Archbishop of Canterbury: Sharia in UK is 'Unavoidable' (Barf Alert)
LGF ^ | Feb. 07, 2008 | Charles Johnson

The Archbishop of Canterbury is an absolute disgrace, and the very definition of a “dhimmi:” Sharia law in UK is ‘unavoidable’.

The Archbishop of Canterbury says the adoption of certain aspects of Sharia law in the UK “seems unavoidable”.

Dr Rowan Williams told Radio 4’s World at One that the UK has to “face up to the fact” that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.

Dr Williams argues that adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion.

For example, Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia court.

He says Muslims should not have to choose between “the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty”.

Yeah, right. This is feed-a-crocodile-in-hopes-that-it-eats-you-last kind of stuff.

Ah, Britain. Looks like they just can’t wait to become the next Bosnia.

This disgusting freak, Rowan Williams, has clearly sold his soul to the Devil. Time and time again, this heretic pervert, has gone against God, Country and Family. He is of the Damned.

I don’t “relate” to some of the laws of the US either (especially the tax laws), but I don’t get to define my own system. England better kick out these cretins from the dark ages before they take over.

Can we say SELL-OUT? How do you spell that in British English anyway?

They used to say: “There’ll always be an England.”

Fat chance.

Liberal illogic. Same in the USA. If it feels right, it’s logical.

Does that include the part about hanging queer priests?

I’m reading Mark Steyn’s book “America Alone”. He has some pithy comments about England and Europe, and their slide back into the Dark Ages, because of their unwillingness to accommodate the Muslims who have immigrated, but not assimilated.

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me
What a long, strange trip it's been.

Oh, you mean that's not Jerry Garcia? :O)

Dr. Williams and his ilk seem to forget exactly what the Muslims are against. They have this notion that ‘if we’re nice to them, they won’t bother us, even though they might disagree with us’. They think they’re sophisticated by adopting this stance, but it just shows they are naive and ignorant of reality.

This is amazing. He may believe what he says - but he is a twit who seems intent on killing his church and his culture. This is one in a string of ridiculous comments - supporting gay bishops, questioning the divinity of Christ, and now recognizing Sharia Law as potentially valid in the UK. What a crisis of belief and identity the UK must be going through. I fear it will only get worse.

Sending them home would accomplish the same thing.

At far lower cost, as well.

The Monarch is still head of the CoE. Wouldn’t it be welcome if Elizabeth issued a statement saying that there would NEVER be sharia in the UK, and, by the way, Williams, you’re a disgrace to the crown and the nation, and your pathetic dhimmi keester is fired.

Her great grandmother would never have tolerated this kind of insane nonsense.

Is it time for Queen Elizabeth to carry out the duties of her coronation oath?

Archbishop: Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law?

Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England?

Queen: All this I promise to do.

Then the Queen arising out of her Chair, supported as before, the Sword of State being carried before her, shall go to the Altar, and make her solemn Oath in the sight of all the people...laying her right hand upon the Holy Gospel in the great Bible...and saying these words:

The things which I have here promised, I will perform, and keep. So help me God.
