Go Maryland!

Dhimmi Watch reports on a court case in Maryland in which the judge refused to recognize a divorce done by the husband in Pakistan according to sharia law, noting that it would deprive the wife of the rights accorded her under American law. Read all about it here.

A year ago, a German judge caused an uproar by saying that a Moroccan husband had the right to beat his wife, since it was allowed under sharia law. Now, if only the Archbishop of Canterbury could understand the implications of allowing sharia law to be 'partially' implemented in Western countries - maybe he needs to visit Maryland more often.
