O Canada

Canada is a very accepting country, but the Province of Ontario has drawn the line when it comes to allowing religious law to supersede the laws of Canada. The former attorney general of Ontario was commissioned to study whether Sharia should be used to settle such matters as divorce and child custody among Muslims. She recommended that it be so. The premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty, has decided that, "There should be one law for all Ontarians."

So, the first attempt to introduce Sharia in the West has failed. I'm sure it will not be the last.

Let's hope all attempts end in the same manner as this one. There used to be a saying: "When in Rome do as the Romans do." I wonder what happened to it?
