I wonder what would happen in Canada if you broke Islamic laws in a predominantly Muslim area. As you might have heard we are considering introducing Shariah law in Canada to appease our fastest growing cultural group. I think I will switch some of my savings to Islamic Gold Dinars as a hedge against the Canadian dollar. "Why have Shariah law in Canada? Many Muslims believe that because Canada is a secular country, its secular legal system makes it difficult for them to govern themselves by the personal laws of their own religion. For instance, Canada's marriage and divorce laws differ from Muslim law. It can be important for a Muslim to be granted a divorce under Muslim law, especially if he or she intends to move to a Muslim country in the future and remarry. Another concern for some is that if a Muslim dies without a will in Ontario, the estate would be divided according to Ontario law as opposed to Muslim law." cbc.ca
