Yes, Sharia and Catholicism are essentially identical, if you overlook all that business about stonings, amputations, wife-beating, death for apostasy, institutionalized discrimination against non-believers, and the rest.
And as for Sharia courts, when they were established in Britain, officials repeatedly assured the public that they would only cover private matters on a voluntary basis, and that cases touching on criminal matters would be referred to the British courts. This did not happen, specifically regarding spousal abuse cases, since the Qur’an calls for the beating of women “from whom you fear disobedience” (4:34), and yet spousal abuse is illegal in the UK. Australia and other non-Muslim countries should learn from Britain’s example and not establish Sharia courts. However, any learning from experience in this regard will no doubt be denounced as “Islamophobic” and discarded.
Oh, and Ms. Triggs, it’s “Sharia’s no different from Catholicism,” not “Sharia’s no different to Catholicism.”
“‘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,” by Stephen Johnson, Daily Mail Australia, August 24, 2017:
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….
T.G. says
This is truly an uneducated comment. My question is in light of her statement on Sharia, what were her judgements on cases she adjudicated before she became an ex-human rights chief. What is her ulterior motive for such a comment. Talk to those who have escaped or trying to escape from under Sharia and get the true picture. Slavery and Sharia are synonyms. Catholicism and Sharia = two entirely different animals.

No man if you know the history of catholic from the biginning, is identical with what ISIS is doing,even the worst one.in human history no one compare with catholic fascism and genocide.the catholic killed millions millions nonchristians and christians except muslims.this legacy had bee continuing by others.please recognize that.

I can’t defend the Catholic Church, but that does seem a stretch. Also, grammatically quite so: Similar to, different from. Americans slide over the cliff with “different than”; Brits (and Aussies apparently) have fallen for “different to”.

overman says
l’m convinced people like her are dead from the neck up. How can anyone with even a basic knowledge of Sharia ever declare that it’s indistinguishable from Catholicism. How long has this stupid woman had her head buried in the sand?
david Cameron says
Catholicism, as primitive as it is does not have courts for believers and it’s decisions are not enforceable.
Guy Forester says
In much of Europe and the colonies run by those countries, the civil authority often backed up the church prior to the Reformation. Witch burnings were common in Europe and to a degree in the US. Apostasy and heresy were punished with burning at the stake. Publishing the bible in a language other than Latin was punishable by death. The list is long.
What is different is that the Western world, after killing each other over religion, realized that we were better off with religion out of government. In Islam, they are one and the same. The New Testament makes no claim for civil/temporal supremacy, nor does it give authority to Christians to force their faith on others.
David says
Trigg: “These are where the double standards we have to face from politicians/media commentators and bigots.” There it is, you oppose Sharia so you are a bigot; tribalism at its route, the left is brining back tribalism.
The problem Trigg avoids is unlike Cannon Law, Sharia is enforced on non-believers as well as Islamic faithful, as JW chronicles daily. Sharia overrides secular law and this cannot be allowed in a western democracy; “boycott sharia” this should become a mantra of the right.
Similarly Halal food proceeds are used to collect money from unsuspecting non-believers; boycott Halal .
Karen says
Separate, but equal? Yeah, that never works.
For the first time in the history of the world absolute equality is enshrined in law, largely thanks to the West. But the West is giving up on the idea to please the Islamists.

