I hope Canada never gives in to the demand for sharia courts. I was born and raised in a country like that. The claim is that sharia will never interfere with civil matters and only applies to Muslims. That is completely untrue. Thousands of people (and people I have known) have suffered unjustly from these kangaroo courts. Sadly, I'm not even surprised anymore that the UN is cool with nations that practice traditional sharia laws.
The only nation I know of that is trying their best to rewrite the sharia laws is turkey. Really, we should be supporting nations like Turkey in their efforts to change this archaic law. In it's present, traditional form, sharia is oppressive and backward.
