In think this debate has been simplified much more than it should have been. Sharia law is more than stonings and beating women. In fact there is no such thing as "a Sharia Law" because just about every country that has "Sharia Law" has a different set of laws.
That being said I think the Ontario Government absolutely made the right decision, and this sharia debate was a very useful tool to change the law so that religions like christianity and judeaism (spelling?) have a little less influence on our lives.
It's certainly true that Christianity is a much more menacing threat to our legal system than Islam and this was a great oppurtunity to get them a little further out of it.....
One of the people in this thread said something about Muslims wanting to have multiple wives in the future.......I would be more worried about Christians trying to make it against the law to have pre-marital sex and stuff like that.....
They are constantly attacking our legal system and trying to change it....like with the marriage stuff....they want to change the law so that only people who follow religious tenets are allowed to be married......next maybe you go to jail for having sex with someone your not married to.......NO THANKS!

Good Ol' Christians they are, I'm sure the particular sect within that preaches poligamy would take a mile when given an inch on the subject too.

Yeah exactly.....theres actually a commune in BC somewhere where they practice polygamy....and the older men marry like 12 year old girls and stuff.....
and the BC gov't won't do anything about it......
