In the UK we need an expression of Islam that takes into account the ‘urf’ (customs) of the British people, our culture and ways of doing things.
This is an important part of sharia.

Embracing democracy, liberalism and humanism after all.
to embrace them, we are allowed to critically assess them first – as any sensible, rational person should.
“Embracing democracy, liberalism and humanism after all.”
As an Englishman i have strong criticisms of these secular ideologies, as so do many patriotic Roman Catholics and Traditionalists (eg Sir Roger Scruton).
Could you be more specific? Examples? What customs exactly do you have in mind?
The relevant English customs today are shaped by the democratic, liberal and humanist tradition I would say.
@ Harris
Customs are shaped by a variety of factors that has no basis on the post. Customs are still respected regardless as long as they don’t contradict something in Islam.
bla bla. What is actually meant by “expression of Islam that takes into account the ‘urf’ (customs) of the British people,” I know I get no answer.
@ Harris
Don’t know anything about British culture as I’m not from there.
Yes – but I sense this must (it will inevitably) go via a filtration process (existentially for everyone, right now; and yet intellectually on a deeper level, over time, via the scholars) – to discern what parts of ‘urf is halal (lawful), mustahab (recommended), mubah (neutral), makruh (disapproved) and haram (unlawful).
Example:
Halal: being civil to Muslims and non Muslims in the UK; obeying UK laws etc.
Mustahab: giving charity to the poor and needy, frequently.
Mubah: visiting Portsmouth.
Makruh: swearing.
Haram: drinking alcohol.
