A Muslim cleric who has worked towards opening sharia law courts in the UK has been questioned over historic rape claims. The women went to West Midlands Police over allegations they were attacked while staying with the sheikh's religious community in the UK, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported. Speaking about the courts at the time, he said: 'This method is called alternative dispute resolution, which for Muslims is what the sharia courts are.' After Theresa May announced an independent review into Sharia Courts in Britain, Mr Siddiqi hit back. His father, renowned Sufi Muslim scholar Hazrat Mujadid Abdul Wahab Siddiqi, founded Hijaz Manor where the preacher lives today.
