When religion meets the law: Shariah law in Australia

http://www.lawyersweekly.com.au/blogs/international_spotlight/archive/2009/11/02/when-religion-meets-the-law-shariah-law-in-australia.aspx

This is an interesting article on a proposal (from 2009) that Australia integrate Sharia law, particularly as it relates to the banking and finance system, into the Australian legal system. The author suggests that Christian and Jewish elements and ideals have found their way into the Australian legal system -- why not make a place for Islam too?
