Interesting. Mail order brides first became common practice in the US.
Similar scenarios occurred multiple times in the US. Many brides were
brought back from the Phillipines after WW2, Korea and the Korean
conflict, Vietnam etc. to face similar circumstances. To this day,
americans go shopping for brides overseas. The eastern block is quite
popular for rich americans looking to buy a bride. For you to post
this is much more of an embarassment for americans than these three
instances are for canadians. I'll bet dollars to donuts that these
guys got the brides thru an american-run scheme. Anything for a buck
for youse guys down south. It is also quite reminiscent of when youse
guys would buy and sell people in slavery. Again, a mostly american
practise.

Canada must follow.

Except for the truly stupid stuff like Vietnam, Korea, Iraq..... oh
yeah and private (lack of) health care, the death penalty, three
strikes laws, liberal gun laws, slavery, electing idiots like
Bush-Cheney, trillions spent on the military-industrial complex, a
justice system that is massively skewed towards those with money,
off-shoring jobs, many children left behind, a privately owned and
corrupt press, wide open corporate rights, tightly restricted
individual rights.....

Now [censored] off, ya troll.

Don't worry because of your immigration laws you will soon catch up with the
US. I see some heads being chopped off pretty soon.
You guys are so [censored] civilized.

"As we all know, Islamists in Canada have recently set up an Islamic
Institute of Civil Justice to oversee tribunals that would arbitrate family
disputes and other civil matters between people from Muslim origin on the
basis of the Islamic Sharia law. This is the first time in any western
country that the medieval precepts of the Sharia have been given any
validity. One can imagine that the Islamists will use this as a lever to
work for similar recognition in many other western countries. After all, if
Canada is prepared to recognise Sharia law in this way why not every other
country in the west."

http://www.secularislam.org/women/islamism.htm

You guys are so civilized and sensitive to Islamists in Canada.

X woman's testimony under the Sharia counts only as half that of a man. So
in straight disagreements between husband and wife, the husband's testimony
will normally prevail. In questions of inheritance, whilst under Canadian
law sons and daughters would be treated equally, under the Sharia daughters
receive only half the portion of sons. If the Institute were to have
jurisdiction in custody cases, the man will automatically be awarded custody
once the children have reached an age of between seven and nine years. Given
this inequality it is particularly worrying that there will be no right of
appeal to the Canadian courts. The principle being that if both parties in a
dispute willingly submit to Islamic arbitration, they can't complain when
they lose.

They argue that it is their duty as good Muslims to work for precisely this
end. And this end precisely leads to more forced marriages, more honour
killings, more Islamic schools, more FGM-s done secretly, and more
harassment and intimidation towards women and girls in ghettos.

Under the Sharia, for over two decades, millions around the world have
fallen victim: countless people have been executed, beheaded, stoned to
death, had their limbs cut off, flogged and maimed, bombed to pieces and
routed. In countries which have proclaimed an Islamic state, such as Iran,
the Sudan, Pakistan, some states in Northern Nigeria, and Afghanistan, we
have already seen the pernicious effects of the Sharia.

I call upon all secularist forces and freedom-lovers to stand up and protest
against the setting up of Islamic tribunals in Canada. All progressive
people should make a joint effort to stop Islamism and multi - cultural
politics of the Canadian authorities from violating the universal human
rights and our civilized values.

I have been watching a feast of "100 Centre Street" which if you've
not seen it is about a New York court. Some of the social problems
suffered by the poor there are quite scary. Brilliant series.
Sidney Lumet, I believe.
