President Trump was on a roll in his 1-hour long lecture to the UN. Greta Thunberg would have been proud of him.

According to Sky News, Trump had this to say:

"And I have to say, I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it's been so changed, so changed," he says, while criticising immigration in Europe.

"Now they want to go to Sharia Law, but you're in a different country. You can't do that.

"Both the immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe, if something is not done immediately."

It's not clear [to Sky News anyway] why Trump raised Sharia Law - which is Islam's legal system - but there is no evidence of it being administered as a policy in London.

So it's worth being reminded of what the government inquiry titled The independent review into the application of sharia law in England and Wales had to say, way back in 2018:

This review was set up to focus exclusively on the work of sharia councils in England and Wales
and not to look at sharia practices in general. These councils call themselves sharia councils
because they deal with aspects of Islamic law. The review has collected written and oral
evidence from a wide range of sources. These include a public call for evidence issued by the
review Chair Professor Mona Siddiqui, and oral evidence sessions with users of sharia councils,
women’s rights groups, academics and lawyers, as well as other key stakeholders.

There is no clear definition of what constitutes a sharia council. Sharia councils vary in size and
make up. There is also no accurate statistic on the number of sharia councils, with estimates
in England and Wales varying from 30 to 85. To the best of our knowledge, there are no sharia
councils in Scotland. For the purposes of this review we are defining sharia councils as a
voluntary local association of scholars who see themselves or are seen by their communities
as authorised to offer advice to Muslims principally in the field of religious marriage and divorce.

Sharia councils have no legal status and no legal binding authority under civil law. Whilst sharia
is a source of guidance for many Muslims, sharia councils have no legal jurisdiction in England
and Wales. Thus if any decisions or recommendations are made by a sharia council that
are inconsistent with domestic law (including equality policies such as the Equality Act 2010)
domestic law will prevail. Sharia councils will be acting illegally should they seek to exclude
domestic law. Although they claim no binding legal authority, they do in fact act in a decision-
making capacity when dealing with Islamic divorce.

So maybe sharia law is not 'a policy' in MSM terms, especially since it has no legal status to be one in London or anywhere else in the UK, it is clearly being applied, and provoking recent reports [08 Sept. 2025] like this in The Sun newspaper:

Maybe Trump's speechwriters read it?
