shariah law made modern?

Assalamualaikum...

I was reading about the new formed Malaysian cabonet on Malaysiakini, and I bumped into this letter written by a non-Muslim (I think laaa) about shariah law and is very interesting. And it does have something to do with yesterday's talk. Take this Ayaan!

Some excerpt from the letter

"..Some UK Muslim communities are already resolving family disputes voluntarily with shariah law. Of course, all parties should also have the right of recourse to the jurisdiction of UK courts. However, such rights have to be taught, learned and upheld. Politicising the debate on shariah law and confusing it with extreme criminal punishments which are not agreed with or practiced by most Muslims in the world does not help this process..."

wallahua'lam.
