I refer you back to my post #904. Arbitration is just the tip of the iceberg. Look at the Archbishop of Cantebury's recent remarks about the "inevitability" of Sharia Law in England. Then look at every other place where Sharia has become the law of the land. (Africa is a good place to start.) I'm not happy about any of the religious courts, I'm vehemently opposed to Sharia. Melting pot - not a fricking stew (thanks COL M.).
Practical question - when the time comes to enforce the decision of the Sharia arbitrator - who does it? The civil authorities they've spurned with their religious court? Or do they get their own enforcers too? Who guarantees justice/equity/etc. in a Sharia court? The civil authorities they've spurned? (Yes, I like spurned - it fits perfectly.) The practical application of Sharia is not a system noted for equality. Pretty quotes from the Koran aside, the Imams tend to interpret and pass judgement however they want.
