'' 'The ruling sends a terrible signal to Muslim women,' said Kristina Koehler, an expert on Islam and a member of parliament for Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrat-Christian Social Union alliance.

Calling it 'unacceptable and abhorrent' for women to be told by a German court of an Islamic right to corporal punishment, she said the judge should have followed German civil law and not Islamic teaching.''

Sooner or later all German courts will be replaced by Islamic courts and only one law will prevail: The Shariah.

On a side note, Kristina Koehler of the CDU party has been put on a ''Hitliste'' for her audacity to critize Islamic teaching.
