From Breitbart: A court in Vienna ruled this week that Islamic Sharia law can be legally upheld in Austria in civil disputes, sparking accusations that the nation’s Christian values are being undermined by multiculturalism.
The Vienna Regional Court for Civil Law Matters has upheld the findings of a Sharia arbitration tribunal concerning a civil dispute between two men in Austria, with the group of informal Islamic mediators ruling that one owed the other €320,000 ($372,000).
The man appealed to the Vienna court, arguing that Sharia diktats have no standing in Austria and that the Islamic code violated the constitutional rights of the European country.
Yet, according to Kronen Zeitung, Vienna judges found that it was permissible for private individuals to settle civil disputes through the manner they saw fit, and that Sharia arbitration did not violate the basic law of Austria.
The ruling came with an exception, as the court said Sharia law could apply to civil matters but not for criminal cases.
Shockingly, Austrian deputy governor Manfred Haimbuchner reportedly said that “Sharia is incompatible with our core values,” and added that this was “another example of how our legal system and our constitutional state have nothing to counter the gradual appropriation of Islam.”
