Canada has a pretty negligible-sized Muslim community. The idea that Sharia law will someday soon take over the Canadian courts is, well, silly.

600,000, I believe. That makes 'em the largest non-Christian group in the country. Isn't 600,000 Canadians proportionate to 6,000,000 (6 million) Americans?

BTW, you certainly seem to be taking a somewhat more liberal and unconcerned attitude than the typical poster. You're under no obligation of course but I'm sure many would be onterested to hear where you're coming from or what your agenda, if any, might be.
