Labour MP Chuka Umunna asks what evidence there is to support claims that Sharia councils follow "a fundamentalist form of Islam".
Elham Manea of the European Foundation for Democracy says "you just have to look at all types of verdicts" reached in Sharia councils.
Mr Umunna suggests that her claim of fundamentalism is a "subjective" one.
But she argues that "progressive", as opposed to fundamentalist, means "equal rights in front of the law".
