Hate to Say ‘We Told You So.’

But, actually, we did:

A SPECIALIST Islamic court is among proposals Muslim leaders have raised with Howard Government ministers to resolve religious disputes such as divorce within Australian Muslim communities.

The imam from Sydney's largest mosque met Citizenship Minister Peter McGauran last week to raise concerns about a failure to adequately resolve religious disputes, a longstanding problem within Muslim communities. Under Islamic law, a divorce is only recognised when a husband pronounces a talaq (I divorce you). If either party refuses the talaq, the common recourse is to a sharia court, of which there are none in Australia.

Sharia courts next, I wonder? Of course, all we have to do is say ‘no’. . .

I wonder what the reaction will be, though? A new found sense of injustice and persecution? Yet another grievance to add to the list?

Hat tip Keith.
