Today, it failed.

Tomorrow, who knows.

And for those of you who say it never happen in Canada... just wait.

[GreenTiger]

We have to be careful that it fails every day.

In The States the laws of the US and the State you are in are supreme and the laws that you follow.

When I go up North the laws of the Federal Canadian Government and the Province or Territory that I am in are supreme.

That is the way it should be on this side of the Atlantic.

Condemning the implementation of Sharia will elicit 'anti-Racism' protests. The intolerant will demand that we accept their intolerance.

In related news, a Florida town has officially banned the Devil from city limits and the mayor of some other village has passed a municipal bylaw outlawing Martian invasions.

What this law outlawed is already illegal. An arrangement that violates a persons rights is already null and void by definition. Hence you cannot willingly sell yourself into slavery. The whole "Sharia Law is coming" threat is just another right wing fear-based fantasy by people who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground and are such cowardly scardy-cats they spend their whole lives jumping at their own shadow.

Sharia law or any other law that contradicts constitutional rights never has and never will be an issue in Canada. Even when jurisdictions have toyed with the idea of allowing religious institutions to adjudicate civil matters, the decisions had to comply with the charter and ultimately be signed off by an actual judge. And here in Ontario where religious adjudication was briefly permitted by the Harris Conservatives, McGuinty killed it about 10 years ago...contrary to what Shep claims about cries of racism preventing that from happening.

Just showmanship; much ado about nothing. We're as likely to adopt Shaira law as we are to return to serfdom.

When this actually happens would you be so kind as to point it out and let us know that "anti racism" protests are happening. Thanks in advance!

Who cares. The Hassidic Jews demanded the windows of a YWCA be covered so they wouldn't be offended by watching women in spandex. The Y complied until the louder complaints of the majority reversed the decision. Its people's right to protest about anything. Doesn't mean they get what they want. The problem is that we make special deals for Christians and Jews, then get bent out of shape when the Muslims want it too. The same people foaming about something the Muslims want, will foam when something the Christians want is threatened, like holidays. They want to turn back the clock to living in a Christian country. Just not going to fly in 2015.

Good point andyt, but last time I checked, at least in North America, no one threatened to kill or blow something up because they didn't get their own way (ie jews or 'insert of christian' here).

But you bring up a good point, once you bend to one of these sky spaghetti monster cults, then you have to start bending to the others. Another reason to do away with this man made manacle.

What this law outlawed is already illegal.

What was passed by the city was not a law. It was simply a municipal resolution supporting a house bill from the state that forbids any use of any foreign law to take precedent over existing law.

It was not even directed at Sharia alone. I'm going to suspect it would also apply to say, Mormon "Stakes" law, or Jewish Halakhah. But because the religion of the perpetual victim is there offering every lament short of desert yodeling, Shariah alone becomes what matters. Kind of makes you wonder though, if the resolution doesn't matter, and they have no chance of getting anything like Sharia anyways, what are they worried about?

BTW you guys all read the bottom paragraph of that article, right?

$1:

An Islamic court using Sharia law was established in nearby Dallas earlier this year, Breitbart reported in January. One of its “judges” said that taking part in the court is “voluntary.” One who observes the Muslim faith cannot obtain a divorce, or “Talaq,” without the approval of the Islamic court.

“[W]hile participation in the tribunal is voluntary, a married couple cannot be considered divorced by the Islamic community unless it is granted by the tribunal,” Dr. Taher El-badawi, one of the judges, explained to Breitbart.

Why is it something like what's happening in Europe could not happen here?

$1:

Although the legal age for marriage in Britain is 16, according to Islamic Sharia law girls can marry once they reach puberty. The imams who agreed to marry the girl openly mocked the legitimacy of British law, reflecting the rise of a parallel Islamic legal system in Britain.

Yep, just like Islamic violence was never going to be an issue in Canada. People just like you regularly "assured" us that Muslim violence would never happen here. One can only assume the opinion is based on some ideologically-based fantasy from people who spend their lives with their heads buried in the sand believing that we're just so fucking awesome that no one would ever want to commit acts of terror in Canada. Well, except biker gangs, French separatists, Christians(according to andy), white supremacists, anti-oil groups, Armenians, Cubans and whoever else, but not Muslims. No way.

Still think Sharia law will never be or has ever been an issue in Canada? Reread your previous post. Look at what you stated in the quoted part. You then followed it up by commenting on Ontario's stint with "religious adjudication". So it obviously was an issue in Canada. An issue serious enough for the Ontario Liberals to put the kibosh on it.

Well, they won't be doing that again.

I dunno, the Ontario Liberals confuse me. On the one hand they stomped on the idea of Sharia law in Ontario, and yet they also grossly violated the rights of farmers and rural property owners in order to shove turbines down Ontario's collective throat.

On the flip side, they allow part of Park Valley Middle School to be used as a Mosque for the students on Fridays, but get their panties in a twist over school prayers. Not that I agree with school prayer either.

You already are in a serfdom lol. It's called the Common Wealth of the UK. Oh by the way Sharia is alive and well in the UK, how's that for the Constitutional aspect and disrespect. We in US will not accept Sharia as Law and will fight it tooth and nail as illegal and against our foundations of freedoms. Both the US and Mexico are the only two non serfdom's in N.America.
