In my opinion, the key issue before the court was whether the parties were bound by an enforceable arbitration agreement (and I will add here given the tone of the thread, that did not have an unlawful purpose). Once so determined by the judge, he honored that agreement.
You can have the last word.
I see your point.
I was looking at it from a Christian perspective: i.e., a lawsuit should have never been filed because the case should have gone to the greater muslim community when the dispute couldn’t be settled between the two parties: just as the agreement states.
The judge ruled correctly. I guess.
