I've glanced at a few atricle about this topic over the last week..all of them glibly toss in as a given a statement that " Jews and Christians have been doing this in Canada for several years." Is this true..and to the same extent?..
Morons like this like to point to constitutional and monarchy law (i.e., US & Canadian law) and insist that they are rooted in Jewish and Christian historical law. This, at least in their tiny little minds, lets them off the hook for proposing Sharia law in the nation in question.
Yes. Which is the argument that our Dhimmi gov't is using in order to give the Muslims Sharia.
Like in the US, people in Canada have the right to agree to have a private, civil dispute (such as a contract dispute) resolved under pretty much any type of law they want.
In NYC, for example, there are Rabbinical courts that serve as arbitrators for members of the Orthodox communuity. Their decisions will generally be enforced by a regular court.
