Isn't the answer to this question, Eric, that there is no single Sharia law? Interpretation of Sharia "law" requires a court to pick and choose between Sharia doctrines. It is not terribly different from the wide variety of Christian interpretations of the Bible. Marci In a message dated 1/3/2011 7:37:08 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, erassb...@becketfund.org writes:
e Eugene's other (and I take it primary -- the original post mentioned only the Muslim identity of the arbitrators -- ) concern about entanglement, I don't see how being knowledgeable about Sharia necessarily implicates belief in a religion. I've learned a lot about particular aspects of Sharia representing Muslim clients but that is not affected by whether I am a Muslim or not.
