Rejected petition Parliament to debate the compatibility of Koranic verses with British law.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Parliament makes the law. Once an Act has had Royal Assent and passed into law, it is for the courts to decide how to apply it in specific cases. The courts are independent of Parliament and the Government.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
