It's quite long, but here's a snippet.
On August 21st, Greek Newspapers reported that new Family Law reforms jettison the practice of allowing Sharía Law to govern family matters for a Muslim enclave of over 110,000 living in Western Thrace. This is a good thing (as I argue in a new chapter entitled “The Perils of Privatized Marriage, forthcoming in Marriage and Divorce in a Multicultural Context: Multi-Tiered Marriage and the Boundaries of Civil Law and Religion (Joel A. Nichols, ed., Cambridge University Press, 2011) because women in systems of religious deference frequently get a raw deal.
Prior to this change, fundamentalist religious understandings were given the force of law by delegating jurisdiction to religious groups to decide family disputes, with nominal State oversight. As a result of the Treaty of Lausanne, signed by Turkey and Greece in 1923, Muslims in Greece enjoyed unique independence from the Greek government. They maintained their own religious and legal institutions, headed by three Muftis who “conduct all matters related to civil law” using Sharía law, specifically Hanafi law.
And here's on of the comments, surely a "jest" indeed...

It's an article repealing part of the Treaty Of Lasaunne whereby Grrek muslims were allowed to rule on family matters under Sharia law and how the Greek gov't. of today has repealed it.------ This thread is Archived ------

Please tell us who was rioting in the streets of London and other UK cities recently. I as have heard this.....it was 'parties not original
to the British Isle'....but that can mean many. Carribean, African, Sub Continent.
But I have a gut instinct, that those rioting were from the sub continent and Africa that were dissatified with the English systems and laws. e.g Molsems. If they were displaced Moslems. They had little regard for English property as it burned to the ground, then why should England have regard for their Sharia Law?
But it does. And they still rioted.

Yes, I do, though I'm just passing on news that most (I suspect) will not have heard.------ This thread is Archived ------
I read a headline that said Sharia law was being imposed on mortgages in America, I sure hope not. Sharia law has no place in America.

There are moves afoot to allow sharia laws in banking in America-namely, the desire of muslims not to pay interest on loans. Must be nice....------ This thread is Archived ------
Looking at the red thumbs on this thread, one would think if red thumbs were rocks, someone wants to stone anyone to death who doesn't agree with Sharia Law.
Go ahead. Thumbs down me. It will only prove my point. Sticks and stones may break my bones but red thumbs will never hurt me.
