In a development that has been discussed on this blog by Godless before, Ontario is going to begin allowing for the application of Shar'ia law for Muslims in Ontario. In year-old articles that I seem to have missed before, the Canadian Law Times reported that the new Islamic Institute for Civil Justice in Ontario has begun drafting bylaws that will be enforced by the secular Canadian courts, with the help of Shar'ia trained Islamic "arbitrators."

I just ran across this a few minutes ago, so I haven't done much research into it, but what I've seen so far is appalling. From the website of the IICJ:

Muslim minorities living in non-Muslim countries like Canada are like wandering Bedouins for whom the Shariat applies irregardless of where or when or they live. Although they are free to live according to the Divine Law to practice their faith unhindered in their homes and masjids [mosques], they have practically no say in the making of the laws of the land, and governmental institutions do not cater to their needs.

According to the current Canadian law, [although they have been threatening to change it lately due to a sustained negative media campaign] we are free to set up independent Muslim Arbitration Boards (Darul-Qada) to serve those who choose to come to them. The decisions of Darul Qada (once rendered) will be binding on the parties, the relevant Rules Of Civil Procedure would also be applicable and the decisions will be enforceable through the normal enforcement agencies of the government in the same way as any order of a Canadian court.

This is multiculturalist dogma in its most hideous form. Regardless as to what the multiculturalists claim, the slippery slope rule applies here; what is "voluntary" now ("voluntary" in that legally, Muslims in Canada are not required to go through this process, but this is ignoring peer and religious pressure which will result in them being forced to) will become mandatory in the future if the West does not wake up. If the West does not re-assert its cultural hegemony over what remains of Western Civilization soon, what will result will truly be remembered as "the suicide of the West."
