| Canada preparing to enforce Islamic law | |
| 2003-11-27 | |
| via Winds of Change "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. 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." Don’t know whether to laugh or cry! Luckily, 10th Mountain in only an hour drive to Ottawa

| #20 Think about the Islamist strategy. It is unlikely for Canada to implement the Sharia laws which the fucking Islamist brains know it. Unfortunately, just a discussion about it in the Canadian court system is good enough to draw American anger towards Canada. The friendly US-Canada relationship is the target. Sk |

| #18 There have been numerous comments on this topic at Little Green Footballs so I suggest you check there rather than duplicating what has already been said. Essentially this article is bullshit and has not been reported anywhere in Canada by any news organization |

| #17 [rant] Assuming that this is bona fide and anyone, even a total-tard Gov't like Chretien's, is looney enough to create a Muslim Sharia Law bubble inside the Canadian Law... Who will be able to argue against the flip-flop, a "Canadian" Law bubble within the Al Canada Sharia Law at some later point? Y'know... when they breed & immigrate the Canucks into the deep background. Of course, when that comes, they'll declare the old law un-Islamic - and pop that bubble - without a backward glance. It's not like any jackoff with a plane ticket can't zoom to Canada and snarf up a passport on a whim. I knew 5 PakiWackis myself in SaoodiLand who had already done it - and they were giving pointers to others who didn't have a Canuck Passport in their collection, yet. Phreakin' breakfast cereal promotion, "Come to Canada and get one of our new improved Passports -- now available in a wide range of styles & colors! Trade with your friends! Collect the whole set!" "Hey Mahmoud, I'll trade you a Toronto Potemkin Univ transcript and a Quebecois Pate College degree for that nifty Purple (only word that rhymes with Maple Surple, y'know) Diplomatic issue!" Mebbe they should contact the goddamned Cracker Jack Co. and have their passports put inside the large box, alongside the Handy-Dandy Halliburton Secret Decoder Ring, as a prize. Nahhh, on second thought, that might devalue the Cracker Jacks. I only knew one, ONE, no-shit Canadian "citizen" in Saudi Arabia working for Aramco who was a native Canadian. The guy had maple syrup in his veins. All the rest? Laban -- that's yogurt for all you infidels. Sheesh. Will the cowardly gutless rampant asinine moronic twit-brained dipshit stupidity of bending over to put a lip-lock on every Muslim ass in sight never cease? Since when did you guys acquire this fetish, anyway? Is all this snugglin up cuz you're cold? Sheesh - we'll send you blankets, already! Electric, battery-powered, phreakin' moon-blankets - whatever ya want! No charge - we'll even cover the shipping for crying out loud! Heavy Sigh. Pentagon Planners: Time to dust off the "Operation Boomin' Bacon!", "Real Northern Lights!" and "Let's see what's under all that phreakin' snow!" sets. F**king Duh, Canada. Grab a clue. [/rant] So, how's that Friendship Fence coming along? Is it DONE yet? |

| #16 I like this quote from #13's link: "We are required by our own law to follow the laws of the country and to follow our own laws. We have a double obligation. You don't have to be the wisest man to see there will be conflicts. . . ." A two court system. Wonderful. I feel sorry for the Muslims who left their old country to escape the claws of Sharia, only to have it reach out grab them once again. At least they will have an alternative, but then again, can you be Muslim and at the same reject Sharia? |

| #15 Found the link on WorldNet Daily - in their lead article. ALso found something like 83 links to Canadian Law Times, and a photo from the WND article, showing people during the discussion. I still think this is the stupidest thing any legitimate elected government could possibly do. Either all your citizens are equal under the law, or you're not really a citizen, or you're not a sovereign nation. I KNOW there's nothing in English common law to cover this! Someone in Ottawa has been hitting the sauce too often. |

| #12 Next They will change the country's name to "Al Canaida" :) |

| #11 That's why a Canadian secular court judge will be there I can't believe I even said this. This is so off the wall, nobody will consider this seriously. |

| #10 maybe this is a plan to get the US to take over Canada. Tell the muslims they can have Sharia and before the first burqa is on the streets of TO we see the 101st helicopter jumping in. ;) Great way of getting rid of the Canadian debt. |

| #9 Steve d. - The common people, no. Unfortunately, you have some clowns in your government that ARE this stupid, just as we do. I'd pay VERY close attention to anything the Canadian government of Jacques |

| #8 Sorry Marten. The Headline is my bad, I hope the link is correct. |

| #7 Searching Google and Yahoo, there is no 'Canadian Law Times'...so I figure this is totally bogus. Canadians may be this and that, but we would NEVER have anything to do with sharia... |

| #6 This is bullshit folks and I can't believe you guys are falling for it. You can't have your own country within a country!!!! Canada does have a constitution and bill of rights, you know. That's why a Canadian secular court judge will be there to enforce the Canadian laws, assuming this Sharia thing gets off the ground in the first place, and assuming this story is true. The Muslim community can do what it wants, but every Canadian citizen is protected by Canadian law. I'd like to see how they move around that. BTW, I live in Etobicoke (which is a part of Toronto) and I haven't heard anything about this conference. Must've been held at a back of a Becker's somewhere. |

| #5 Hey John, Watch is not Winds of Change. No biggie, but we are two distinct entities. Keep up the good work! |

| #4 Great weeping Jesus!! WTF is wrong with these people anyway, are they just plain STUPID??? Has Canada reached the point where its tolerance has become a terminal condition? Muslims don't want Sharia just for themselves; they want it for everybody. And unless they're deterred, they won't stop until they get it. |

| #3 Perhaps we'll end up with 54-40 without a fight, then. |

| #2 Yeah, that's pretty crazy, allowing people to have the freedom to live with the (to us) unfair and strange rules that they have lived by for hundreds of years rather than them being forced to abide by our (to them) unfair and strange rules. Neither one yet allows smoking dope, so as far as I'm concerned, well, that just sucks. |

| #1 I'm starting to wonder just how long Canada can stay together. If she breaks apart I only hope it is a peaceful process |
