#1 The Sharia court referred to is an arbitration court for civil matters. Ontario law was changed last year to give Islamic arbitration tribunals the same status held by other tribunals, including Jewish Beit Din courts. People freely entering a contract can agree to have disputes resolved by such a tribunal. If they agree to do this, then decisions of the tribunal (here, the Sharia court) on civil matters will be enforceable by the courts. That's all this means. No criminal court decisions. Eugene Volokh had a very good 3-part analysis of the situation last November 23. Links to his posts were at www.learnedhand.com this morning.

#2 The most interesting thing here is that some muslims feel terror at the idea of Sharia courts. The intimidation of the Sharia courts is one of the things that the jihad branch of Islam is counting on to whip the moderates into line.
