I would have no objection to them handling the matter within their community, provided that they administered the punishment prescribed by the Torah for such a crime.

The problem with that path, as pointed out in the article is sickening detail, is that it isn’t being done.

The criminal act needs to be handled by the proper governmental authorities. Leaving it to the religious traditions opens the door to stoning and beheading by Islamists as an acceptable replacement for due process.

Does your comment mean you have no problem with believers in Sharia being left to deal with their own?

I don’t know that anyone (except possibly the Natives who pre-date the country itself) would ever get that option because it involves a crime (a serious one). As Catholics we can’t even get out of the birth control coverage of ObamaCare...
