>>It might also not hurt to have some background to what the sharia means and what it does and does not cover and how it coexists with the regular laws. You also have to keep in mind that there are as many flavours of the sharia as there are countries having this installed.

Yeah, sure... Another very narrow minded view, comming out of fear and ingnorance.

You need to know what the sharia means, what it does handle and does not handle, that it may not violate the general law, but only can be an addition. I don't know in what way the sharia was implemented in ontario, but this would be an interesting case.

This is not to say that I'm a forestander of implementing the sharia in a western country, but again people overeact out of fear and ignorance. You'd better know the facts before we make an opinion, but of course we know that people seldom look at fact, rather they are lead by their fears and believes.
