Muslims themselves are opposed to Sharia Law

We must not allow Islamist organizations like CAIR to steal the platform for the many Muslims who are opposed to Sharia Law. An attempt to allow Muslims to use Sharia Law in family disputes was quashed in Ontario, Canada, by the Premier Dalton McGuinty, in September, 2005. He stated that there should be "one law for all Ontarians." Leading the fight against Islamic tribunals was a group of Muslim women headed by Homa Arjomand who feared that they would lead to discrimination against women. In 2005, Ms. Arjomand was honored as Canada's "Humanist of the Year."
