Sharia law used in German court?
Der Spiegel reports, via Ummah News Links, on a disturbing ruling in Germany, where the judge cites a passage in the Koran that many Muslims believe justifies wife-beating. The case involves a Moroccan couple living in Germany.
Cultural sensitivity is one thing, but judicial rulings are quite something else. Sharia is not the law of Germany. Or of Minnesota.
