If you don't want to be in Islamic arbitration, don't do business with the muzzies.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but for Islamic Arbitration to take place, wouldn't both parties have to be Muslim or at least sign a contract agreeing to that type of arbitration? The simple act of 'doing business' wouldn't bind anyone to that kind of arbitration, would it? Sorry, but that's how you made it sound.

"The simple act of 'doing business' wouldn't bind anyone to that kind of arbitration, would it? Sorry, but that's how you made it sound."

Right. The practical reality of business to day is that if you "do business" with someone, you're going to be signing some kind of agreement - a purchase agreement, or a longer more detailed contractual agreement.

Considering that the story said it was "...a civil dispute between current and former leaders of a local mosque..." then I'd say it's a safe bet that both parties are Muslim.
