"The problem with "voluntary" sharia law in Canada, is that Muslim women don't get a choice. They "agree" to sharia, or they get beaten, or stabbed to death in "honor killings" if they insist on going outside of their family for help."
I agree that's possible, which is why I don't much like taking on any part of sharia. OTOH, I can't say I've heard of any honor killings in Canada, and we do still have laws against murder and assault in this country, regardless of the religion of those involved. Of course if the women don't know their rights, or have nowhere to turn outside their families (as often happens with abused women), it does put them in a difficult place. Anyway, I was just pointing out that it is not quite as dire some make it sound: "Oh my god, they're instituting sharia law in Canada - they'll be stoning women to death for being raped" and so on. But I do agree that there's no good reason for integrating backwards cultural practices into the institutions of this country.
If you are going along with "voluntary" sharia in Canada, then at the least, you are agreeing to the permanent slavery of mulim women in Canada, because that's what sharia is. If you still want to argue this, you're hopelessly PC, and are just on the downhill slope to Malmo Sweden.
First of all, Sharia has global reach. Outstanding sharia judgement that can not be executed in Canada can be done in Nigeria, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia.
It means that person under sharia conviction can not safely travel outside of Canada.
Think of an emergency landing and you will get the picture.
The problem with Sharia in Canada is that it is TREASON . Canada has relinquished Canadian sovereignty on her own soil.
Nations do such thing only DURING MILITARY OCCUPATION or when joining FEDERATION.
By accepting Sharia, AL QANADA has become part of Dar Ul Islam.
Btw. there was at least one honor killing I can recall. (in Toronto a year or two ago father stabbed daughter to death. If I recall correctly, they were Khurdish immigrants)