John Forbes says
This woman has had a frontal lobotomy or has some form of mental disorder !
Some of the statements are utterly ridiculous !
She cannot have read the KORAN, Hadiths or Sunna or the Life of Mohammed or the Traveller ! Not possible with idiotic statements like those stated above ! .
In many Saudi Cities there are women with young children begging at the lights because they have been booted out of home .
Women:s word is worth half that of a man . In a custody battle the children go to the man , Beatings are common place !
Adulterers can be stoned to death, Apostates are executed !
Triggs has no credibility – talk to RITA PANAHI about Sharia !
How on earth did this woman get this job & why has she lasted SO LONG AT IT ! She is like a TRAVELLING TRAIN WRECK of STUPIDITY !!
Morton Doodslag says
Her hatred and contempt for Christianity probably explains her passive aggressive idiocy more than anything…. on some level this witch knows Islam is different, and we all know she’d never sanction Christian religious courts in any similar fashion in this modern day.
So behind her vile equivalency lays a sadistic desire to impose another oppressive religious dogma, perhaps as an appeasement to her new barbaric overlords, or perhaps as punishment for any Westerner who ever did, or still does, embrace any strain of Christianity.
Her stance belies a profound self-loathing for her culture of origin, and a diseased desire to expiate for her latent guilt over percieved “crimes” the West has supposedly committed against hapless primitives like the Muslims. What a bigot. What a self-loathing cow. What a nasty, passive-aggressive post-modern WITCH.
eduardo odraude says
If Gillian Triggs finds this comment harsh, she might consider that statements like hers aid and abet the tremendous suffering that is imposed by sharia and the sharia ethos in many parts of the world.
Gillian Triggs’ statement is criminally negligent. That public figures are usually emperors with no clothes is revealed by nothing so clearly as by their truly stupid statements about Islam.
One of the best books about Islam — simultaneously one of the most compassionate yet hardest hitting — is by one of the compatriots of Gillian Triggs: Mark Durie: The Third Choice. She obviously has not read that brilliant work, though her stupidity appears to be so blazing that perhaps not even Durie could dampen it.
Kay says
She is using ignorance of Christianity and dislike of the Catholic Church to further this end.
Her claim is of course ludicrous and will have disastrous results (if sharia courts are allowed). I didn’t think we would be giving up our law and our ideals so easily.
Scary stuff. Also I saw on Breitbart that Qatar is funding elementary schools in the US.
Frederick Middleton says
Send her to live for a few months in Iran or Arabia, she would soon change her tune.
Tarr says
Not only is this functionary a moral idiot, she is profoundly ignorant. Roman Catholic canon law has authority only over ecclesiastical and strictly religious practice matters. There are ecclesiastical and canon law courts which pass judgment on sacramental matters of the faithful. The canon law courts pass on the sacramental validity of a marriage. They do not interfere in any way with the civil determination of marriage or divorce. You cannot ghettoize yourself as a Roman Catholic and be only subject to canon law courts. The Catholic bishops and canon law officials do not exercise civil authority in any way, shape or form. Ms. Triggs, in her supreme arrogance, is happy to hand over civil authority to Islamic theocrats and proclaims her inclusiveness. She is a divider and destroyer of Western civil society.
mortimer says
Gillian Triggs has not read the Sira, hadiths, canonical commentaries of Islam, nor Islamic history, nor manual of Sharia, nor collections of fatwas, and yet, preposterously, she presents herself as an AUTHORITY and an EXPERT on Sharia law.
This is the smugness of the postmodernist who believes in TRUTHINESS… the idea that ‘truth’ is what you look up in YOUR GUT… not what you look up in authoritative, primary, foundational source texts.
No… actual, laborious research would contradict the POLITICAL AGENDA of Dhimmitude.
Santa Voorhees says
The Left’s claim that Islam is peaceful is merely based on wishful thinking, not on what the Quran, Hadiths etc actually teach.
We warned them, but they called us racists. Now leftists better enjoy getting killed for simply being non-muslim. That is what they’re asking for.
jewdog says
Tolerating the intolerant is the new intolerance. And if you don’t think apples and oranges are identical than you’re a racist.
utis says
What does she know about Catholicism? Where’s her expertise, hell, even her experience? I grew up Catholic in the 1950’s and ’60’s. No priest or nun ever told me to stone a parish member for adultery, or kill a girl who had an illegitimate child, or murder unarmed Jews or Protestants just because they weren’t Catholics. I don’t see that restraint in islamic countries in the 21st century!
mortimer says
Sharia law is in fact DIFFERENT from Roman Catholic canon law in a very profound and significant manner. Sharia law is a discriminatory CIVIL LAW which divides all of society into three classes of Muslims, slaves and subjugated dhimmis. Sharia law APPLIES TO NON-MULIMS, while RC canon law only applies to Roman Catholics.
Slavery and the third-class status of non-Muslims are normative parts of Islam enshrined in discriminatory Sharia law.
Gillian Triggs doesn’t have a clue that Sharia law is the CIVIL LAW of the Islamic State.
http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/S/ShariaLaw.aspx
“Muslim or Islamic law, both civil and criminal justice as well as regulating individual conduct both personal and moral.
So thorough is the integration of the justice system and Church under Sharia law that Sharia courts are essentially religious courts; judges are usually local church (Mosque) officials.”
Tom says
We have allowed the lunatics to run the asylum for WAY too long.
It is time that we, the sane, start to turn this around and become vocal, put the lunatic politicians and their appointees, like this brain dead woman, back into their holes where they can spout their garbage without affecting anyone but themselves.
We must become politically active to ensure a change in leadership in our countries.
mortimer says
ANYONE WHO ENDORSES SHARIA LAW IS IMMORAL & ANTI-DEMOCRATIC or FAILS TO UNDERSTAND SHARIA:
In Refash Party v Turkey, the European Court of Human Rights adopted these words:
“It is difficult to declare one’s respect for democracy and human rights while at the same time supporting a regime based on sharia, which CLEARLY DIVERGES FROM VALUES (of the Convention for the Protection of HUMAN RIGHTS and Fundamental Freedoms), particularly with regard to its criminal law and criminal procedure, its rules on the legal status of women and the way it intervenes in all spheres of private and public life in accordance with religious precepts….
“In the Court’s view, a political party whose actions seem to be aimed at introducing Sharia in a State party to the Convention can hardly be regarded as an association complying with the democratic ideal that underlies the whole of the Convention.”
Others in this forum have used the words “MORAL IDIOT”. I concur.

