In the UK they have been forced to recognise Islamic courts and there
are many of them around the UK. So they had, I presume, to allow Jewish courts.
Any decision they make is not enforceable in Australia I believe.
It would be just a personal agreement between themselves.

In most countries where Sharia law is active Ms Abdel-Magied would of been beaten and whipped at minnimum for her rude, arrogant and self opinionated behaviour. Interesting to see the getup clowns cheering her.

Good that it was Lambie, and not some prissy PC type, who felt able to shout right back at the Muslim woman. It is a trait of Muslims to shout, believing that the loudest voice wins.

Dear Foxy,

You wrote;

“The example that you cited did not occur within
our normal legal system. It occurred outside it.”

It certainly occurred within our legal system right up until it was handed over to a religious court in a foreign land. This was a decision from our own courts to do so . Why shouldn't this be considered wrong? Workplace laws and commercial arrangements within our own country should remain here don't you think?

From your link;

“VICTORIA'S Jewish community has set up a special court to resolve disputes involving its members. Specially trained rabbis will handle civil and commercial issues using a combination of Jewish and Australian law. The court, known as a Beth Din, has previously only dealt with matters relating to divorce and the conversion to Judaism.”

The ultimate authority remains in London. Imagine if Islamic law case within this country was allowed to be decided upon by a Pakistani court.

In that case a commercial dispute would be settled by 2 agreeable sides. Do you think Pakistani jihadis would enforce the decision by sending ATM spyware to suck all the loser's funds from Melbourne to Al Qaeda?

Dear Steele,

From my understanding as the Rabbinical Council
President of Victoria explained in the link I cited,

"The (Jewish) court would offer parties arbitration and
mediation to resolve disputes so they wouldn't need to
go through the normal legal system. It's not trying to go
beyond the law - quite the opposite - its trying to
support the law by creating a venue with the community
to resolve disputes."

It was the Jewish court in London that was asked to
resolve the Jewish matter. I don't believe it conflicted in
any way with any of our laws.
