Canada preparing to enforce Islamic law

Canadian judges soon will be enforcing Islamic law, or Sharia, in disputes between Muslims, possibly paving the way to one day administering criminal sentences, such as stoning women caught in adultery.

Muslims are required to submit to Sharia in Muslim societies but are excused in nations where they live as a minority under a non-Muslim government.

Delegates elect council to set up Islamic Institute of Civil Justice (Canadian Law Times)

Canada, however, is preparing for its 1 million-strong Muslim minority to be under the authority of a Sharia system enforced by the Canadian court system, according to the Canadian Law Times.

Muslim delegates at a conference in Etobicoke, Ont., in October elected a 30-member council to establish the Islamic Institute of Civil Justice.

The institute is classified in Islamic law as a Darul-Qada, or judicial tribunal. Its bylaws are scheduled to be drafted and approved by Dec. 31.

Cases will be decided by a Muslim arbitrator, but the local secular Canadian court will be the enforcer.

One of the obstacles to establishing the system, the Law Times said, has been the Muslim communities' lack of unity and organizational strength. Muslims in Canada come from many different countries and different schools of Islam. Also, there are few Islamic legal scholars, known as ulama, in North America, which are essential to adjudicating complex issues.

"It seems as if the community was looking forward to something like this," says organizer B. Husain Bhayat, according to the Law Times. "If all groups are represented, with hard work and the unity we saw here, we will have no difficulty going forward."

The two main streams of Islam, Sunni and Shi'ite, were represented at the conference, along with imams and leaders of organizations.

Still, where Sharia Law differs from Communism, the Canadian courts will make continue to make Communism paramount, eh?!

""If all groups are represented, with hard work and the unity we saw here, we will have no difficulty going forward."

Yes, let us all go 'forward' to the Dark Ages.

This is insane.

[Agnes Heep]

Different laws for different groups? Only a nation of damned degenerate savages would even consider such a thing. Nuke them all to hell.

These people are completely mad!

Canada has really just fallen into some sort of abyss. While they're at it, why not just divide the country up into fiefdoms and be done with it?

I welcome the revolution that will happen in Canada. I would rather like it to be the 51st. state, (SANS QUEBEC). However could they be so kind as to learn how to brew a proper bitter before joining the Union. We brew enough crap on this side of the border as it is!

The courts, at first, will say that Sharia will only be enforced in contract disputes, and will be appealable.

Freedom of contract allows two parties to agree to settle disputes according to arbitration law, Star Trek law, Jewish law, or whatever else.

Next step: an expansion of the scope of Sharia into other areas of the law: torts, property, investments, and eventually the criminal law.

It's time to return the great northern wilderness to moose, bears, and eskimos. Shoot anything that looks french or moorish.

We all know that there are some fine Canadian citizens but it is becoming more obvious by the day that their culture is slowly being corrupted beyond redemption. The government is in the process of destroying that country's civil society and short of a revolution at the ballot box, it will go under in our lifetime.

If the problems are not resolved, it is possible that we will witness a true "clash of civilizations."

I hope that we can learn from their mistakes.

We have, sadly a precursor to all of this. Americans beware. Our indigenous people, otherwise native Indians have in some respects a separate application of the laws. Because of special circumstances which the courts decide, they can have special and apart justice.

Ok, so far so good. I feel impelled to present the worst case scenario here. I do not have any antagonism or ill will to these people. Honestly, they have never done me any harm. That is a good base to start from.

Worst case scenario? Herewith: A native man battered his wife to death. His penalty? Three years in a Healing Lodge. Two youths comitted a heinous crime, I cannot remember it. Penalty? To be cast out on an island in a cabin, for a year. I thought to myself, how long will that last?.

I have observed women with predominently European blood, but by some edict classed as natives. Sorry, but they are utterly - well, I will leave it there. Yet the cry for separate justice, goes up from do-good middle class white women, who wouldnt last five minutes locked up with these ladies.

Canada has gone beyond a joke.

Further evidence that a once great mediocre nation is going right down the toilet.

Anyone who thinks America is immune to this, is fooling himself. Canukia has infected the world with multiculturalism. Tribalism is the official mantra of the government up there. It will spread to America unless its stopped now.

[Redbob]

Did you know that our original Articles of Confederation made provision for the admission of Canada to the Union as a State?

Whew, we sure ducked a bullet there!

Well it's about time we restored some law and order to North American cultures. A few stonings, beheadings and limb amputations will provide a loud wake up call to follow Allah's laws - or else.

While I was living in the Mideast in one of the Gulf countries over the course of 2 years, I saw several men without a hand. I never saw anyone missing both.

This is just what the Canadian people need. And with their ongoing citizen gun confiscation program, the people can whine all they want, but it won't matter a bit.

The Native Americans are in sovereign lands with tribal governments, i.e., the Navajo Nation. That is much different from a group that immigrates and demands a separate judicial system.
