according to Professor John A Makdisi) that the Common Law - which was the heart of Magna Carta - derived at least in a significant part from the Islamic Law of the Maliki rite as practised in Islamic Spain and Sicily.
