Sharia Law in Australia

It has been reported recently that some senior members of the Australian Muslim community have been calling for the introduction of Sharia Law in Australia. At this stage they just want it to apply to Muslims in the area of Business law and laws relating to marriage and divorce.
There are just two things that I have to say about this at this stage.
1 Our citizenship pledge is clear. As an Australian you will obey Australian Laws and uphold Australian values
2 We should NEVER go back to a situation where religious beliefs circumvent or over ride civil law. Western civilisation flourished when the Church and the State were separated forever.
