(The National Pulse)—A job advertisement for an administrative position at a Sharia court in Britain has sparked political backlash after being posted on the British government’s official jobs website. Listed on the Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP) Find a Job site, the $31,500-a-year role is based at Manchester Community Centre in Didsbury, England.
The position, advertised by an independent charity, requires applicants to hold a degree in Sharia law and have prior experience working within Islamic courts abroad. Duties include administrative and secretarial responsibilities for the Manchester Sharia Council and coordinating social and religious services.
Outrage quickly followed, with Reform Party leader Nigel Farage commenting, “Our country and its values are being destroyed.”
Zia Yusuf, who heads Reform’s British DOGE initiative, echoed the party leader, warning: “There is only one legal system in the UK. Any attempt to upend or replace it should be illegal.”
The uproar follows increasing scrutiny over the presence of Sharia courts across Britain. Reports indicate there are approximately 85 such bodies in the country, often handling religious rulings related to family matters, particularly Islamic divorces.
