Multiculturalism and Legal Fragmentation

This chapter critiques the failures of multiculturalism as a cultural policy, emphasizing the necessity for a cohesive legal system to maintain national unity. It discusses the implications of competing legal frameworks, particularly the rise of Sharia courts in the UK, and the detrimental effects they pose on women's rights and societal integration. Through historical reflections and contemporary examples, the chapter calls for the prioritization of established legal standards over parallel systems to prevent division and conflict.
