re: #490 Obdicut

I would be very willing to believe that there’s systemic bias against women’s testimony in Sharia courts, definitely, and that’s the sort of thing that should get them shut down. I’d note that that investigation was launched by moderate Muslims, which is very heartening.

I do think that there’s some systemic biases in terms of testimony here in the US, as well, that we could address.

Yup.

Personally, I think the Sharia courts might be a good idea- as long as they were patterned after the Beth Din model, which does not usurp national rule of law.
