#1 Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty promises the rights of women will not be compromised if the province allows Muslims to use shariah â Islamic law â to settle civil and marital disputes.

Chickens not endangered by letting foxes into hen house.

#2 It's about time the left woke up to the fact that islamists are anti-women.

#3 Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty promises the rights of women will not be compromised if the province allows Muslims to use shariah â Islamic law â to settle civil and marital disputes.

Waitaminnit.

When this farce started, it was touted as being for civil disputes -- just as a contract stipulates any disagreements are to be settled by arbitration, a contract could stipulate it's to be settled by sharia (snort) law.

When did marital disputes get added to the purview?

I've never been in favor of this, but shouldn't this be setting off big, red sirens for people who don't have a beef with it?

#5 It makes perfect sense to me. Ask any good imam, and he'll tell you sharia laws are there to protect women ~~from whacked-out hormone-crazed men~~.

#6 I think that leftists have a fungus in their brain that tells them that the ways of foreigners are by definition better than the ways of the people they grew up with. That is, he just *knows* that Sharia is better than Canadian law, because it's *not* Canadian law.

You see the effects of this fungus in US leftists a lot. They knew communism and fascism was better than democracy, and that eastern religions are better than western religions, and just everything that foreigners do is just generally better than anything the US does.

#7 I fancy the disorder an irreversible degenerative brain disorder that, unchecked, ultimately ends in high mortality rates preceeded by long periods of profound suffering, usually by others not actually afflicted with the disorder as it hollows out the brains of those infected like a dried squash leaving them immune to all forms of human suffering outside of irrational abstractions and myth.

That's because all brain-enabled women will get the hell out of Ontario.

#10 "the rights of women will not be compromised if the province allows Muslims to use shariah"

A safe comment since women have no rights under Sharia.

#11 I have no objection to sharia being used for civil disputes, if both parties voluntarily consent and no laws are broken, but marital disputes? No Way! I'm with RC, when did this deal change?

#12 Ya know, Mrs. Davis, I have a feeling the "deal" never changed. We just weren't told the whole story.

If Canada allows sharia to be enforced -- especially in regards to family issues -- and passes some sort of "religious defamation" law, like the one in Australia, then we may as well move Canada to the "hostile" column.
