Canterbury Tales of Dhimmitude: Archbishop Ready for Sharia
When the move was afoot in Canada to have “just a little bit” dual law systems in areas of family law, it was a women’s Muslim group that was very active in its defeat.
Can you imagine living in a society where your chances at some degree of equity in areas like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and rights to children could be completely blown away by the imposition of Dark Ages thinking ?
Some of Canada’s multiculturalists thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea, letting “domestic” matters be settled in the Muslim community. Unclog the courts, all kinds of advantages, they said.
Next thing you know, (dis)honor killings in Canada would take a huge jump.
Men who are bullies (you will note) constantly emphasize the control of their women. It is their “proof” of manhood.
The major impetus behind the insistence upon shari’a and the (very) few lines in the Koran that would give it credence are serving the male ego and household management.
In Shari’a law, the man says “I divorce you” and it is done. While a woman can hang around begging courts to turn her loose for years, preventing her from any kind of “new” life. Under shari’a, a woman’s inheritance is half a man’s, her minor children can be removed from her for all time. And so on.
Barbarism, and Rowan Williams’ dissembling little politically correct remarks, sheer ignorance.
