Australia: Report Condemns Muslim Clerics Application of Sharia Law.....
Practicing Sharia Law in the West (minus the UK) should be considered a felony on the basis that it breaches a woman's human rights.....
SOME Muslim religious leaders are condoning rape within marriage, domestic violence, polygamy, welfare fraud and the exploitation of women, a report on imam training has found.
The report, by the Islamic Women's Welfare Council of Victoria, says some imams perform polygamous marriages knowing that the second wife, a de facto under Australian law, can claim Centrelink payments.
It found that some apply sharia when it benefits men but not when it benefits women, and that they hinder police from pursuing domestic violence charges.
The report, which has been rejected by the Victorian Board of Imams, also found that women seeking divorces had been told by imams that they must leave "with only the clothes on their back" and not seek support or a share of property because they can get welfare payments.

Sharia should be banned formally throughout the West.
