Canada prepares to enforce Islamic law

"... What's wrong with letting people decide they want their personal disputes governed by Talmudic law instead of English Common Law?"

That would almost make sense if Islamic civil cases in some Muslim countries didn't end up with people being blinded in one eye, hands being cut off, or having female family members sold into whoredom to pay outstanding debts.

Oughtta be a load of laughs when someone is ordered to sell their daughter -- a Canadian citizen, mind you -- into an arranged marriage with a Pakistani living abroad.

Would Canada protect that girl, or would they help spirit her away to a foreign land like Janet Reno did to Elian?

They've all contracted LIBOLA.

LIBOLA:A nasty virus that causes liberal sh** to spew out all your pores and orfices. ;-(

If that door gets opened a crack...just a crack...

Letting people resolve their disputes without resorting to the regular court system is a good thing. And the door is open in nearly every country I know of, since arbiters are cheaper and work faster than a court; many have specific areas of expertise, unlike the average local judge. Moreover, if your basic legal rights are violated in such a process, you can sue in a regular court -- for example, if the other party doesn't abide by the arbiter's ruling.

The problem with the proposed scheme here is that the public will probably be paying for it, rather than the parties to the dispute.

No, You don't understand, I really mean it...

I would change my citizenship to an American one any day of the week. I know I would be a better American than 40% of Americans (democRATS/Leftist/Socialists/Communists).

In America your government protects/works for you...here we have to fend for ourselves...


This is NOT sarcasm ...

[DoctorMichael]

THIS is insanity! They are committing Societ-cide!

"Would Canada protect that girl,..."

The Brits don't seem to do much for them, although that is accomplished by looking the other way, not via any enforcement proceedings. I recently heard this was going to change, but I don't know if it has.

So just travel to America and refuse to leave. Pretty soon, they'll let you stay indefinitely or maybe even give you citizenship.

Lots of people do it. What are you waiting for?

Letting people resolve their disputes without resorting to the regular court system is a good thing.

Of course it is! But Islamic law? Are you SURE you want this? Do YOU live in Canada and are YOU willing to live under those laws?

[The KG9 Kid]

I predict that some point in the near future a Muslim woman will refuse to agree to have her case settled in a Muslim court, and someone will throw battery acid in her face for wanting to go to a Kuffar court.

Of course, Canadian pollyannas who their live Julie Andrews lives in little gumdrop houses on lollipop lane will clamp their hands over their ears and shout 'LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA' to avoid having to contemplate that.

"One of the obstacles to establishing the system, the Law Times said, has been the Muslim
communities' lack of unity and organizational strength. Muslims in Canada come from..."

In other words, there aren't of them to take over the country and force
everyone to obey their 7th century oppressive religious edicts.

ROFLMAO!

In Saudi Arabia, the Sharia court is the only choice. In the US (and Canada), submitting yourself is up to you.

To answer your question, if you read the actual Ontraio Arbitration Act, you'll see that arbitration verticts can only be enfored by the regular court. In other words, the only way someone can be forced to sell their daughter through this process is if the regular court would allow that. If it does it's a problem with the regular court, and entirely independent of whether arbitration by Imam is ok.

By the way, if you feel like having your disputes governed by your local Parish Elders, read the Federal Arbitration Act as well as your applicable state law.

There is the difference between America and Canada, If I try that in America, I will probably never get citizenship. It is extremely hard to get it in America, but in Canada, any flunky who claims political asylum gets:first - FREE medical care (OUT OF MY TAXES),second: Welfare (OUT OF MY TAXES), third: his rent is paid (OUT OF MY TAXES) and within 3 years full citizenship, so he can go on full fledge welfare (OUT OF MY TAXES)...

Canadian judges soon will be enforcing Islamic law, or Sharia, in disputes between Muslims, possibly paving the way to one day administering criminal sentences, such as stoning women caught in adultery. (emphasis added)

Good to see WorldNutDaily's reporting standards haven't slipped.

[ApesForEvolution]

Oh, Cannnnnn...a...duhhhhhhhhh.

Freaking retards. At least a majority of voting Canadians.

And, what's really sad, is that we're pretty close to the same sorry predicament...just a matter of time.

Well here's a UPI article for you in the Washington Times, if that's not too "right wing" for you:

I think you missed the fact that choosing arbitration is a voluntary act. How does letting other people choose to be governed by Islamic law when in pertains to disputes between then makes me "live under these laws"? I don't want to be subject to Islamic law, but I don't see why I should prevent others to submit themselves to it, as long as they have the choice not to.

Say you and I sign a contract where we both agree that a local alderman will serve as arbiter in case of a dispute. Do you think that make every US citizen suddenly have to follow rulings issued by that person?

[swarthyguy]

Just consign the muslims who don't want this and/or may be intimidated into consenting to sharia, women in particular.

[RansomOttawa]

Well here's a UPI article for you in the Washington Times, if that's not too "right wing" for you

My comments were specifically directed at the claim that allowing the use of sharia law as a mediation tool in civil disputes will lead to the stoning of adulterers. That, in a word, is idiotic.

In that case I apologize, I thought you were doubting the entire article.
