CAIR Canada Opposes Shari'a

Radical Islamic front group CAIR is against shari’a in Canada.
While you pick your jaw up off the floor, I should tell you that they’re against using the word—because it might scare the infidels. Shari’a itself they are very much in favor of, but they prefer to use the infidel-friendly term “faith-based arbitration.” Groups like CAIR are learning how to appear more moderate, as more people catch on to their true agenda—so now, they pretend to be concerned about women’s rights, while working as hard as ever to legitimize “faith-based arbitration.”
TORONTO (CP)— A Canadian Islamic group is trying to prevent the word shariah from being included in Ontario’s Arbitration Act on the grounds it creates a “slippery slope” that blurs dangerously the lines between family and criminal law.
Currently, the law provides for voluntary faith-based arbitration, which allows Muslims, Jews and members of other faiths to use the guiding principles of their religion in settling private disputes such as divorce, custody issues and inheritances outside the court system.
But the Council on American-Islamic Relations Canada is worried that including the word shariah in the legislation would enshrine in law so-called shariah tribunals, which they say are a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
