Abstract
The paper examines the history of Sharia Law and how it has both helped and hindered Muslim women over time. It also reviews the debate over Sharia and looks at what Sharia reveals about the limits of Canadian tolerance and multiculturalism. The constitutional debate that was sparked by the Sharia controversy is discussed and how the sometimes obstreperous debate also led to the airing of a number of arguments against the introduction of Sharia, as well as the counter arguments, which called into question the veracity of some of these views.
From the Paper
"The recent Ontario Government decision to forbid the proposed use of Sharia law in that province sparked considerable debate. Women's groups felt that Sharia law was an abrogation of the constitutional freedoms of Muslim women. Other groups felt that the imposition of Sharia law might transmit the wrong message to radical Islamic fundamentalists interested in sweeping away the equality of the sexes. Finally, still other Muslim groups felt that not only had their constitutional right to religious expression and freedom been trampled upon, but they were the victims of an odious double standard whereby other religious groups were permitted to adjudicate domestic matters.."

From the Paper
"Analysis of a Current Issue: No Sharia Law in Ontario Statement of the Issue On September 12, 2005, Premier McGuinty of Ontario ended months of public debate by announcing that "there will be no sharia law in Ontario" (Freeze and Howlett). The proposal to allow Islamic sharia law as a basis for family law arbitrations, which is currently permitted for Jewish and Christian faiths, created controversy given the reputation of Islamic law as sexist and anti-women's rights. In order to maintain equality, McGuinty promised legislation ending all religious-based family arbitrations in Ontario; a move that upset many Jewish and Christian groups, along with Muslim religious leaders."

Abstract
This paper explores the move towards more extreme acceptance of the Sharia laws for women in Islam. The paper explains that the Sharia are based on three sources, the Koran, the Sunna and the works of Muslim scholars from the first two centuries of Islam. The paper continues by explaining how these laws affect women, including their dress, marriage rights, legal obligations and punishments. The writer believes that many countries are moving towards a more extreme interpretation of the Sharia which has created a serious human rights problem for women in these regions.
From the Paper
"In spite of various attempts to promote a discussion between the different cultures in the West and Islamic countries, specifically related to the implementation of Sharia, jurisdiction remains a Byzantine mystery. (Merriweather and Tucker 1999) There are different interpretations and applications of Sharia in the four different schools of Sunni law. These four schools are Hanafis, Malkis, Shafi?is and Hanbalis."

Abstract
Canada is a unique society. Its population is made up of many diverse people, who live together under a common legal system. At the same time, Canada is the only country in the world with an official policy of multiculturalism. This reflects a desire to accommodate and respect diversity. Yet, is it really possible to at the same time have a common legal system, and also accommodate diversity? This paper discusses the contradictions and problems inherent in this situation that were highlighted by the recent controversy over the introduction of Islamic Sharia, or religious, law in Toronto.

Abstract
This paper discusses Islamic Law (Sharia) in general, as well as examines the benefits and risks associated with in engaging in Islamic business transactions. Additionally, examples are given of the various types of business transactions that are often associated with international business transactions associated with the Islamic world. In the end, it is shown that while it may be challenging to conduct international Islamic business transactions, it is worth the effort to avoid economic isolationism.
From the Paper
"One of the problems in dealing with Islamic law in the realm of international business is that Islamic law has many inconsistencies that make predictability in business matters a major concern. Additionally, the inconsistencies often vary between different sects of Islam, such as between Sunnis and Shi'ites, for example. Indeed, the lack of uniformity and consistency can be confusing and disconcerting. Sharia, which is Islamic law, proceeds by way of example rather than principle. While this does present issues to international business dealings, each of the Islamic States in the Gulf region currently has a set of codified corporate laws."

Abstract
This paper focuses on Sharia law and its possible implementation as an alternative arbitrary court in Ontario, Canada. The author argues that given its misogynistic nature, Sharia courts should not be implemented as a means of relieving the overburdened Ontario judicial system. In fact, the author feels a Sharia court would be a travesty for Muslim women, who should enjoy the same rights and freedoms of all Canadian women, regardless of their religious belief system.
From the Paper
"Sharia law is often seen as oppressive to Muslim women and misogynistic. Many who opposed the implementation of the Sharia courts in Ontario feared for the safety of Muslim women, and found its implementation to be a legitimizing of the goals of Islamic fundamentalists. Under Sharia, women's roles are quite defined.
Although women are not prohibited from working outside of the household there is a strong emphasis on domestic duties such as housekeeping and child rearing. Women, however, generally are not permitted to be clergy or religious scholars. Many fundamentalists believe that Sharia is interpreted to prohibit women from holding prominent jobs; therefore women are forbidden from working in government ("Sharia law", 2005)."

Abstract
This paper looks at the treatment of married Muslim women who live under the dictates of Islamic law. In particular, it looks briefly at marital issues such as polygamy, feminine "modesty" in marriage (specifically the wearing of the traditional veil) and at the matter of domestic violence and whether the Koran specifically permits such acts. In addition, it discusses divorce as it exists under the tenets of the Koran and some time is devoted to the contentious issue of Sharia law and what it portends for Muslim women living in modern western states, specifically Canada.
From the Paper
"Additionally, the Koran does not encourage violence against wives - at least according to a small group of feminist scholars who have examined the Holy Text. Specifically, they cite Chapters XVI and LXXXI along with Chapter IV which all indicate that women are to be not be "ill-treated" and that relationships between men and women should be characterized by charity and sharing. Furthermore, the "Hadith" or "Sayings of the Prophets" emphasize that only "wicked men" insult women and that the "most perfect believers" were those who treated their wives compassionately. "

Abstract
This paper states that, unlike the Jewish concept of God, traditional Christianity teaches that God is in the form of the Trinity, consisting of the God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The author points out that the Land of Israel, where there has been a continual Jewish presence in Israel and its surrounding areas since the time of Abraham, is believed by Judaism to be part of the covenant made between God and the Jewish People at Mont Sinai. The paper relates that the Koran, the principal source of Islamic law, called Sharia, contains the rules by which a Muslim society is organized and governed and provides the means to resolve conflicts among individuals and between the individual and the state.
From the Paper
"According to Islamic doctrine, Jesus will return to over-throw al-Dajjal in the battle of 'Aqabat Afiq' in Syria, or at the Lud gate in Jerusalem according to other accounts. It is believed that Jesus will "kill all pigs and break all crosses,? confirming Islam as the only true religion. After 40 years Jesus will die and be buried next to Muhammad in Medina. Islam teaches that Jesus did not die in A.D. 33 but has been in a state of "suspended animation" ever since."

From the Paper
"This way of using the language significantly distinguishes savings and loan associations from the activities that are undertaken by the commercial banks (Lawai, 1994; Bakar, 1999; Gambling, 1978). Credit unions also have various features that distinguish them in many ways from the more standard banks and from the savings and loan associations as well (Davidson, 1998). Concerning credit unions, it has been said that "like the savings associations, credit unions have traditionally been limited by statute to involvement in noncommercial deposit and consumer lending activities. However, while the savings associations have tended to expand their activities to the point where they may rival commercial banks in the offering of certain types of products and services in certain geographic markets, credit unions have to a greater extent maintained their original role. They specialize in providing more modest financial services to member/customers delineated in relatively narrow terms" (Maududi, 1975)."
