Sharia needs to be treated no differently than Canon Law, or Laws that bind Jewish Orthodoxy.

Are Canon Law and Halacha (Jewish Law) enforced by secular courts in Canada?

Not a clue, but I would bet neither one lends itself to the maze of tribal law that Sharia is.

Canon Law is a complex of religious applications and theology, not civil law. It wouldn't be something that lends itself to Common Law anyway.

Jewish Law I don't know. Other than sanitary aspects in slaughterhouses, I don't know if any of it would collide with a countries laws. The Jews have a long long long history of adapting to other countries without demanding that that country accomodate their religion (and taking over).

Nigeria has an interesting problem as does Sudan with Sharia..so does Indonesia and other countries. I would hate to see this become a wedge.

Canon law does not extend itself beyond the scope of the Church. It would be of no use to two Catholics seeking binding arbitration of a commercial dispute.

Islamic law encompasses everything that the common and civil law systems of the West do.
