You need to read up more about Islam. When they get a inch, they demand another inch. Then they claim they are under oppression if they are denied to implement their entire Sharia law. If they want to move to a western country, they should adopt western laws.

Arbitrations under Sharia law have been legal in the US for several decades. You and I can agree to have our dispute settled under Japanese, Sharia or Klingon law, if we want to.

" Arbitrations under Sharia law have been legal in the US for several decades."

WHERE. What court in this country recognizes Sharia Law. We all want to know, so we can shut that down.

I am trying to stay respectful but you wrote "Arbitrations under Sharia law have been legal in the US for several decades."

What if the outcome of the arbitration violates the US laws of contracts? What then, my friend? Which has superiority? What they agreed to, or the law of the land?

[bill1952]

No, you cannot.

When parties to the agreement are not equal under the law, then there is no arbitration at all.

By the way, a few years ago the Germans arbitrated such things as the resettlement of the Jews in exactly that way.

>Arbitrations under Sharia law have been legal in the US for several decades

Again, no they are not.

Those are properly named "Mediations" and are nothing at all like arbitrations.

I've sat in many such proceedings.

Maybe arbitration under Sharia sounds nice, but women will see it as another nail in the coffin of their civil liberties. They will suffer in silence, and that's criminal.