WorkingClassPost says
Perhaps she’s thinking of the inquisition, and witch hunting or whatever it was that Catholic jurists got up to in the middle and dark ages.
Is that what she’d like to see restored?
mortimer says
Dear WorkingClass, The point to observe here is that Canon Law applies only to church members, whereas Sharia law is civil law that punishes non-Muslims and frequently refers to the ‘SULTAN’ and to the Islamic State.
Sharia law has large sections devoted to slavery and sections about the control and taxation of dhimmis as well as the duty of jihad warfare against them.
John A. Marre says
The Vatican does not have courts in Australia. The Vatican doesn’t influence everyday life.
The principles of Christianity have some effect on a small number of people, and lead them to a better life, a life of kindness, tolerance and peace.
The principles of Islam affect a large number of people, and lead them to rape, burn and destroy buildings, and kill people.
I know that the left can’t reign in its joy as it brings about the replacement of Christianity by Islam, but sometimes they are so obvious that all can see what they are up to.

This ex-Human Rights chief, like all extreme-leftists, has chosen to keep her head deeply buried into her favorite orifice. Now she is utterly comatose; one may say brain-dead. Her comparison of Sharia with Catholicism validates the fact; she is brain-dead.
It, also, confirms that those of this radical-left affliction are hell-bent on spreading this mind numbing contagion and they are prevailing.
Her like perceive themselves as the intelligentsia; this is a bone of contention. She has proven with this boneheaded comparison that intellectually, she and her like fall short of the exceptional I.Q. benchmark.
PRCS says
She exemplifies this Bill Warner phrase: “They don’t know sunna from tuna”.
al norm says
In my experience these people generally have a daughter or niece or a close friend’s daughter married to a Muslim. She just wants everyone to be nice.
Her face and attitude, by the way, is the face you’ll see if arrive a Hell’s Door as she smiles and says “this is the best for you”.
Lydia says
A world gone mad.
They can’t bow low enough to these infidel muslims it seems.
stan lee says
Mrs.Triggs may be seeking the reasonable streak she believes existent in Islamism, and despite her recognized position in Australian society, she is a reminder of the mess the Brits have got themselves in equating Islam to Christendom. At least she’s an EX Human Rights Commissioner which assures that Australia tolerates freedom of speech, as in Mrs. Triggs’ case, but she has no claim to now being a Commissioner.

