quote,Royston
Whether you agree with religious courts or not, you must recognise what the debate is about. Religious courts, like the recognised jewish ones, are optional for people who choose an alternative forum and limited to civil, not criminal, issues. End of quote.
logically then Jewish people should have these options in Muslim countries,do they? do Christian people have an option in Muslim countries?Do Muslims have this option in Israel?
Royston,I am not reactionary[backward looking].
I am a believer in equality,regardless of creed race or sex,something that the Muslim religion is not.
I shall ignore your childish insults.
if this report is true[which I doubt],I would be concerned unless the freedom and tolerance that IS shown in this country is reciprocated by the allowance and tolerance of other religious courts in Muslim countries.
how much respect and religous tolerance is shown to hindus, jews,christians in Muslim countries.
how much respect is shown in Israel to Muslims and Hindus?
the Muslim religion,in common with many other religons is reactionary[backward looking]it looks back to the Prophet Mahomet,its treatment of women is indefensible.
