Sharia Watch UK claims that it works ‘to document the advancement of sharia law in Britain’. It is led by former UKIP candidate Anne Marie Waters.

History

The organisation was launched in the House of Lords in April 2014, hosted by Baroness Cox. Attendees reportedly included journalists from The Times, Daily Telegraph and the International Civil Liberties Alliance.[1]

Views

Much of Sharia Watch's output attacks Islam in its entirety. Its articles have suggested that halal meat is funding terrorism a piece entitled ‘Shariah and child abuse – is there a connection?‘, which stated that sharia law ‘stems from the justification of acts of physical and sexual violence of one man some 1,400 years ago.’[1]
