Should Muslims in Canada (and other countries also) have the option of being governed by "Sharia" law?

Question

In 2004, Ontario attorney general, Marion Boyed suggested the possibility of applying sharia under a 1991 Canadian arbitration law. Is it a radical Islamist manipulation of Islamic tradition to argue for sharia in non-muslim lands or should muslims be entitled to be governed by their religious laws?

Answer 1

If you ask if there should be separate laws for Muslims than non-Muslims, then my answer is No. If you ask if there should be a movement to change the Law of the Land, then proceed to my interpretation.

If one or a group wishes to be governed in a way in which is contrary to his/her/their presently claimed state of residence, then legally begin a process to change the laws in that particular state from one way to another, and deal with the laws presently instated.

Alternatively, and if possible, if the laws seemingly will not be voted into action by the people and those in power, then the individual or group could make the necessary arrangements to expatriate from their present state of residence, thus immigrating to a state that performs the laws, such as the individual or group desires.

Should there be no process for such a motion and the individual or group cannot expatriate in the state in question, then start a revolution, so the people of the land can decide and interpret their own laws!

In conclusion, two Laws of the Land causes confusion and double-standards, in many cases; therefore, only one should reign supreme.
