I don't see why this issue bothers you soo much?Especially as it applies to women, I am at a disadvantage in a sharia court simply because of my gender. In a male dominated and parochial society, I would have little expectation of equal representation in a sharia.
You are Not a muslim women; so your civil problems would never be judged in a Sharia Court.
You are just flailing away about something that has zero to do with you.![]()

I will give you one example.You can't have it both ways either they have fewer rights or they don't and if they had just as many rights as in secular law then there is no way they would be "different" as you put it.
Pale Rider -
No, I'm not ignorant - I'm just better informed than you are.
I suggest you check how Sharia law is working in the UK, and let me know whay your concerns are then.
In reality there are as many variations as to what Sharia Law means as there are countries which use it, but of the 20 or so countries which do use it, only in 4 does it actually mean the kind of sinsiter, draconian stone age punishments that we would all fight against.
Even in most muslim countries, it is largely used not for ciminal, contract or civil law, but to settle divorces, inheritances etc.
Your facts seem correct to me. Here we only allow "Kosher" labeling on foods if a Rabbi verifies it. Same with Halal and Zabiah labeling, which must be processed according to Islamic law, and certified by some Islamic authority. In all these cases, the USDA nor the FDA, will do such certification, but require that some religious authority confirm it before it can be put on the label.

In secular civil court when there is a divorce; it is basically a given that the mother will be awarded the children.
But in sharia court the mother is awarded the children if they are younger (under 10 years of age)
And the father is awarded the children if they are older.
Because we feel that a younger child needs their mother and an older child needs the influence of the father.
Thus both parents have rights; but they are different under sharia law than secular civil law.
Sunni Man, you should start a thread about Sharia Finance and how it's superior to American Finance, especially when you buy a house.
I know I know! I'm supposed to enjoy paying $300,000 for my $175,000 house but there IS a better way if we throw of the Bankers.
Some of you think it's "Patriotic" to get f*cked by a Bank. Well I don't.

Muslim women have equal rights in comparison to western women.What is the pathology that afflicts you such that you must keep women subservient and deserving of lesser rights?
thats the Old Testament Bones.....i was always told after Jesus came on the scene it became just that ....Old....the New Testament takes Precedence....just what i was taught...if you read the christian bible....it allows you to sell your daughter as a slave.....you can take slaves as long as they are from another tribe...slaves should not rise up against their masters....you should not have sex till 7 days after a woman stops bleeding.....the list just goes on and on....both are oppressive to women...

But they are just in a different legal frame work.
Question: why are lesbians like you so worked up about what muslim women should and shouldn't do?

No, it's because it's easier to train older children how to shoulder an AK-47.![]()

Yes, that is my take on it, too.
We just have to make sure any Sharia decision operates within the limits of our existing civil rights legislation, and then I don't see any major problems.
I grew up in Oklahoma where Indian Tribal Courts are the norm on the reservation; Comanche, Apache, Kiowa, Seminole, and others, each have their own courts.neo...you are aware the native americans opt out of the western justice system....on reservations...they have their own laws and courts
Heaven help you if you are a white man and are trying to use the Tribal Courts to bring a case against an Indian.
Your chance of winning your case is between zero and none.![]()
Correct.Both parties would have to agree for the case to be filed under Sharia law right? what if the woman says no or something?
