The World Ahlul Bayt Islamic League (WABIL) has expressed its support to the latest statement of the Archbishop of Canterbury regarding Muslim Personal Law. In a statement issued by the president of the league H. E. Sayyed Mohammad Musawi he said: It is part of religious freedom to allow Muslim believers to use the Muslim Personal Law in their own personal lives. This does not mean going away from the law of the land, but supports the law which confirms the religious freedom. He added that the British economy has adopted Islamic banking and financial Sharia system without any objections from anyone. So why is it that when it comes to personal law we hear emotional reactions against the intellectual views of the Archbishop? He added, "We believe that the British and other western societies need to know more about the aspects of Muslim Personal Law before a proper public opinion can be formed. We need wider dialogue circles among intellectuals and learned people, as well as the media and politicians.
