***We aren't using the Qu'ran as the basis of any of our laws.
It wouldn't ever work. ***
They are trying to get it to work in Canada and France. They have made it work in Nigeria. What make you think they wouldn't try it here?
***the topic of this thread is about whether another ali can swear on a Qu'ran at a court proceeding***
Yes, whether it is LEGAL do do so. I am arguing that it is making a change to the legal system (in that previously it only allowed Christian Scriptures) and since the legal system is based on precident we must ask where this precident will take us.
***Your arguments would carry more if you stayed on topic.***
I think I'm right on target.
whatever...
either do it or don't. It is really the non issue of non issues. I don't honestly care one way or the other.
This is a pointless exercise in futility and arguments.
Do muslims, who appear before a Canadian court and take an oath on the Koran, get Islamic-style punishment when found guilty? I don't think so. For starters, it'll make many muslims think twice before setting sail for Canada. Second, it will put Canada on the list of 'unsafe' countries, together with the majority of countries where Islam rules.
Muslims often do not recognize the laws of a non-muslim country because the law, in their perception, should be based on the Koran. Hence organized crime in many European countries is dominated by...Canadians? No. Muslims? There you go!
