Yeah, that's why I said "silver lining" instead of a "good thing". Discrediting arbitration is good, but doing so in this way relies on everybody being afraid of Muslims. And, because of that, it's only talked about with regard to Muslims.

People are saying "Sharia is a parallel law system in Britain!", instead of "arbitration is a parallel law sytem all over the place, usually dominated by corporations, but now some religious fundamentalists are taking advantage of it!"

Why is arbitration bad for individuals? It's cheaper in legal fees. To arbitrators generally side with the big guy or something?
