Sharia Courts In Canada?

This is from Red Alerts back in August. Thanks to Damien for alerting me to it. It ties in with the British Women oppose Sharia courts a bit below.

Sharia Courts in Canada?
Posted by Rob Taylor on August 5th, 2009

Looks like the stealth Jihad is picking up pace in Canada. Counter-Jihad blog Because No One Asked reported that the Saskatoon Muslim Federation is openly calling for Muslims to “settle disputes” in religious courts rather than civil courts, which is a violation of the fundamental Republican ideal of rule of law and perhaps more importantly, as B.N.O.A. points out a violation of section 15.1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Here’s the text published by B.N.O.A.:

Saskatoon Muslim Foundation (SMF) would like to inform you that the foundation
is ready and willing to play a positive role in the area of conflict resolution within our Muslim community in Saskatoon. Our community, Alhamdullellah, is growing. With growth come the positive aspects of larger numbers, more financial and human resources, and diversity in educational level, languages, habits, and background. But also increasing number of conflicts among our community members and institutions can be expected.

We at SMF, and based on actual incidents, strongly believe that we can and should establish a “home-grown” wisdom and mechanism to handle any conflicts within the community before growing out of scale, and before spreading outside the boundaries of our community. We commit to approach such issues in an Islamic and impartial manner to the best of our ability.

If you become aware of or you become part of any conflict in our community, please do not hesitate to bring it to our attention. Based on the agreement of all parties in conflict, we will be able to conduct mediation or arbitration in order to reach a peaceful and Islamic solution to any conflict within our community. Based on the nature of the case under consideration, SMF will form a committee of respectable members of our community to conduct the mediation/arbitration process.

Clearly if this applies to divorce, child custody or any of a number of legal issues involving men and women, women will not be afforded the same justice they would receive in Canadian court. If these courts are used to mediate criminal complaints, then the Canadian government will be allowing an apartheid system to operate in their borders. Because there have been several high profile honor killings in Canada and America people are (rightfully it seems to me) concerned about allowing Islamic practices to supersede a nation’s justice system and thus their sovereignty as they have begun to in England. Which for Islamic Imperialists like the Wahhabi is exactly the point.

One law for all. It is the foundation of Western Civilization and a principle that cannot be allowed to be undone by political correctness.
