It is not a question of not grasping any concept at all.
It is a question of how you perceive politics, law and the world. ....
Hi Flash,
Respectfully, you may not understand this topic in the way it needs to be understood.
Regardless of what you understand, these are the facts. This petition is being passed through the Federal system as James Bezan is an MP and sits in our Federal Parliament. This means he wishes to see the whole of Canada make it a law to ban Sharia across the nation. This is all fine and dandy. My personal preference agrees with his sentiment, in that, I don't want to see Sharia law practiced across this country either. But why do we need to make this a national law that is specific to Muslims and their religious laws? It certainly doesn't fit in with our multicultural and accepting image in the world. But, who cares, really?
The Ontario and Quebec Provincial courts have already seen, heard and have dealt with the matter. They have dealt with it swiftly and completely. They
banned all ecclesiastical laws from governing over civil, contract and family law matter. This is now acknowledged and accepted and enforced. (With the exception of marriage bonds which can still be carried out in churches, mosques and synagogues) This means we don't need a law banning Sharia as
we already have one. There would need to be a change to the law in order to
allow Sharia. No one is ready to make that change at the Federal or Provincial level. It's not even a question.
This means... that in order for Canada to allow Sharia law it would require a Federal Judge to
overrule the decisions of the Provincial Judges who have already presided over the matter. This requires an enormous wave of support. Judges don't like to step on each others toes and it would take a dramatic change to the narrative in order for a judge to consider the change. As I mentioned, there is
NO SUPPORT for the implementation of Sharia in Canada.
NONE. ZERO. ZILCH. NADA.
So where is the concern? Given that Muslims make up 3-4% of our population, that means that 96-97% of our nation
does not and
will not support Sharia. What are people worried about? Is it a reasonable problem for the Federal Court system to address?
I would strongly argue that it is not. This is why the petition is a waste of time. It is not needed. It bogs down our system with wasted courtroom time burned on an issue which has no real chance of coming to fruition. It is one MP's way of making his constituents in his Manitoba riding feel like he is addressing their unreasonable concerns. Nothing will ever come of his petition. Especially with Trudeau in power. It is a
total and complete waste of time.
All your other points about Muslims and Jews appear to be rooted in conjecture and hyperbole. At the root of your concerns is what I feel is the flaw to your argument. At the root, you feel we are weak and vulnerable as Canadians and that we on the verge of, or at the very least capable of, being taken over from the inside by a tiny group of Muslim radicals.
I don't believe this at all.
I think we are Canadians and if we were put to the test and our national identity was truly being threatened with a takeover then we would kick some serious ****ing ass and make sure it never happened. Put that in your bank of thoughts. Here is one Canadian who, even though we disagree on the topic of the petition, will never sit idly by and let our nation be overrun by radicals. I am not alone. So don't worry about it. We have this covered inside and out.
I'm not worried at all.