Sarah says
Gillian Triggs. My God, this is an evil piece of work.
Take the case of John Basikbasik. This slimebag was an Indonesian living in Australia. He bashed his pregnant partner to death – with a fucking BICYCLE. Both the woman and the unborn child died. This is after he went on a many-years long crime spree in Australia.
We jailed him for seven years. That’s all. Seven years. And fucking Triggs came along and said not only was he wrongly imprisoned – but that we the taxpayers should have to pay him $350,000 for compensation. The compensation was due to (and I kid you not, I’m quoting this) ‘his hurt feelings’.
He’s been labelled as non-fixable. And a danger to any woman in his presence. By the Psychologists and the Judiciary involved in his trials. He’s an animal who should be shot. Or at the least, flung back to Indonesia for good. And Triggs wants to say sorry and throw OUR money at that monster? Never mind even discussing sending him back to Indonesia – because he came here originally, claiming asylum – that’s the golden ticket in Triggs eyes, you see.
This is pure Gillian Triggs. She’s completely OK with dead women and dead babies apparently. Women and babies bashed to death with a BICYCLE for Pete’s sake.
She literally hounded a famous Australian political cartoonist to death, for cartoons published in Australian newspapers on political jokes. He had a fatal heart attack while she was hunting him down in a tribunal over where his cartoons were considered to be ‘offensive’.
She went after 3 kids in University. They were kids. They were fined a quarter of a million dollars for daring to enter a computer lab and try to use the computers in that lab. Students. But these students weren’t Aborigine. And only Aborigines were allowed to use that lab, you see. It was an Aborigine Computer Lab
(my guess is, the difference between an Aboriginal Computer Lab and a Computer Lab for literally everyone else, is the stuff everyone else can use doesn’t need to be locked down to the desk. And that they don’t need to put much equipment in the Aborigine Lab because it services a seriously tiny number of students. Yes I know what I said is offensive – but its damn true,)
Triggs spearheaded the trial against these KIDS, where they were hauled in front of the Human Rights Commission (?!?!?!?!?!?!) in order to answer for their shocking crime of entering a computer lab – when they didn’t have the correct racial genetics.
The sheer mind bending irony of this racial segregation would be hilarious, if it wasn’t for the fact that these kids were dragged over hot coals and put through the absolute wringer and Triggs tried to fine an amount of money they can probably never afford to pay back at such young age’s – because this witch declared that what they did violated the laws and was RACISM.
Let me add here – that these kids who so egregiously broke the ‘law’ as according to Triggs an who are racist scum, according to Triggs – were students in a student group trying to use the computer’s to make a post on their social media page that FIGHTS FUCKING RACISM. These kids were little budding lefties!!!
It defies logic and is beyond belief. Thankfully, she lost that fight. Even the lefties on her side turned on her for that bullshit. Her credibility was only ever built from her own side of politics – and she lost even their support on that mind bendingly dumb decision.
Apparently now she likes Sharia Law too.. Well, the old witch can have it, in spades. Why doesn’t she move her old ass off to Saudi Arabia? Hell, she only has to leave Point Piper and her gilded luxury and move to Auburn or Parramatta. Or Campbelltown. Anywhere in Western Sydney. She can get a taste then, of what living around Islam is like.
She was and still remains, a dark stain on our nation. And I do not forget that it was the Gillard government who appointed her, through Labor Federal MP, Nicola Roxon. Half that front bench are still sitting in Parliament today – the ALP will never get my vote whilst a single soul from the Gillard government remains in their cushy political job.
Sarah says
Sorry for all the swearing. I have nothing but intense disgust and a deep burning anger for this creature. Much like Merkel, but for me, as an Aussie, Triggs is far more personal to me, than Merkel and her idiotic choices and beliefs.
trisha says
Glad to see this appalling excuse for a human being has attracted worldwide attention, rather than just the loathing she has amassed in her own country.
Add to this that the old boiler has another tragic sin to atone. She had a child born with some incurable genetic condition, with very low life expectancy. The Triggs decided to foster out the imperfect child, to devote her energies to the other ‘perfect’ children she had borne. Sadly. the afflicted child lived for many years (21, I think). A hideous tragedy, a ghastly decision for a mother to make, but Triggs’ later career reinforces the suspicion that her supremacist views and contempt for ordinary people did not just happen overnight.
blackcat mendoza says
She should have her vagina sewn up with barbed wire, and tied backwards to a bucking bronco. Stupid brain-dead cretinous old fool!! And Tony Jones (ABC suckhole) would likely paint her as a picture of moral righteousness!!

dumbledoresarmy says
I wonder whether one of us Aussie jihadwatchers can put her on the spot? Let’s send her copies of the Barnabas Fund informational booklet – strictly factual, and sober, and with a reference at the end to two standard, and very popular among English-speaking Muslims, sharia handbooks: “What is Sharia?” This booklet plainly lists and describes five main areas where sharia – classical sharia – violates **universal human rights**. Get a yellow highlighter and highlight that section of the booklet.
Then send it to Ms Triggs, with a brief, calm, icily polite covering letter.
And she needs to be put on the spot as to whether – since she’s okay with the gross abuse involved in the thoroughly-Islamic custom of talaq divorce – she’d *also* be okay with mohammedans murdering ‘blasphemers’ a la the massacre of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, or sending assassins out after any mohammedan on Australian soil who was brave enough to defect from the cult. I’d like to see her publicly questioned about that. Oh, and would she be okay with legalising the wedding-and-bedding (even the *forcible* wedding-and-bedding) of eight or nine year old girls, as per the example of Mohammed and nine-year-old Aisha?? Is she okay with that? It’s permitted by Sharia. It’s Sunnah.
AAAAND – since quran 4.34 encourages mohammedans to beat deemed-potentially-insubordinate wives… is she okay with Mohammedans beating up on their wives? Will she argue that our current denunciation of domestic violence must stop short at the doors of the mosques?? That a Mohammedan who beats his wife must NOT be punished, because it’s Sharia??

