Anti-Sharia Protests In Canada Also Threaten Jewish and Catholic Tribunals

Ynet News reports today on an unanticipated consequence of the furor over the possible introduction of Islamic tribunals in Canada. (See prior posting.) The protests threaten the use in Ontario since 1991 of Jewish and Catholic tribunals to settle family law matters on a voluntary basis. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty said that he is against letting Islamic law be used to settle family disputes, and will move against existing religious courts, as well.
