Saarbrücker Zeitung explains their readers that it is not unusual for Sharia law to be applied in German courts, as, in Germany, the opinion prevails that “German law is not the only one or the best, but that all legislation must be respected as equal”.
“Why the Sharia belongs to Germany. (…) In Germany, German law applies. But not exclusively. Foreign law applies, too – also the Sharia which is based on the Quran.” Saarbrücker Zeitung, Sept. 19, 2017
To view it that way were “a strength of the legal system, not a scandal”.
Of course. Just like war is peace, and freedom is slavery.