Gillian Trigg is delusional most of the time and probably sociopathic some of the time. She has been caught out lying to various government enquiries and commissions. She knows nothing about Islam.
She has left a trail of community relations disasters behind her. The woman is a disgrace. And for the privilege of her lies, half-truths and victimisation of anyone who expressed the slightest disagreement, the Australian tax payer paid her $500, 000 (AD) a year.

Larry says
Last time I checked, we do not have Catholicism Courts here, in United States, but even if we did, I doubt if they would be stoning people and cutting off heads.
Chris Malan says
Hi Larry, Ever heard of the Inquisition? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition No, they did not cut off heads as they didn’t want to spill blood. But a good old burning at the stake was very popular amongst the Catholics. The estimates of the number killed vary widely, hundreds of thousands to millions are mentioned. There were efforts to exterminate certain groups, like the Waldensians.
There is no doubt, the Catholics were once a scourge like Islam is now. Only loss of their power stopped them. Hopefully the same will happen to Islam.
Is bringing up history hate speech? Should it not be mentioned like the militant tendencies of Islam are sacrosanct?
Chris Malan says
Well, Sharia law and the Inquisition back. And no, not only Catholics were persecuted during the Inquisition. Many non-Catholic Jews were expelled and the Catholics killed thousands of Protestants. After the Edict of Nantes was recalled in 1685, 400,000 fled France and thousands were killed.
Michael Casmer says
and don’t forget the thousands of Catholics killed by the British Government in England, Ireland, and Canada.

patriotliz says
Hard to believe Triggs could be any sort of authority on “Human Rights,” except maybe under Hitler, based on her disregard for her 3rd child—a “useless eater”…a “life not worth living”…
“Their third child, a daughter named Victoria, was born in 1984, profoundly disabled and with a short life expectancy. Triggs has stated:
Her condition usually results in the death of the baby before or shortly after birth. In fact, the doctors
kept saying, “Just leave her in the corner and she’ll die.” So, it sounds terrible, but I’d look at Victoria
and think, “Well, you’re going to die, so I’m not going to invest too much in you.” But she didn’t die.
She had this inner rod of determination, and she simply refused to die.
At about six months of age, Triggs and Clark took Victoria home, and, with the help of the Uniting Church, found a family who took over her primary care. Victoria died at the age of 21. When asked if this arrangement bothered Triggs, she said: “Yes, because you have child and you expect to look after her. But in the end I simply made the judgement that I would rather put my time into my other children and family, because I also never believed she would live to that age.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillian_Triggs
Ethics, including Medical Ethics, has been taken over by these Leftist Fascists—re-creating what I call the good little Nazi doctors…like the ones who wouldn’t “allow” the parents of Charlie Gard to pay for the care of their own child.
blackcat mendoza says
There you have it, from her own mouth. She’s a psychopath, exhibiting all the major signs of the condition which, under law, is not a mental health issue – they are fully cognizant of the results of their actions, therefore fully responsible.
Surely the prerequisite of a so-called “Human Rights Commissioner” is to have a bountiful store of EMPATHY?
Pure effing hypocritical.EVIL incarnate!
Aussie Infidel says
Equating Sharia law with Catholic canon law, indicates how superficial is Triggs’ understanding of Islam. While canon law was the first modern Western legal system, it is not binding in most countries. Most Western countries are now parliamentary democracies with secular Constitutions, which mandate separation of Church and State. If the Catholic Church tried to impose its laws on Australians, the Pope would very quickly be given a ‘two finger salute’ – at least by the people. But in an Islamic republic under Sharia law, the mullahs could simply decree, “Off with their heads!”
Most Australians will be glad that Triggs has gone. It’s a pity that our government doesn’t disband the whole politically correct Human Rights Department. We still live with iniquitous legislation under which a person can be prosecuted by the State for ‘offending’ someone else’s ethnic sensitivities.
In Islamic republics, there is no separation of religion and State, and Sharia law is often enforced. Allowing any form of Sharia would be the ‘thin edge of the wedge’ for further Islamisation of Australia. Does Trigg understand what is meant by ‘civilisation or stealth jihad?
