May the burqa rest lightly on her shoulders! This deranged twat has it coming.
Professor Triggs also said Sharia divorce courts should be allowed in Australia, under a system where a Muslim man can leave his wife by saying ‘I divorce you’ three times.
‘If it’s a matter of private law within the Muslim community and they want to manage their affairs in that way, and they believe in those rules, that’s reasonably acceptable,’ she said.

‘Sharia’s no different to Catholicism’: Ex-human rights commissioner Gillian Triggs says Sharia law courts SHOULD be allowed in Australia – just as the Vatican already influences everyday life

Australia’s former human rights commissioner Gillian Triggs says Sharia law should be allowed in Australia.
The former law professor likened the Islamic legal system to Catholic diktats from the Vatican.
‘There are various ways in which religious law affects the private lives of people,’ she told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday night, after sharing a stage with Iranian-born Labor senator Sam Dastyari.
‘The views of the Vatican affect the lives of Catholics in this country.’

Professor Triggs also said Sharia divorce courts should be allowed in Australia, under a system where a Muslim man can leave his wife by saying ‘I divorce you’ three times and a woman’s word is worth less than a man’s.
‘If it’s a matter of private law within the Muslim community and they want to manage their affairs in that way, and they believe in those rules, that’s reasonably acceptable,’ she said.
‘Sharia law opponents are bigots’: Muslim psychologist calls…
‘I agree with Pauline Hanson’: Muslim woman from western…Professor Triggs’ likening of Sharia law, which secular Muslims reject, to Catholic canon law comes a month after controversial Muslim psychologist Hanan Dover made exactly the same argument.
‘Australia’s liberal democracy prides itself being accommodating to different codes of law for different groups: halacha law for Jews, canon law for Catholics, tribal law for the Aboriginal communities, Islamic law for Muslims,’ Ms Dover said on Facebook in July.
‘These are where the double standards we have to face from politicians/media commentators and bigots.’
Like Gillian Triggs, Muslim psychologist Hanan Dover has also compared Sharia law to Catholic canon law from the Vatican
Gillian Triggs shared a stage with Labor senator Sam Dastyari to discuss his new book
On Thursday night, Professor Triggs was on stage at the University of Sydney interviewing her former university student Senator Dastyari about his book, One Halal of a Story.
Later, she told Daily Mail Australia that One Nation leader Pauline Hanson’s policy of banning the burqa could be unconstitutional and would be likely to fail in the High Court.
‘It could be. It’s going to be a matter for the High Court. Wearing an external representation of your religious faith is something that we respect in Australia,’ she said.
Professor Triggs also slammed Senator Hanson for wearing a burqa into parliament last week.
‘It was obviously a stunt. It was one which demeans the Muslim people and it demeaned those women who choose to wear a burqa,’ she said.
‘It was a disgraceful performance but she’s made her point.’
Iranian-born non-practising Muslim senator Sam Dastyari also hit out at Pauline Hanson
Dastyari is not “non-practicing”, he is a full on Mohammedan agitprop. His whole family came here to spread Islam, not for anything else.
Sam Dastyari said Pauline Hanson’s burqa stunt attacked the meaning of being an Australian
Dastyari wouldn’t know what the meaning of Australian is until it bites him in his corrupt ass.
Senator Dastyari, a non-practising Muslim who doesn’t believe in Allah or God, said Pauline Hanson’s burqa stunt was an attack on multiculturalism and ‘what it means to be Australian’.
Dastyari never claimed he was a non practising Muslim who doesn’t believe in Allah or God. Where does that come from?
The Labor powerbroker also had a go at Australians who campaigned against mosques and halal certification.
‘It’s all about the code words at the moment. It’s not acceptable to turn around and say, ‘I don’t like Muslims’,’ he said.
We will not be told by a despicable Mohammedan Labor operative what’s acceptable and that we have to kowtow to Muslims.
‘So they say, “I don’t like halal certification”. People don’t feel comfortable saying, “I don’t want a mosque in my community because I won’t want Muslims moving here”, they say, “The problem with the mosque is the parking”.’

How is it that Christians are pilloried for non-PC views (eg no to same sex marriage) but Muslims should be free to break the law of the land? Ms Triggs defies belief. How did she ever get a government job? There is zero in common between catholic “law” which is not enforceable in civil law, and Sharia law which is also not enforceable. Yet. Does Ms Triggs not realise that she is despised as a woman by Islam. Sam Dystopia was trying to get away from her if the photo is any guide!
Sharia law is fundamentally different in principle from canon (Catholic Church ) law. Sharia law does not accept the legitimacy of Australian, or any civil law . All is Islam. The Catholic Church teaches that the civil authority is legitimate (“Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s . Give unto God, that which is God’s.”)
Noting the example in the article, sharia and canon law differ a lot. For instance, unlike sharia law, canon law does not permit couples to divorce. Peter Inns is correct. Canon law is not enforceable in civil courts, here in Canada or in Australia. Nor are Catholics agitating to make it so.
Also Canon Law only applies to Roman Catholics, but even then most wouldn’t know of the diktats or would ignore them. Sharia OTOH applies to everyone, Muslim and non Muslim even if only indirectly for the latter.
This woman is senile.
