Today Is Protest Day Against Sharia Courts In Canada

Today is the Second International Demonstration Against Sharia Courts In Canada, according to the campaign's website. Protest speakers are scheduled in major cities around Canada as well as in several European cities. An opinion piece in yesterday's Judeoscope reviews support for Sharia tribunals in Canadian media, but argues that if adopted, the tribunals would impose legal apartheid on Canadian Muslims and destroy the legal and social fabrics of Canada. And today's Toronto Globe & Mail carries a story on the problems that women in Canada now face on family law matters in Sharia courts.
