#2 That, say advocates, is the problem with the refusal to recognize Shariah law in the Canadian judicial system. Observant Muslim women, especially those who emigrated from Islamic countries, feel they have nowhere to turn, said Shahina Siddiqui, executive director of the Winnipeg-based Islamic Social Services Association. "Many, many times we see this," Siddiqui said.

I'm not sure how this case supports the above statement. Since hubby refused to give her a Shariah divorce it would seem that the Canadians recognizing shariah law would also have refused a divorce.

Further, the man appears to believe that he is within his rights to stab his wife and daughter. If that's allowed under Shariah then why are "advocates" advocating it?

#3 Maybe my reading is sloppy but the whole article is clear the wife is Muslim but seems to dance around the fact of the husband's religion.

#4 The woman earlier told the court she would like to return to her family in Lebanon but without the religious divorce and worries she could be forced to return to her husband or face charges of abducting her own daughter. "They had a religious marriage in Lebanon and if she returns she could have problems," Crown lawyer Sophie Lavergne told the judge.

Cuz its always a good idea to hurry home to a backwards ass shithole that might force me and my daughter to live with the man that tried to kill us.

#5 "Many, many times we see this," Siddiqui said.

If you belong to a religion that wont grant you a divorce after your hubby tries to kill you just because he doesnt agree with it might be a hint that its time to shop around for a new religion. Just a suggestion.

#6 So what prosecutor asshole allowed him to bargain his way down to aggravated assault ? Anyone low enough to stab his daughter in the stomach deserves to die slowly and painfully.
