Australia: Muslim leader calls for Sharia, says opponents of Islamic law are bigots
Of course.
What other than bigotry could possibly lead anyone to oppose the institutionalized subjugation of women and non-Muslims, the extinguishing of the freedom of speech and the freedom of conscience, the death penalty for apostasy and much more?
Concern for human rights?
Pah!
It’s
“Islamophobia”!
"Australia’s liberal democracy prides itself being accommodating to different codes of law for different groups: halacha law for Jews, canon law for Catholics, tribal law for the Aboriginal communities, Islamic law for Muslims."The difference is that Islamic law asserts authority over non-Muslims, and denies them basic rights.
None of the other legal systems Dover mentions claim any authority over those who are outside the fold.
Moreover, Islamic law is a political as well as a religious system, and a supremacist, authoritarian, and violent political system at that.
We have already seen the Sharia courts in Britain overstepping the bounds that we were assured they would respect, and dealing with matters such as spousal abuse that they should have turned over to the criminal courts.
Would this happen in Australia?
Without any doubt whatsoever......
